How to Fix / Troubleshooting

  • 2. Clean filters: Wash washable filters with lukewarm water only. Do not use soap unless Candy explicitly allows it. Dry fully (24 hours).
  • 3. Wipe external surfaces: Use a slightly damp cloth with mild detergent to wipe the nozzle and wand. Avoid soaking electrical parts.
  • 4. Avoid wet debris: Do not vacuum liquids or very damp materials. Allow any previously damp components to dry fully before reuse.
