How to Fix / Troubleshooting

  • Empty and wash bin: Remove the dust bin and wash it with mild soap and water if the manual allows. Dry completely before reinstalling.
  • Clean or replace filters: Wash washable filters with cold water and let them dry for at least 24 hours. Replace heavily soiled filters with new OKP filter sets.
  • Wipe external surfaces: Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the outside of the bin and floor head. Do not allow water into the motor vents.
  • Prevent recurrence: Empty the bin after each use, especially when picking up pet hair or food debris.
