Safety first: Remove the battery before cleaning filters.

• Empty dust bin: Detach the bin and empty all debris. Tap gently to dislodge compacted dust.
• Clean pre-filter: Remove the mesh or fabric pre-filter. Tap it against a trash can to remove dust. If washable, rinse under cold water and allow to dry completely.
• Clean or replace main filter: Remove the HEPA/foam filter. Tap off dust or wash if the manual allows. Replace if torn, deformed, or heavily stained.
• Check air paths: Inspect the bin inlet, cyclonic cone, wand, and nozzle for blockages and clear them.
• Reset indicator: Some models require holding a button (e.g., filter reset) for a few seconds after cleaning. Follow your manual to clear the FLT warning.
