CLEANING THE INTERNAL FILTER
When emptying the debris pail, it is a good idea to also clear
any dust and dirt that may have accumulated on the internal
filter media. To do this, simply open the direct door, reach in
and tap the top of the internal filter (
Fig. 12
). This will release
any loose debris into the pail. You may empty the pail again at
this point but it is not necessary as any amounts of dirt and
dust will be minimal. Close the door.
CLEANING THE SECONDARY FILTER
A secondary safety filter, located at the top of the vacuum
chamber, provides additional protection to the motor. This filter
should be checked and cleaned if necessary, when emptying
the debris pail. Simply brush filter clean. If the filter is
excessively soiled, wash in a mild detergent and let it dry
completely
before reinstalling.
