A:
Here are the instructions from my booklet:
- Remove dirt cup from vacuum.
- Pull up on dirt cup latch to open (which is just below the "Hoover" word on my vacuum that is near the top of the dirt cup).
- Pull on the fabric tab on filter to remove Rinsable Filter.
- Hold filter under running water for two minutes to remove dirt and debris. Squeeze filter twice while underwater. Remove from water and squeeze a final time to remove excess water.
- Allow filter to dry completely before replacing. Dry filter on edge so air circulates on both sides of filter. This may take up to 24 hours.
- Replace filter, tab side out.
- Close lid securely by pushing until it clicks,
- Replace dirt cap.
