Maintenance

Emptying the Bin:

Empty the clear bin as soon as the dirt reaches the MAX level. To empty, hold the vacuum over a trash can, push the red lever down to release the bin flap, and the dirt will fall out. Push the flap back up until it clicks to close.

Washing the Filter:

For optimal performance, wash the filter at least once a month. Twist the filter counter-clockwise to remove it from the top of the main body. Wash under cold tap water until the water runs clear. Squeeze and tap to remove excess water. Allow to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting. Do not use a washing machine or dryer.

Cleaning the Motorbar™ Cleaner Head:

Periodically check the cleaner head for blockages or debris. The de-tangling vanes help, but occasional manual removal of tangled hair may be necessary. Refer to the included quick-start guide for detailed instructions on removing the brush bar for cleaning.
