CLEANING OR REPLACING THE CANISTER FILTER
After a period of time depending on the frequency of use, the canister filter may
become clogged and affect airflow as well the overall efficiency of the unit.
Should you notice a drop in the efficiency or performance of the unit, it may be
a sign that it is time to clean the filter. If so, proceed as follows:
1.
Turn off and unplug the machine.
2.
For basic cleaning, simply rotate the handle on the top of the canister sever-
al rotations. The internal flap will rub against the corrugated inner filter and
shake free any built-up dust from inside the filter.

For a more thorough cleaning, after rotating the handle, unclip the belt
clamps and remove the canister from the machine and place it on the
ground upside down.
4.
Vacuum the inside of the canister to remove any remaining dust from inside.
