This should be done once six months or when suction appears to be reduced obviously.

Important:

Please note that there is a safety switch inside the vacuum to prevent the unit from being run with high vacuum rate. If the vacuum is too high, the safety switch will be turned on. In this case, it can minish the vacuum rate and protect the motor from being broken.

Note:

The suction hole must be open, free of any obstructions at all times. Otherwise, the motor will overheat and could become damaged.

Important:

All filters should be checked regularly for signs of damage, preferably after each cleaning task. The filters must be replaced immediately if they become damaged. Always disconnect the vacuum from the electrical outlet when checking the filters.
