dirt particles. It is located in the slide out
tray underneath the dirt container. If the filter
becomes dirty, pull out the tray, lift out the
foam filter pad and clean it.

in cold water with mild detergent. Rinse well
and air dry thoroughly before replacing.

The post-motor HEPA media filter assists in
the filtration process to return clean air to
the room. It is located behind the door on the
side of the vacuum. If the filter becomes dirty,

NOTE: The post-motor filter is a
white, pleated HEPA media filter. This
filter is not washable and must be
replaced when it becomes dirty.
Check rotating floor brush and drive belt
You should check your vacuum cleaner’s rotating floor
brush and drive belt regularly for wear or damage. You
should also clean the brush and brush ends of strings,
hair and carpet fibers. This type of debris can wrap
around the brush and hamper its ability to effectively
clean your carpet. Also remove any debris that has
accumulated under the brush cover.
