following maintenance steps must be performed:
Empty the Dirt Container when the dirt reaches the
“Full” line on the side.
Check the Inner and Outer Circular Filters, and the
Pre-Motor Filter at least once a month and clean or
replace as needed.
Replace the HEPA Post-Motor Filter every three to
six months.
Note: More frequent filter cleaning or
replacing may be necessary if you are
vacuuming new carpet, fine dust, or have
allergy concerns. Follow the instructions on
the following pages to perform these simple
maintenance steps.
