The HEPA cartridge filter and pre-filter
are essentially self-shedding.
Tapping the side of the dirt cup as
described in “How to empty dirt cup”
should sufficiently remove dust and fine
particles from the HEPA cartridge filter
and pre-filter.
The filter assembly can also be
removed for additional cleaning.
Slide filter assembly down into cup until
a light snap is felt. Gently pull up on
assembly to ensure that it is seated
properly in the cup. Ensure that no part
of pre-filter screen extends above top
edge of dirt cup.

(Fig. 3-4).
Note:
If dirt cup lid does not close all
the way, ensure that filter assembly is
pushed down all the way. Turn knob on
lid until lid closes (Fig. 3-3).
