Maintenance and care
Unplug the vacuum from electrical outlet.
1. The pre-motor filter protects the motor from
dirt particles. It is located in the filter
compartment underneath the dirt container. If
the filter becomes dirty, lift out the filter and
clean. This filter may be hand washed in cold
water with mild detergent. Rinse well and air
dry thoroughly before replacing.
2. The HEPA media post-motor filter assists
in the filtration process to return clean air
to the room. It is also located in the filter
compartment underneath the dirt container.
If the filter becomes dirty, open the filter
door, remove the filter and replace. The HEPA
media filter is not washable
.
