It is important to clean your filters regulary. Failure to do so will lead to loss of suction in the
appliance. Follow these simple steps to keep your vacuum working efficiently.
If the sponge filter is heavily soiled it can be rinsed with warm water. You will need to allow
at least 24 hours drying time before using the appliance again.
If the vacuum cleaner has lost suction or is not picking up small items,
this indicates that the filters need cleaning. This needs to be done on a
regular basis to keep your vacuum cleaner in tip-top condition.
