How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals inside the motor area.
- Empty and wash bin: Remove the dust container and wash it with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Clean or replace filters: Wash washable filters and let them dry for at least 24 hours. Replace non‑washable filters if they smell bad.
- Check for damp storage: Ensure the vacuum is stored in a dry place. Do not store it with wet filters installed.
- Deodorize gently: After cleaning, you can vacuum a small amount of baking soda from a clean surface to help absorb odors, but avoid large quantities that could clog filters.
