Maintenance

Cleaning the Filters

Regularly clean the pre-motor and post-motor (HEPA) filters to ensure consistent suction and filtration performance.

• Pre-Motor Filters: These foam and felt filters are located inside the dust cup. Remove them and tap loose dirt between cleanings. Rinse with water as needed (every 3 months) and allow to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting.
• HEPA Post-Motor Filter: This filter is located behind the dust cup. Remove it and tap loose dirt. Rinse with water as needed (annually) and allow to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting.

Cleaning the Brushroll

The self-cleaning PowerFins brushroll is designed to minimize hair wrap, but occasional inspection and cleaning may be necessary.

• Turn off the vacuum and disconnect it from the power source.
• Inspect the brushroll for any tangled hair or debris.
• Use scissors to carefully cut away any wrapped hair.
• Ensure the PowerFins are clear of obstructions for optimal contact with surfaces.
