NB: Please ensure to clean all the filers after each use. Using the machine with
damp filters could damage the motor so, please ensure that only completely
dry filters are placed back into the vacuum cleaner after they have been
washed. Wet or damp filters attract dust which restricts airflow. This causes
the motor to overheat, which in turn shortens the lifespan of the vacuum
cleaner.

of string or debris should be removed to ensure that the product does not get
damaged.
