Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your vacuum cleaner.

1. Emptying the Dustbin

• Press the dustbin release button to detach the dustbin from the main unit.
• Open the dustbin lid and empty the contents into a trash can.
• Close the lid and reattach the dustbin to the main unit.
• It is recommended to empty the dustbin after each use or when the MAX fill line is reached.

2. Cleaning the Filters

The vacuum features an efficient filtration system. Regular cleaning of filters is crucial for maintaining suction power.

• Twist and pull out the filter assembly from the dustbin.
• Separate the metal filter and the HEPA filter.
• Tap off loose dust from both filters over a trash can.
• Rinse the filters under cold running water until the water runs clear. Do not use detergent.
• Allow filters to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reassembling and placing back into the vacuum. Do not use a dryer or direct heat.
• It is recommended to clean filters monthly, or more frequently with heavy use. Replace filters every 3-6 months depending on usage.

• Locate the brush roll release tab or screw on the side of the floor brush.
• Remove the brush roll.
• Use scissors or a cleaning tool to cut and remove any tangled hair or debris from the brush roll.
• Reinsert the brush roll and secure it.

4. Battery Care

• Always use the original charger provided.
• Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures.
• If storing the vacuum for an extended period, charge the battery to about 50% and store in a cool, dry place. Recharge every 3-6 months to prevent deep discharge.
