Maintenance & Cleaning

• Avoid Over-Saturation: Don't over-wet the filter. Be sure to shake out any excess dirt before washing it.

How to Clean the Hoover Allergan Primary Filter

1. Remove the filter: Detach it from your vacuum as per the user manual instructions.
2. Wash: Rinse the filter under warm running water. Avoid using soap or chemicals. Do not scrub it with abrasive materials, as this can damage the filter.
3. Dry: After cleaning, let the filter dry completely (typically for 24 hours) before reinstalling it into the vacuum.
4. Reinstall: Once it’s dry, place it back in the vacuum to maintain efficient airflow and suction.

When to Replace the Filter

• Damage: If the filter becomes torn or heavily worn out after prolonged use, it should be replaced.
• Effectiveness: If the filter starts to lose its effectiveness in trapping dust or allergens, or if you notice a significant drop in suction, consider replacing it with a new one.
• Frequency: While the filter is washable and reusable, if it has been used for a long time, replacing it every 6-12 months is typically recommended to maintain peak performance.
