Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance of your filters is crucial for maintaining vacuum performance. The HEPA filter is reusable and can be cleaned.
Cleaning the Filters:
- Remove Filters: Follow steps 1-3 from the 'Installation Instructions' to remove both the HEPA and sponge filters.
- Tap Off Dust: Gently tap the HEPA filter against a trash can to dislodge loose dust and debris.
- Rinse (HEPA Filter Only): Rinse the HEPA filter under cool, running water until the water runs clear. Do not use detergents or hot water.
- Rinse (Sponge Filter): Rinse the sponge filter under cool, running water. Squeeze gently to remove dirt and excess water.
- Air Dry Completely: Allow both filters to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstallation. Ensure they are 100% dry to prevent mold growth and damage to the vacuum. Do not use a dryer or direct heat.
- Reinstall: Once completely dry, reinstall the filters by following steps 4-6 of the 'Installation Instructions'.
Replacement Frequency:
For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace your HEPA and sponge filters every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage frequency and the amount of debris collected. Replace filters sooner if you notice a significant decrease in suction power or persistent odors.
