Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Ensure the vacuum is disconnected from the power source.
- Open the filter compartment or dust bin assembly according to your vacuum's user manual.
- Remove the old filters and dispose of them if they are heavily soiled.
- Insert the new HEPA filter into the designated slot, followed by the foam filters in their respective positions.

Compatibility

Care
To prolong the life of these filters, remove them once a month and tap them gently against a waste bin to dislodge loose dust. If they are heavily soiled, rinse them under cool, running water. Crucial: Allow the filters to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting them. Never use a hairdryer or place them on a radiator to speed up drying, as high heat can warp the plastic or foam structures.
