Maintenance and care

To maximize your cleaning performance and extend the life of your vacuum, it is very important that you empty your dirt container and check and clean your filters frequently. Perform the following maintenance steps:

1.Empty the dirt container when the dirt reaches the “Full” line on the container, or more frequently to prevent overfills. For best performance, empty after each use.

2.Check the pre-motor filter and post-motor HEPA media filter at least once a month, clean or replace as needed.

NOTE: Be sure to clean or replace your filters anytime the air flow indicator (select models only) begins to turn red.

3.Replace the post-motor HEPA media filter every three to six months.

NOTE: More frequent filter cleaning may be necessary if you are vacuuming new carpet, fine dust, or have allergy concerns. Follow the instructions on the following pages to perform these simple maintenance steps.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn power switch OFF and disconnect polarized plug from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.

Tip:

To maximize cleaning performance, check and clean or replace all filters as suggested.
