What's the best cleaning schedule for my Timberk T-VCH-50 vacuum filter?

[McLeila]

To keep your Timberk T-VCH-50 Vertical Vacuum Cleaner performing at its best, pay close attention to its filter. While the manual suggests cleaning the filter at least annually, your usage frequency dictates the ideal schedule. For regular use, it's recommended to clean the filter after every 3 to 5 times you empty the dust collector. The cleaning process is straightforward. First, unplug the vacuum cleaner from the power outlet. Then, open the dust collector's bottom, and remove the main filter. Wash all plastic parts and the sponge of the filter under warm running water. Ensure that all components are completely dry before reassembling the filter. Consistent filter maintenance is key to maintaining your vacuum's efficiency and extending its lifespan.
