Pre-motor filter and Antibacterial foam filter maintenance
Rotate the pre-motor filter cover anticlockwise (14a). The pre-motor filter and the
Antibacterial foam filter are attached under the filter cover (14b). Using the tab provided
remove the foam filter and wash under hand warm water.
Remove pre-motor filter from the cover and rinse the inner side of the filter under hand
warm water (14c). Do not scrub and do not use detergents. Allow to air dry thoroughly
before refitting. Refit pre-motor filter ensuring the thicker seal end is pressed into filter
cover.
REMEMBER – Clean these filters after every 5 dust container empties, or if there is a drop in
performance.

Pre-motor screen maintenance
Remove the pre-motor filter cover with filters attached as above. Lift out the pre-motor
screen using the integral handle (15a). Use the dusting brush to remove any dust from the
screen (15b). Refit the screen. We recommend cleaning the screen after every 5 bin empties,
or if there is a drop in performance.

Hepa Anti Odour filter
Hoover PERFORMER PET is fitted with a HEPA Anti Odour exhaust filter to retain finest dust
particles and unpleasant odours. After 12 months you may wish to replace the exhaust filter
with a new one. This part can be ordered through the GIAS Service Division at 01204 - 556111
or purchased on www.hoover.co.uk at Hoover Accessory Shop (Part no. 04365127 T84).
The HEPA Anti Odour filter requires little or no maintenance and should only need checking
if there is a drop in performance.
To access the HEPA Anti Odour filter, remove the dust container from the cleaner (16a).
Press the filter release button to release the exhaust filter (16b and 16c).
Shake the filter to remove fine dust particles. Do not wash or scrub the filter.

After clearing any blockage in the hose, refit both hose connectors ensuring the hose
supports are located on the inner side of the hose.
18 Clearing a blockage at the cleaner base
Remove the flexible hose as previously described. Unclip the cover at the base of the machine
(18a). Check the lower hose for any blockages (18b). The lower hose can be easily removed for
