Vacuum produces an unpleasant musty or dusty odor when running.

Safety first: Remove the battery before cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals on filters.

• Empty and wash dustbin: Remove the bin and wash with mild soap and water if allowed. Dry completely.
• Clean or replace filters: Wash foam filters with lukewarm water and let dry 24 hours. Replace HEPA filters if they smell bad or are heavily soiled.
• Check for dampness: Ensure no part of the vacuum is stored damp; moisture can cause odors.
• Regular maintenance: Clean filters every 1–3 months depending on usage and environment.
