Care & Maintenance Maintenance Precautions Cleaning the Vacuum Cleaner Always use genuine parts to keep your warranty from being voided. If the filter, extension rod, or high torque brush bar becomes clogged, the vacuum cleaner will stop working shortly. To restore its functionality, clean the clogged component. If the vacuum cleaner will not be used for an extended period, fully charge it and disconnect it from the power then store it in a cool, low-humidity environment away from direct sunlight. To avoid over-discharging the battery, recharge the vacuum cleaner at least once every three months. Wipe the vacuum cleaner with a soft, dry cloth. 10
