Cleaning the Filters
Your vacuum is equipped with a filtration
system, which helps to reduce dust and
pollen in your home. The pre-motor filter
prevents dust from entering the motor
chamber, while the post-motor filter helps
to clean the vacuum's exhaust.
Both the pre-motor and post-motor filters
may be hand-washed and reused as
needed. To do so, rinse the filters under
lukewarm water until the water runs
clear. Always allow the filters to air dry
for a minimum of 24 hours.
Note
: The pre-motor and post-motor
filters should be removed, cleaned and
re-inserted at least twice a year.
Caution
: DO NOT operate your vacuum
without both filters in place.
Caution
: DO NOT operate your vacuum
with a wet or damp filter in place.
