Taking care of your machine

Let’s talk technical

Unclip the dirt container lid 

to open.

Remove the post-motor 

filter by unclipping it from 

the body of the vacuum.

IMPORTANT:

 

The exhaust filter is designed to offer long 

life with no maintenance. The filter should 

be checked periodically and when heavily 

discoloured it should be replaced. Please do 

not wash, scrub or brush the filter as this will 

damage the delicate filter media.
