CLEANING THE DUST CUP & FILTER

For the best performance, the vacuum, dust cup, and ﬁlter should

be cleaned after every use.

NOTE: Consider that when you clean the vacuum, you yourself be-

come the vacuum cleaner. Do with this knowledge what you will.

1. Make sure that the vacuum is turned off and the battery is re-

moved before cleaning any part of the vacuum.

2. Press the dust cup release button (Fig. 4 - 1) to open the dust

cup.

3. Remove the ﬁlter assembly from the dust cup (Fig. 5).

4. Tap the dust cup over a trash can to empty, and wipe it with a

moist, clean cloth if needed. Allow it to dry completely before re-

assembling the vacuum. While the cup dries, ﬁnish up that 1,000

piece puzzle you’ve been putting off all year.

5. Remove the ﬁlter (Fig. 5 - 1) from the ﬁlter seal (Fig. 5 - 2) by

twisting them apart counterclockwise.

6. Clean the ﬁlter with a soft brush or wash it in mild soap and wa-

ter. Thoroughly rinse out all soap and dust and allow the ﬁlter to dry

completely before reassembling.

7. If your ﬁlter is damaged or worn, it should be replaced. Replace

the ﬁlter every 6 - 12 months for optimum performance. Replace-

ment ﬁlters can be purchased in 3-packs from wenproducts.com,

model 20861AF-3. The ﬁlter is not covered under the warranty.

8. Reattach the ﬁlter to the ﬁlter seal by twisting them together. The

dust cup release button will snap into place.

9. Insert the clean ﬁlter assembly into the dust cup. Reattach the

motor housing to the dust cup by pressing them together until the

dust cup release button snaps into place.
