When to Change the Filters
At minimum, it’s recommended to replace  
the filters once a year or after using 12  
vacuum bags, whichever comes first.
If someone in your household is  
sensitive to airborne allergens, it is  
recommended to change the filters  
after every six vacuum bags. 
Replacing the HEPA Media or  
Foam Filter
 
Depending on the model, your vacuum is 
equipped with either a HEPA media filter or  
a foam filter.
NOTE: Unplug the vacuum cleaner from the 
electrical outlet before changing the filters.
• Remove the bag compartment cover.
•  Locate the filter on the front of the vacuum.
•   Remove the used filter and throw away.  
Filters cannot be washed and reused.
•  Press a new filter into place on the front  
of the vacuum.
•  Replace the bag compartment cover.
