Vacuum produces an unpleasant or musty odor during use.

Safety first: Turn OFF and remove the battery before cleaning.

• Empty and wash bin: Remove the dust container and wash it with mild soap and water if the manual allows. Dry thoroughly.
• Clean or replace filters: Wash washable filters with lukewarm water and let dry completely. Replace non-washable filters if they smell strongly.
• Avoid wet debris: Do not vacuum liquids or damp materials, as they promote odor and bacterial growth.
• Ventilate: After cleaning, leave the vacuum open (bin and filters removed) in a dry, ventilated area to air out before reassembly.
