Filter Maintenance | How to Videos | PowerForce® Compact

You will need to regularly clean the filter on your vacuum. We’ll show you how.

  • First, make sure the vacuum is unplugged
  • Remove the dirt container by pushing the Dirt Container Release Button on top of the tank handle
  • The filter is located inside the dirt container lid. Open the lid by lifting the release latch
  • Grasp the filter and pull up to remove
  • The filter can be washed by hand in warm water and a mild detergent may be used. Rinse well, then allow to dry completely before returning to the dirt container lid
  • Once completely dry, place the filter back in the dirt container lid. The white mesh side should be put in first with the black foam side still visible
