Cleaning the HEPA Pre-Motor

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!

many fine dust particles that are difficult to see. Be assured that the
HEPA
pre-motor filter
is doing the job. Clean the
HEPA
pre-motor filter after each use as described in this
section.

2. Vigorously ”TapClean” 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 when it appears dirty or suction is reduced.
