5. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and extend the life of your CPAI Replacement Filter, regular cleaning is recommended:
- Frequency: It is recommended to clean the filter every 6-9 months, or more frequently depending on usage and debris accumulation.
- Washing: Remove the filter from the dustbin. Tap off any loose debris. Rinse the filter under running water until the water runs clear.
- Drying: Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting it into the vacuum. Do not use a dryer or direct heat, as this can damage the filter material.
