Vacuum produces a musty or dusty smell when running.

Safety first: Remove the battery before cleaning. Do not wash non‑washable filters.

Steps to try:

• Empty and wash bin: Remove the bin and wash it with mild detergent and warm water. Dry thoroughly before refitting.
• Clean filters: Tap out dust and, if allowed, wash filters under cold water. Let them dry completely for at least 24 hours.
• Clean cyclone exterior: Wipe the cyclone assembly with a dry or slightly damp cloth (avoid getting water inside if not specified as washable).
• Avoid damp pickup: Do not vacuum wet or damp materials, as they can cause odours and damage the vacuum.
