THE HEPA FILTER
The RCC-231 cyclone vacuum cleaner functions without a dust bag. The cyclone
technology directs the dusty intake air into the dust receiver tank using air turbulence.
The washable long-life filter (HEPA filter) in the dust receiver tank and an exhaust air filter
combine to ensure that the air is clean before it is expelled.
Attention:
The device must only be used with the filter and exhaust air filter in place.
Emptying the dust receiver tank:
The dust receiver tank is transparent, which means that you are always able to see how full
it is. You should always empty the dust receiver tank by the time its contents reach the
MAX mark.
Always unplug the appliance before emptying the dust receiver tank!
You can now remove both the tank and the cleaning system from their anchored position
thru pushing the button which located on the dust receiver tank. Now simply carry the dust
receiver tank to the dustbin.
Hold the dust receiver tank over your dustbin and push the interlock device back.
This action will open the bottom of the dust receiver tank, which will release its contents
into the bin.
Note if the dust receiver tank is very full, it is recommended that a bag be pulled over the
tank so that the tank can be emptied into the bag first.
This avoids excessive dust being released.
Once the tank is empty it is recommended that the HEPA filter be cleaned if
necessary.
■
Carefully turn the HEPA filter in an anti-clockwise direction, until it disengages. Now remove
the HEPA filter.
■
Clean the HEPA filter thoroughly. Never clean the HEPA filter using soap or any other
cleaning fluid. This would destroy the filter!
■
If the HEPA filter is heavily soiled, and this is leading to a reduction in suction power it is
recommended that the filter be replaced with a new one.
Once cleaning is complete, replace the filter by simply reversing the process outlined
above.
■
Place the HEPA filter back in the dust receiver tank and turn it carefully in a clockwise
direction, until it locks in place.
Now place the reassembled dust receiver tank back in the RCC-231 cyclone vacuum
cleaner ensuring that it clicks into place. Your RCC-231 cyclone cleaner is now ready for
use.
