Post-motor Filter
NOTE: Located at the rear of the vacuum cleaner is
a post-motor filter which can be removed and washed.
1. Turn off the vacuum cleaner and unplug from the
electrical outlet.
2. Push down on the latch to release the
post-motor filter cover (Fig.6/10).
NOTE: Remove the post-motor filter and wash by
running it under the tap in lukewarm (max 40ºC)
water. Vax recommends washing the filter every
6-9 months. Always allow the filter to air dry for
24 hours before replacing back into the cleaner.
Pre-motor Filter

pre-motor filter which can be removed and washed.
1. Turn off the vacuum cleaner and unplug from the
electrical outlet.
2. Remove the dirt container and lift out the pre-
motor filter (Fig.6/11). The pre-motor filter can
also be washed in lukewarm (max 40ºC) water.
Vax recommends washing the filter every
6-9 months. Always allow the filter to air dry for
24 hours before replacing back into the cleaner.
