Reusable filter
How to clean filter
Disconnect cleaner from electri-
cal outlet.
The filter protects the motor from dirt particles. Brush dirt from filter
when emptying dust cup. If a significant reduction in pick-up is observed,
the filter may be washed in warm water. Filter must be completely dry
before replacing it in cleaner. Under normal operating conditions, a new
filter may never be needed if care is taken not to pick up oily debris or
sharp objects.
