Cleaning and replacing the filter

dust bin.
Once the dust bin is
removed the cyclone

The dust bin and cyclone
separator can now be

Remove the filter from the
cyclone separator. Tap the
filter over a bin to remove
any dirt/debris or replace
the filter.
Remove the sponge filter
from the filter cover and
wash the sponge filter
under running water, if
required (40 degrees
max). Allow the filter to
dry for 24hrs or until fully
dry before reinstalling.
CAUTION: Ensure that the vacuum is switched off before performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks. For
continuous best performance, the filter should be tapped over a bin every 4-6 uses, to remove dirt and debris, and
replaced every 6-9 months, depending upon use. Do not use your vacuum cleaner without the filter in place.
To reinstall the dust bin
ensure that the plastic tab
on the cyclone separator
slots into the groove on
the dust bin, as indicated
