Maintenance & Care
To maintain maximum cleaning performance, the
following maintenance steps must be performed:
1. Empty the dirt tank when the dirt reaches the
“Full” line on the side. (See page 10)
2. Check the pre-motor filter at least once a
month and clean or replace as needed. To access
the pre-motor filter, remove the Easy Empty
dirt tank from the vacuum base and push the
lid release button located on the carry handle.
Remove the foam filter from the filter tray.
3. The post-motor filter assists in the filtration
process to return clean air to the room. Replace
the post-motor filter every three to six months.
To access the post-motor filter, remove the
filter tray located below the Easy Empty dirt
tank. When the filter becomes dirty, push the
filter through the bottom of the tray to clean or
replace the filter.
NOTE: The pleated post-motor filter may NOT
be washed with water or detergent. If dust and/
or debris accumulates on the filter, gently tap
the filter on the side of a garbage container.
Note: More frequent filter cleaning or replac-
ing 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.
