CLEANING (CONT.)
To maintain the performance of your filters, they
should be routinely washed and replaced.
• If you notice decreased suction power,
or the filter is visibly dirty, clean the filter
immediately.
• The pre-motor filters (sponge and
knitted cotton) should be washed at
least once a month and replaced every
3 months.
• The post-motor filter (high-eciency
paper) should be washed at least once
a year.
• Do not put filters in a dishwasher,
washing machine, tumble dryer, oven,
or microwave, or place near an open
flame.
• Never operate the vacuum without the
dust bin or filters properly installed.
• Frequent use may require cleaning the
filters more often. Cleaning the filters
regularly helps maintain your vacuum’s
cleaning performance.
• You may need to replace the filters
more frequently depending on your use
and environment.
• If the surrounding humidity is high,
please allow the filters to air-dry for a
longer period of time before reinstalling
them back into the vacuum.
To maintain the performance of your filters, they
