Cleaning the Pre-Motor Filters
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the power cord
must be disconnected before performing any maintenance/trouble
shooting checks.
Under normal use, the two (2) pre-motor filters should be
cleaned every six (6) months for optimal performance of your
vacuum.
1. Unplug the power plug from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the dust cup assembly from the vacuum.
3. Remove the pre-motor filter cover. (Fig. 29)
4. Remove the pre-motor filter frame. (Fig. 30)
5. Inside the filter frame are two (2) filters. Filter 1 is a
foam filter and filter 2 is a felt filter. Both are washable
and reusable for the lifetime of the vacuum (under
normal household use.) (Fig. 31)
6. Rinse the filters in lukewarm water until the water runs
clean. Squeeze and let the filters air dry for 24 hours
before re-installing them into the filter frame. Do not use
a washing machine to clean the filters. Do not use a
clothes dryer or a hair dryer to dry them. Air dry only.
You can also rinse the filter frame if you wish but it must
be dried completely before re-installing into the vacuum.
Never operate the vacuum without ALL the filters in
place.
Note: To continue using your vacuum while the pre-motor
filters are drying, you can replace them with the extra set of
pre-motor filters that are included.

the filter frame. Insert the felt filter first and then place
the foam filter over it.
8. Replace the filter frame into the vacuum.

snaps into place.
