How to clean the filters
Regularly clean and replace the filters to keep your vacuum's suction power optimal.
To clean filters, rinse with cold water ONLY to prevent damage from cleaning chemicals. Allow
all filters to air-dry for at least 24 hours before reinstalling them to prevent liquid from being
drawn into electric parts.
Pre-Motor
With the dust cup removed, take out the foam and felt filters and rinse them with
water only. Tap loose dirt off filters between washes as needed.
CLEAN PRE-MOTOR FILTERS EVERY 3 MONTHS.
Post-Motor (HEPA)
To access the HEPA Filter, pull the latch under the filter cover and take off the cover.
Remove the HEPA filter and rinse it with water only.
CLEAN HEPA FILTER AND POST MOTOR FILTER EVERY YEAR.
How to replace filters
Follow the previous instructions for removing filters. The pre-motor filters should be replaced every
2.5 years. The post-motor HEPA filter should be replaced every 3 years.

Cleaning the soft roller
DuoClean technology features a bristle brush to deep-clean carpets, and an additional soft
brushroll to pull in larger particles and directly engage floors for a polished look.

24 hours.
