Clean the filters

To keep your cleaner working efficiently the 2 filters will need to be regularly cleaned. The first filter is found at the front behind the cover as shown. This is the exhaust filter.

The other filter is found inside the dust box and is the hepa filter. This filter has been designed to catch microscopic dust particles so will need to be dusted out regularly and washed in warm water from time to time. We recommend that you replace this hepa filter at least once per year to ensure that you continue to get the maximum suction from the cleaner. Filters can be purchased by clicking on the spares section of this web site.

Start by removing and emptying the dust box. Press the release button at the top of the dust container and take to your dustbin or a bin bag. Press the catch at the top and the flap at the bottom will open releasing  the dust. Shake the container to remove all of the dust inside.

To remove the filter you will need to twist the lid off the dust box and lift it off. Twist the filter to remove it from the lid and separate from the mesh screen. Dust everything out but for best results wash in warm water and let dry thoroughly.
