HEPA Filter
Your HEPA Filter should be cleaned often
to maintain peak Vac performance.
IMPORTANT:
It is very important that the
screen filter is installed prior to use.
NOTE:
The HEPA Filter is made of high
quality material designed to stop dust and
smaller particles. Handle the HEPA Filter
carefully when removing to clean or
installing a new HEPA Filter. Creases in
the HEPA Filter pleats may occur from
installation but creases will not affect the
performance of the HEPA Filter.
