The main maintenance required is to regularly clean the filters. This involves cleaning the dust bowl and filters. The filters are reusable and should be cleaned regularly by removing the dust bowl and filter assembly, emptying the dust bowl, and washing the filters in warm, soapy water. The bowl can also be washed if needed. Ensure both the dust bowl and filters are dry before refitting them. Filters should be replaced every 6 to 9 months or if worn or damaged.
