dust particles are removed. After approximately
6 months the HEPA filter should be replaced.
This period is dependant upon the frequency
of use and type of dirt being subjected to the
vacuum.
The HEPA filter can also be hand washed in
warm water.
NOTE: Do not use any detergents or boiling water
to wash the filter, do not wash the filter in a
dishwasher or washing machine.
It is advised to let the filter dry completely for at
least a minimum of 24 hours before use.
NOTE: Do not dry in a tumble dryer, microwave,
oven or near a naked flame. The filter and filter case
must be completely dry before replacing into the
vacuum. Failure to allow the filter to completely dry
may result in damage to the vacuum motor.
NOTE: A second hepa filter is supplied for
convenience, ideal for when a used filter is being
cleaned.
