The Pre-Motor Filter protects the motor from dirt particles. It
is located in the slide out tray underneath the Dirt Container.
If the filter becomes dirty, pull out the tray, lift out the filter
and clean. This filter may be hand washed in cold water
with mild detergent. Rinse well and air dry thoroughly
before replacing.
The HEPA Media Post-Motor Filter assists in the
filtration process to return clean air to the room. It is
located behind the door on the back of the cleaner. If the
filter becomes dirty, open the door, remove the filter and
replace. The HEPA Media Filter is not washable.
