unit.
2. To remove the dust cup
cover, hold the cover by
the handle, turn counter
clockwise and lift the
cover off. (Fig. 9)

Rinseable "Tap Clean"
filter from the dust cup.
(Fig. 10)
4. Vigorously "TapClean"
the HEPA dust cup
filter on a hard
surface until no
more dust is
observed falling
out. (Fig. 11)
The HEPA filter may
also be washed by
running it under the
tap allowing the water
to run on the dirty side.
(Fig. 12) We
recommend washing
it once a month
or when suction appears
reduced. Always allow 24
hours for air drying before
replacing into the vacuum.

Cleaning the Secondary Filter
1. Underneath the HEPA
filter there is a
secondary filter.
This is washable in
lukewarm water.
(Fig. 14) We
recommend washing
it when you are
washing your HEPA filter.
Always allow the secondary
filter to air dry for 24 hours
before replacing into the
vacuum. Never run
the vacuum without
the secondary filter in place.

Please Note
: The white material in the
HEPA filter will discolor over time - This is
NORMAL and will NOT affect the
performance of the filter.
IMPORTANT, Please Note :
The Rinseable
“TapClean” HEPA Dust Cup Filter 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 many fine dust particles inside
the white filter folds that are difficult to see
but which will eventually block or reduce
your suction power - if not cleaned properly.
Clean the HEPA Filter after each use as
described in this section.
Cleaning the HEPA Dust Cup Filter
Warning
: Always empty the dust cup
and clean the HEPA dust cup filter
before each use and during prolonged
usage. Never over fill the dust cup -
remove dirt and clean the HEPA dust
cup filter each time the dust cup is
emptied during prolonged usage or risk
motor damage.
