Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Conga Rockstar MULTICYCLONIC XL Animal Plus.
- Emptying the Dust Tank:
The 4-liter bagless dust tank should be emptied regularly, ideally after each significant use or when the MAX fill line is reached. To empty:
- Ensure the vacuum is unplugged.
- Locate the dust tank release button and detach the tank from the main unit.
- Position the tank over a trash bin and open the bottom lid to release the collected dirt.
- Close the lid securely and reattach the tank to the vacuum.
- Cleaning/Replacing Filters:
The vacuum is equipped with a HEPA filter system that requires periodic cleaning to maintain air filtration efficiency. An extra filter is included for convenience.
- Unplug the vacuum.
- Access the filter compartment, typically located near the dust tank or at the rear of the unit.
- Remove the HEPA filter. Tap it gently over a trash bin to dislodge loose dust. If washable, rinse under cool running water until the water runs clear. Allow it to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting. Do not use heat to dry.
- Replace the filter if it shows signs of wear or damage, or if cleaning does not restore suction.
- Cleaning Accessories: Periodically check and clean the universal floor brush, pet hair accessory, and other tools to remove tangled hair, threads, or debris that may impede performance.
