Cleaning or Replacing the
Vacuum Filter
The key to maximum performance is having a
clean filter. Cleaning the filter after each use will
help your vacuum operate at peak efficiency.

To clean filter:
1. Turn power off and unplug unit.
2. Remove the dirt container from the unit, as
directed above.

of a waste container, removing any visible dirt.
4. Replace filters back into the dirt container
and attach dirt container to the base of the unit.
Slide the lever to your right to lock.
NOTE:
• After heavy usage, you may clean the
pre-motor, foam filter by washing it gently
by hand in warm water and mild dish
detergent. Rinse thoroughly and make certain
it is completely dry before replacing it.
• You may replace the paper, pleated filter
when dirty. Recommended replacement is
every 6 months.
