HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. Keep
the vacuum cleaner at top operating efficiency. Clean the filter and empty the dust
container regularly. If the dust container is visibly full before finished cleaning, empty
as needed.
A damaged or extremely soiled motor filter should be replaced. Pull back on the rubber
gasket to remove the used motor filter from the filter support frame. Keep the frame and
discard the used motor filter. Put the new filter over the frame and secure the lip of the
frame into the rubber gasket. Additional filters are available from The Eureka Company,
Bloomington, Illinois 61701 .
Order GENUINE EUREKA motor filter part no. 53820.
Press the dust container latch, located
below the electrical cord, and rotate the
dust container off the unit. Grasp the
motor filter and pull up to remove.
Shake dust container contents into a
suitable container. Brush dust and dirt
from motor filter. If further cleaning is
desired, hand launder the washable
motor filter in warm water using a mild
detergent. Air dry thoroughly before
returning it to the dust container.
Replace motor filter into top of dust
container so rim of filter is seated
completely inside the container. Place the
dust container tab into the slot in the unit.
Pivot the sections together until the dust
container latch locks the container in
place.

Dust Container and Motor Filter
Empty the dust container and clean the motor filter regularly to keep the vacuum
cleaner operating efficiently. Make sure the filter is securely attached in place before
vacuuming. Failure to replace the filter will allow dust to enter the motor section which
will damage the vacuum cleaner. Some fine particles can restrict airflow very quickly
and will decrease performance even before the dust container appears full. For that
reason, when vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or
similar fine substances, the dust container and filter may need cleaning more often.
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before emptying the
dust container and cleaning the motor filter.
