To clean the filters, first ensure the vacuum is unplugged. Remove the dustbin and take out the filters. Rinse them under lukewarm water without using soap. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting them into the vacuum.
If your vacuum loses suction, check for blockages in the hose or brush roll. Ensure the dustbin is not full and the filters are clean. Inspect the belt for wear and replace if necessary.
It is recommended to replace the HEPA filter every 6 months to maintain optimal performance. However, if you notice a reduction in suction or persistent odors, it may need replacement sooner.
The Kenmore DU5080 Vacuum comes with a crevice tool, a dusting brush, and a pet handi-mate tool. The crevice tool is ideal for tight spaces, the dusting brush for delicate surfaces, and the pet handi-mate tool for removing pet hair from upholstery.
Regularly check the brush roll for tangled hair or thread. Use scissors to carefully cut away any debris. Remove the brush roll occasionally to clean thoroughly and ensure it spins freely.
