Vacuum emits an unpleasant or musty odor during use

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

• Step 1 – Thoroughly clean dust bin: Empty and wipe the bin with a slightly damp cloth, then dry completely.
• Step 2 – Clean or replace filters: Wash washable filters and allow to dry 24 hours. Replace HEPA filters if they smell or are heavily soiled.
• Step 3 – Avoid vacuuming wet material: Only vacuum dry debris to prevent mold growth.

Persistent odor after cleaning may require replacing the cyclone assembly or filters.
