Vacuum produces a musty or unpleasant odor during use.

Safety first: Turn off the vacuum and remove the battery. Avoid using harsh chemicals on plastic parts.

• Empty and wash bin: Remove the dustbin and wash it with mild soap and water. Dry completely before reinstalling.
• Clean cyclone: If removable, rinse the cyclone assembly with water (if allowed by the manual) and let it dry fully.
• Wash or replace filters: Clean washable filters thoroughly and allow them to dry for 24 hours. Replace non-washable filters with new ones.
• Avoid wet debris: Do not vacuum liquids or very damp material. This can cause odors and damage.
