Use the manual

The exact filter, brush and tank-care instructions vary by model.

Do not open sealed electrical systems

Internal electrical or battery repairs are service work.

Dry washable parts completely as directed

Reassembling wet components where the manual requires dry parts can damage the appliance.

Track consumables

Model numbers and replacement dates can simplify future maintenance.

General consumer information only. Do not mix cleaning chemicals or improvise electrical, chimney, high-access, pressurized, drain or other safety-critical work. Follow Canadian product labels, recall notices and the exact manufacturer’s instructions.
