Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance of your vacuum cleaner.
Emptying the Dust Cup:
- The 0.8-quart capacity dust cup should be emptied after each use or when debris reaches the MAX fill line.
- To empty, press the dust cup release latch and lift the dust cup from the vacuum pod.
- Hold the dust cup over a trash bin and press the bottom release latch to open the bottom flap.
- For thorough cleaning, the top of the dust cup can also be opened.
Filter Cleaning:
Your vacuum features a HEPA filter and washable pre-motor filters. Clean filters regularly to maintain suction power.
- Pre-Motor Filters (Foam & Felt): Rinse with water every 3 months, or as needed. Allow to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling.
- HEPA Post-Motor Filter: Rinse with water once a year, or as needed. Allow to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling. Do not use a brush to clean the HEPA filter.
- The Anti-Allergen Complete Seal Technology, combined with the HEPA filter, traps 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum.
