Cleaning the Filter
Check the filters regularly. It is
recommended to clean the filter
after every use for best performance.
If you encounter reduced vacuum
performance, check:
• Dust capacity in dust canister and
empty if full.
• Filter for dust and debris and clean
if required. Any clogging in the filter
will reduce the efficiency of your
handheld vacuum.
To clean the filter
1. To clean the filter, with the dust
canister removed, hold the
handheld vacuum by the handle
with one hand and remove the
filter cover from the motor housing
by twisting clockwise and gently
pulling outwards (see Fig.11).
2. Separate the filter from the filter
cover by pulling one away from
the other (see. Fig.12).

3. Lightly tap the sides of the
filter cover and filter to dislodge
any debris.
4. Reattach the filter to the
filter cover ensuring it fits flush
into place.
5. Reattach the filter cover with filter
in place to the handheld vacuum
twisting it counter-clockwise.
6. Reattach the dust canister to the
motor housing.
NOTE:
Do not use any detergents
or boiling water to wash the
filter. Do not wash the filter in a
dishwasher or washing machine.
Cleaning the Turbo Brush
Regularly check the turbo brush to
remove hair and dirt that may have
accumulated.
To clean the turbo brush, remove the
hair, cotton and the likes from the
turbo brush by cutting across hair with
a pair of scissors, gently pulling free.
