HOW TO MAINTAIN
The filters play a very important role in the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. If the filters become clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning takes place regardless of how powerful the unit. To keep the cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, check the filters frequently and clean when necessary.
Some fine particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance. When vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, clean the filters more often.
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before servicing the vacuum.
Emptying the Dust Compartment
Empty the dust compartment after each use or as necessary. When the compartment is full the dust will settle in the filter.
For ease of use, it is recommended that the dust compartment be emptied regularly.
