Step 5: Clean the Housing and Intake Holes
Clean the rotating impeller. One way to do this is to
draw a soft cloth / wet tissue through each channel
with the aid of a screwdriver or blunt stick.
(*recommended*) Take care not to scratch or damage
the impeller in the process.

For an alternate cleaning method, the impeller can be
detached from the motor by further disassembling
the assembly from the back, by unscreing the FOUR
bigger torx screws on top of the stator, exposing the
motor. The impeller can then be washed free of dirt
easily.
Remove the retainer ring for ease of work by slightly prying the three visible snap locks and lifting up the ring at an
angle.
Remove the bottom sponge and clean any visible dirt inside the housing with the aid of a vacuum cleaner.
A bristle brush coupled with a vacuum cleaner will be an eective way of cleaning the air intake holes.
