How often should I clean or replace the filter?

Clean the filter after each use or when you notice a decrease in suction. Replace the filter when it is damaged or excessively dirty. Refer to your manual for recommended filter types.

What should I do if the vacuum tips over?

Immediately switch off and unplug the vacuum. Check for any damage and ensure no liquids have entered the motor. Allow the vacuum to dry completely before reuse.

Can I use the vacuum to pick up hot liquids?

No, do not use the vacuum to pick up hot liquids or materials. Always allow them to cool down before cleaning.

How do I empty the collection tank?
