Replacing the Filters

Changing & Cleaning the

Pre-Motor Filter

Your vacuum is equipped with a filtration

system to reduce dust and pollen in your

home as you clean. The pre-motor filter

is located inside the vacuum cleaner

body behind the dust bag. Check when

changing the dust bag and replace when

dirty.

This is a rinseable filter but should be

replaced every six (6) months. Never

operate the vacuum without ALL the

filters in place

To remove, open the dust bag

compartment cover and pull the pre-

motor assembly out of the vacuum.

Remove the filter from the filter

assembly. Rinse in lukewarm water and

let it air dry completely for 24 hours. Do

not use a washing machine to rinse the

filter. Do not use a hair dryer to dry it. Air

dry only. When the pre-motor filter is

completely dry, insert it in the filter

assembly and replace it into the vacuum.
