V. Maintenance

1. Regular Maintenance

Dustbin

Regularly cleaning the dustbin helps maintain its cleanliness. If the dustbin becomes too full, debris may fall onto the floor during cleaning, and excessive waste may reduce the vacuum's suction efficiency.

Maintenance Frequency:

  • Recommended cleaning: once per week
  • If wet debris is collected, rinse and dry immediately

Maintenance Steps:

  1. Open the top cover of the vacuum and remove the dustbin by lifting it from the designated finger slot.
  2. Hold the dustbin over a trash can, press the release button, and empty the waste.
  3. Close the dustbin lid and reinsert it into the vacuum’s dustbin slot.
  4. Close the vacuum's top cover to complete cleaning.

Filter

Regularly cleaning the filter helps maintain the vacuum’s suction power and ensures effective cleaning. If the filter is clogged with dust, suction power will decrease, affecting cleaning performance.

Maintenance Frequency:

  • Recommended cleaning: once every two weeks
  • Recommended replacement: every 3-6 months

Maintenance Steps:

  1. Unlock the filter cover by pulling it upward.
  2. Hold the filter handle and remove it from the dustbin.
  3. Tap the filter lightly to remove dust, then rinse with clean water.
  4. After washing, allow the filter to air dry completely.
    (Note: Do not use sharp tools, cleaning hooks, or brushes to clean the filter.)
  5. Reinstall the dry filter and close the filter cover.

(Note: The filter must air dry for 24 hours before use. It is recommended to alternate between two filters.)

Side Brushes
