You can wash some components, but the high-performance filter must not get wet.
Procedure:
- Press the dust collector release button and pull the assembly out.
- Open and empty the dust collector.
- Remove the pre-filter by pulling the hooks.
- Take out the foam filter and the high-performance filter.
Cleaning: You can wash the dust collector, pre-filter, and foam filter with water. Air-dry them thoroughly before reassembly. Do not wash the high-performance filter with water. Clean it only with a vacuum cleaner or a dry brush.
Reassembly: Put the dry filters and pre-filter back into the dust collector, then push the entire assembly back into the main unit.
Schedule: Clean all filters once a week. Replace both filters every two months for optimal suction power.
