General questions about maintenance:

How do I can the filters and how often?

Clean filters regularly for optimal performance. Between washings, tap filters clean over the trash to remove excess dust and other particles.
Pre-motor foam and felt filter: Under normal usage, rinse and let air-dry completely (for at least 24 hours). Recommended every 3 months.
Make sure the unit is unplugged. Remove the dust cup and pull the flat foam filter out from the motor housing. Then remove the felt filter using the small ribbon pull tab. Rinse filters thoroughly in lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Squeeze out excess water and let air-dry completely for at least 24 hours before replacing. Do not place filters in the dishwasher or washing machine. To replace in the vacuum once dry, put the felt filter in first, then add the foam filter.
Post-motor filter: Under normal usage, rinse and air-dry once every 12 months or as needed.
Make sure the unit is unplugged. Remove the filter cover from the front of the vacuum by pulling the latch from under the motor housing. Remove the HEPA filter cartridge and rinse under lukewarm water, dirty side down, until the water runs clear. Allow the filter to air-dry completely for 24 hours. Once the HEPA filter is dry, place it back into the vacuum, then replace the cover by lining up the tabs on one side and swinging the door securely closed until it clicks into place.
