6. Release the fl exible hose from the air intake duct. A Small

amount of ash may be generated so be carefull (see 6

following).

7. Verify ash is cold! Allow to cool further if needed, then dump

debris. Ash is a great garden supplement!

Every 3 to 5 uses, clean HEPA fi lter while outside and away

from valuables. Screw off the fi lter wing nut and HEPA seal

plate (not shown). Take the fi lter out for cleaning (see step

below) or change. Follow the three steps below for taking off

the fi lter.

9. Cleaning fi lter - to limit dust place HEPA fi lter inside a plastic

bag (not included). To clean fi lter, tap gently against a hard

surface. Empty plastic bag and inspect fi lter. Dust within

the fi lter pleats may require gentle fl exing of the fi lter by

squeezing the fi lter’s rubber seals so as to make the fi lter oval

instead of round. Tap fi lter while “Out of round” to get deeply

set dust out of pleats.

Follow steps below for re-assembly of the fi lter :

IMPORTANT

- with fi lter installed and lid in place turn

vacuum on at a dry outside location to test fi lter seal. Look

for dust at the exhaust port. A small amount is normal after

cleaning fi lter. Vacuum up a small amount of ash while still

outside to give fi nal assurance of a good seal and to verify

fi lter integrity. Replace fi lter if dust passes though at this point.
