Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery before cleaning filters.

• Empty dust bin: Remove and empty the dust container. Tap it gently to dislodge stuck dust.
• Clean pre-motor filter: Remove the foam or fabric filter. Tap off dust outdoors. If washable, rinse with lukewarm water only and let it dry completely (24 hours).
• Clean HEPA/post-motor filter: If your Electrolux model has a rear HEPA filter, remove it and tap gently. Some are washable; follow the manual. Allow it to dry fully before reinstalling.
• Check cyclone and air paths: Inspect the cyclone assembly and air inlet for compacted dust. Clean with a soft brush.
• Reset filter indicator: Some models require holding a button (e.g., power or mode) for several seconds to reset the filter alert. Refer to the user manual.
