Cleaning the HEPA Pre-Motor Filter
Important – Please Note:
The HEPA pre-motor filter will stop
most dust particles and airborne allergens from re-entering the air
you breathe. The HEPA pre-motor filter will accumulate many fine
dust particles that are difficult to see. Be assured that the HEPA
pre-motor filter is doing the job. Clean or replace the HEPA pre-
motor filter from time to time, when it is visibly dirty or if you
notice reduced suction, as described in this section.
1. Remove the shake-out bag from the canister. The
HEPA
pre-motor filter is located underneath the shake-out bag.
Pull up near the tabs on the sides of the HEPA filter. This is
a press fit system.
2. Vigorously “Tap Clean” the HEPA pre-motor filter on a hard
surface to remove any residual dust that might still be on
the HEPA pre-motor filter.
3. You can wash the HEPA pre-motor filter by running it under
the tap and allowing the water to run on the dirty side at
least once a month or when suction appears to be
decreased.
