Clean out the filters and damper from time to time.
Clogged filters and damper may result in poor suction
performance.
Regularly clean out the accumulated dust of filters and
damper.
Occasionally wash the powder filter, prefilter and
damper in water, rinse and dry thoroughly in the shade
before use. Never wash them in a washing machine.

recommended to have some spares for them.

up both dry dusts and wet dusts. Make sure that
the water level sensors activate properly to pre-
vent the powder filter breakage.
