4. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your vacuum cleaner:
- Emptying the Dustbin:
The 2.7-liter dustbin should be emptied regularly, especially when the "MAX" fill line is reached. To empty, detach the dustbin from the main unit, open the lid, and dispose of the contents into a waste bin. Reattach securely. The cyclonic action ensures clean air is expelled, leaving only dust and dirt in the bin. This bagless design eliminates the need for replacement vacuum bags.

- Cleaning the HEPA 12 Filter:
The HEPA 12 filter is washable and crucial for trapping fine dust particles and allergens. This filter removes up to 99.5% of small dust particles from the air, preventing them from being expelled back into your home and minimizing respiratory irritations or allergic reactions. Remove the filter from its compartment (usually within or near the dustbin). Rinse it under cold running water until the water runs clear. Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting it. Do not use heat to dry.
- Cleaning Attachments: Wipe down the hose, telescopic tube, and brush heads with a damp cloth as needed. Remove any tangled hair or debris from the brush rolls.
