Clean or replace them every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage.

Check and clean them every 1 to 3 months.

Post-Motor Filters

Capture particles that might escape from the vacuum's exhaust. 

Clean every 6 to 12 months.

Maintain your filters to ensure the vacuum's efficiency and address reduced suction power or unpleasant odors promptly.
