- Cleaning Foam Filter: Rinse the foam filter under lukewarm running water. Squeeze gently to remove dirt. Allow it to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting. Do not use a dryer or direct heat.
- Cleaning High-Efficiency Filter: Tap the high-efficiency filter gently over a waste bin to dislodge dust. Do not wash this filter unless explicitly stated in your product's specific instructions, as washing can damage some HEPA-type filters.
- Reassembly: Ensure all filters are completely dry before reassembling them into the vacuum cleaner.
