Lift the cover off and grasp the filter handle. Pull the filter out of the housing.

There is also a filter to clean inside the dust container, start by emptying the dust out into your dust bin by opening the flap at the bottom. Press the release button:

To remove the dust box lid, line the indicator arrow with the 'open' padlock symbol by twisting the lid. With the arrow pointing to the open padlock the lid can be lifted off the dust box.

Use a cloth to clean the filter and auger. If any debris builds up around the auger it will cause it to jam and become blocked setting off the 'blocked' alarm.

At Hoover we recommend that you keep your filters clean and then replace them once per year, new ones can be purchased from the spares section of the website.
