Replacement Guidance

Inspect the post filter according to your vacuum's owner's manual. A loaded or damaged filter may affect airflow and filtration performance.

Consider replacing the filter if:

• It has accumulated substantial dust or debris.

• The filter media is damaged or deformed.

• The filter no longer fits securely in its compartment.

• It has reached the replacement interval recommended for your vacuum.

Before replacing the filter:

1. Turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner.

2. Locate the post-filter compartment using your owner's manual.

3. Open the cover and carefully remove the old filter.

4. Install the correct replacement in the designated position.

5. Secure the cover before operating the vacuum.

Do not wash or reuse the filter unless the manufacturer's instructions specifically permit it. If airflow remains poor after replacement, check the vacuum bag and hose for blockages and consult the model's troubleshooting instructions.
