Dust bucket
To clean the dust bucket of your Philips Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, follow these simple steps:
- Turn off the appliance.

Brush
Your Philips Cordless Vacuum SpeedPro Max has a rotating brush located inside the nozzle. This brush can become clogged with hair and needs regular maintenance. Please follow the steps below and refer to the video for more information:

Water Tank
We recommend cleaning and drying your Aqua tank after each use. Here is how you can do this in a few simple steps:

- Empty the water tank by rotating it multiple times to ensure that the tank is completely empty (images 5–9).
