How to maintain your Vacuum
To maintain maximum cleaning
performance, the following maintenance
steps must be performed:
1. Clean the dirt tank if any visible
clogs occur.
2. Empty the dirt cup when the dirt reaches
the “Full” line on the side.
3. Check the inner and outer circular filters
in the filter cup, as well as the pre-motor
filter at least once per month and clean
or replace as needed.
4. Check rotating floor brush frequently,
remove any strings, hair or debris that
might interfere with the suction power.
