Clean exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water  
only. Do not use a strong detergent or other cleaner - this may  
damage the finish. Always unplug the SCOOBY-DOO Groovy  
Vac from the electrical outlet before cleaning the surface.  
5.  
After heavy usage, you may clean the Filter by gently rinsing it  
in a bowl of water and mild dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly  
under running water and make certain it is completely dry  
before replacing it. You may also purchase replacement Filters.

Use only BISSELL Filters in the SCOOBY-DOO Groovy  
Vac. If the Filter becomes damaged or becomes too  
dirty to wash, you may purchase new filters by calling
