This foam filter is in the bottom of the housing directly under the filter bag. The after filter should be washed out after every sixth bag change.

If an object becomes caught in the rotating agitator brush,the brush motor will automatically shut off. This automatic shut-off protects your cleaner from overheating and enables you to remove the caught object.
