Disposable Filters
The filters play a very important roll in the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. If the
filters become clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take
place regardless of how powerful the unit is. To keep the cleaner operating at
maximum efficiency, change or clean the filters as needed. Some fine particles can
restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even before the filters
appear to be dirty. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners,
powder, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, the filters may need to be changed
more often.
