AUTOMATIC FILTER CLEANING SYSTEM
This vacuum has a highly effective filter cleaning system which minimizes filter
clogging. Every 30 seconds, one of the two filters gets automatically cleaned. The
cleaning process alternates between the filters and continues through the life of the
unit.
NOTE: It is normal to hear a clicking sound during this process.
NOTE: After many hours of operation the automatic filter cleaning system may not be
effective. When this happens the filters will need to be cleaned or replaced. Refer to
Filter under Maintenance.
