CLEANING THE POST-MOTOR HEPA FILTER

1Remove the filter cover from the front of the vacuum by pulling up on the tab and pulling the cover away from the vacuum. (Fig. 21)

2Take out the HEPA filter by pulling it straight out.

3Turn the filter over so that the dirty side is on the bottom and vigorously tap it clean against a garbage can to remove any dust. (Fig. 22)

4Wash the filter under the tap using lukewarm water with the dirty side face down until the water runs clear. (Fig. 23)

DO NOT put the 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.

5Allow the filter to air dry for 24 hours. Do not use a hair dryer or other heating methods to dry.

6Once the HEPA filter is dry, replace it back into the vacuum.

7Replace the cover by inserting the two tabs into the holes at the top and then swinging the cover down until it clicks into place.

CLEANING THE TURBO BRUSH

1Slide the locking latch (a) forward and gently tilt brush housing upward to open. (Fig. 24)

IMPORTANT: DO NOT force; it will not open all the way.

2Carefully remove any blockage or debris.

3Turn the turbo brush over to inspect the rotating brush and cut away any build-up of hair or string wrapped around the rotating bristle brush with scissors. (Fig. 25)

4Push the housing back down and slide the locking latch backward to lock.
