OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS cont.

Cleaning & Changing the 
HEPA Dust Cup Filter

Warning:

Always unplug the unit from 

electrical outlet before opening the Dust 

Cup (container).

Important:

Do 

NOT

use the HEPA filter 

cartridge without the debris screen in 

place.

Warning

:

After each Use - Always 

remove the Filter Debris Screen from the 

HEPA  Dust Cup Filter, then vigorously 

TapClean

” HEPA Filter until no more 

dust can be removed.

IMPORTANT, Please Note : 

The 

“TapClean” HEPA Dust Cup Filter & 

Debris Screen will stop most of the tiniest 

dust particles and airborne allergens from 

re-entering the air you breathe. In fact it 

stops 99.97% of all particles as small as 

0.3 microns - many times smaller than a 

human hair!!! Because of this incredible 

filtration performance, the HEPA Dust Cup 

Filter will quickly accumulate, inside the 

white filter folds, many fine dust particles 

that are difficult to see but which will 

eventually block or reduce your suction 

power - if not cleaned properly. This can 

cause the motor to overheat and the re-

settable thermostat to trip. (Should this 

happen turn off the switch, unplug the unit 

and allow unit to cool down. Clean the 

HEPA Filter and Debris Screen as 

described in this section, then reconnect 

unit and proceed with vacuuming.)

Warning:

To reduce the risk of electric 

shock, the power cord must be 
disconnected before removing the dust 
cup, dust cup filter,changing the filters or 
performing maintenance/trouble shooting 
checks.

Air Driven Turbo Brush

The efficiency of your Air Driven 

Turbo Brush depends on the bristle 

brush rotating at high speed. Strong 

air suction is needed to accomplish 

this. In order to endure that 

maximum air suction is maintained, 

please read the following instructions:

Empty the Dust Cup frequently during 

use.

Always “

TapClean

” the HEPA dust 

cup filter and debris screen each time 

the dust cup is emptied.

Ensure that the rotating bristle brush 

is kept free of hair and string.

Inspect the turbine regularly to ensure 

that the air passage is free of dirt and   

debris.
