ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical
cord before routine maintenance. Never
operate the vacuum cleaner without the
top and bottom filters in place.
NOTE: When vacuuming carpet fresheners or
cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar
fine substances, the top and bottom filters
will require more frequent maintenance.
Removing the Dust Cup:
Grasp dust cup with both
hands and pull out.
Remove lid, and shake free
of debris. Empty dust cup into trash.
Remove dust cup by sliding
dust cup lever from right to
left.
R e p l a c e d u s t c u p l i d ,
reposition in cleaner body
and secure by moving lever
from left to right.
Remove top filter cover by
grasping right edge and
pivoting to the left.
Top Filter Maintenance:
This new Eureka Upright uses a cyclone system as a
primary filter and a secondary or top mounted filter that
has been moved outside of the dirt cup. This makes
emptying the dirt cup much easier and less messy. It is
normal for this filter to trap fine particles, pet hair, and
carpet fuzz. It should be cleaned periodically depending
on vacuuming conditions. For optimum performance
replace it every 12 months.
Remove filter frame from top
filter cover.
Remove foam from filter
frame. Shake filter frame and
foam filter to remove excess
dust.
If necessary, the filter frame
and foam filter can be rinsed
in luke warm water and
air dried. NOTE: The filter
frame, foam and cover are
not dishwasher safe.
When dry, replace foam filter
into filter frame. Replace filter frame into top
filter cover. Replace top filter
cover by pivoting back onto
cleaner from left to right.
WARNING: Always check foam filter and frame
are correctly installed in the cover
before using vacuum.
