If your filter is less than 12 months old, it usually just needs a clean to ensure it is filtering correctly again.
Use an old, dry toothbrush to remove dust from the pleated side of the filter.
Wash the sponge piece in the filter in water to remove dirt. Rinse and squeeze the sponge until the water runs clear.
Leave the sponge to completely dry before reinserting. This can take up to 2 hours.
It is extremely important that the sponge is completely dry before you reinsert it into the vacuum cleaner. Placing the wet sponge in the vacuum cleaner is an electrical hazard.
