To maximize your cleaning performance and 
extend the life of your vacuum, it is very 
important that you empty your dirt container 
and check and clean your filters frequently. 
Perform the following maintenance steps:

1.

 

Empty the dirt container when the dirt reaches 
the “Full” line on the container, or more frequently 
to prevent overfills. For best performance, empty 
after each use. 

2.

 

Check the pre-motor filter and post-motor HEPA 
media filter at least once a month, clean or 
replace as needed. 

NOTE: Be sure to clean or replace your 
filters anytime the air flow indicator (select 
models only) begins to turn red.

3.

 

Replace the post-motor HEPA media filter 
every three to six months. 

NOTE: More frequent filter cleaning 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. 

Empty dirt container

The dirt container needs to be emptied when the 
dirt reaches the “Full” line on the container.

position.

3.

 

Grasp handle and pull the dirt container 
straight out to remove from the vacuum.

4.

 

Empty dirt into garbage container. 

NOTE: Emptying the dirt container after 
every use will help prevent over filling and 
ensure that the vacuum is ready to go the 
next time you clean.

 WARNING: 

To reduce the risk of electric 
shock, turn power switch OFF 
and disconnect polarized plug 
from electrical outlet before 
performing maintenance or 
troubleshooting checks.
