1. Unplug the vacuum from electrical outlet.
2. The pre-motor filter protects the motor from
dirt particles. It is located in the slide out
tray underneath the dirt container. Check
the pre-motor filter at least once a month.
If the filter becomes dirty, pull out the tray,
lift out the foam filter pad and clean it.
NOTE: The pre-motor filter may be
hand washed in water with mild
detergent. Rinse well and air dry
thoroughly before replacing.
NOTE: Use of moist parts/compo-
nents in your unit will damage the
motor and void your warranty.

The post-motor filter assists in the filtration
process to return clean air to the room. It is
located behind the door on the side of the
vacuum. If the filter becomes dirty, open the
door, remove the filter and replace.
4. The Febreze® filter is designed to eliminate
odors during the regular life of the filter.
Depending on usage, the post-motor filter
should be changed every 3-6 months.
NOTE: The post-motor filter is a
white, pleated filter. This filter
is not washable and must be
replaced when it becomes dirty.
Check rotating floor brush
and drive belt
You should check your vacuum cleaner’s rotating
floor brush and drive belt regularly for wear or
damage. You should also clean the brush and
brush ends of strings, hair and carpet fibers. This
type of debris can wrap around the brush and
hamper its ability to effectively clean your carpet.
Also remove any debris that has accumulated
under the brush cover.
