Maintenance
1. Filter Cleaning and Replacement
- Integrated Filter Cleaning System: During dry vacuuming, press the "PRESS" button on the motor head (Figure 5) to activate the filter cleaning function. This dislodges accumulated dust from the HEPA filter, maintaining suction power.
- Manual HEPA Filter Cleaning: For thorough cleaning, remove the HEPA filter. Tap it gently to remove loose dust. It can be washed with water; ensure it is completely dry before reinstallation.
- Foam Filter Cleaning: After wet vacuuming, remove and rinse the foam filter with water. Allow it to air dry completely before storage or next use.
- Replace filters if they are damaged or if cleaning no longer restores performance.
2. Tank Cleaning
- After wet vacuuming, always empty the tank using the drain valve and rinse it thoroughly with water.
- For dry debris, simply unclamp the motor head and empty the tank. Wipe the interior with a damp cloth if necessary.
- Ensure the tank is dry before storing or switching from wet to dry vacuuming.
