6.2 Cleaning the Filter

The vacuum uses a HEPA filter. Clean the filter regularly to prevent clogging and maintain suction. It is recommended to clean the filter every 2-3 uses, or more frequently with heavy use.

1. With the dustbin detached, carefully remove the filter assembly.
2. Tap the filter gently over a trash can to remove loose dust and debris.
3. For a deeper clean, rinse the filter under cool running water. Do not use hot water or detergents.
4. Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting it into the vacuum. Do not use the vacuum with a wet filter.
5. Reassemble the filter and dustbin, then reattach to the main unit.
