To clean the pre-motor filters:

2 Pull the 2 filters out from the top of the motor
base.
3 Rinse the filters thoroughly in lukewarm water until
the water runs clear.
DO NOT put the filters in the washing machine or
dishwasher.
NOTE: The material in the filters will discolor
over time. This is NORMAL and will not affect the
performance of the filters.
4 Squeeze out excess water and let air-dry for at
least 24 hours before replacing. Do not use a hair
dryer or other heating methods to dry.
5 Place the felt filter in first, then the foam filter.

To clean the post-motor HEPA filter:
1 Remove the filter cover from the front of the
vacuum by pulling up on the tab and pulling the
cover away from the vacuum.
2 Take out the HEPA filter by pulling it straight out.
3 Turn the HEPA filter over so that the dirty side is on
the bottom and vigorously tap it clean against a
garbage can to remove any dust.
4 Wash the HEPA filter under the tap using lukewarm
water with the dirty side face down until the water
runs clear.
DO NOT put the HEPA filter in the washing
machine or dishwasher.
NOTE: The material in the filter will discolor over
time. This is NORMAL and will not affect the
performance of the filter.
5 Allow the HEPA filter to air dry for 24 hours. Do
not use a hair dryer or other heating methods to
dry.
6 Once the HEPA filter is dry, replace it back into the
vacuum.

the holes at the bottom and then swinging the
cover up until it clicks into place.
