To remove, open the dust bag compartment cover and pull the pre- motor assembly out of the vacuum. Remove the filter from the filter assembly. Rinse in lukewarm water and let it air dry completely for 24 hours. Do not use a washing machine to rinse the filter. Do not use a hair dryer to dry it. Air dry only. When the pre-motor filter is completely dry, insert it in the filter assembly and replace it into the vacuum. (Fig. 16)
