OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
Cleaning & Changing the HEPA-
Type Filter
CAUTION
:
The suction hole must be
open, free of any obstructions at all
times. Otherwise, the motor will
overheat and could become damaged.
Warning:
Always empty the dust cup
container and clean the HEPA-Type
filter before each use and during
prolonged usage.
Never over fill the dust cup (container) -
remove dirt and clean the HEPA-Type
filter when dirt in dust cup is at or below
the "MAX" level during prolonged usage
or risk motor damage.
If you wash the HEPA-Type filter,
make sure that it is completely air
dry before inserting back in the
vacuum.
Please Note:
The HEPA-Type filter is
washable. It should, however, be
replaced every three (3) to six (6)
months, depending on usage to ensure
peak performance of your vacuum.
PLEASE NOTE
:
The white pleated
filter material in the HEPA-Type dust
cup filter will discolor over time -This
is NORMAL and will NOT affect the
performance of the filter. If the HEPA-
Type dust cup
filter is properly
"TapCleaned”
after each use
and suction
does not return
to 100%, then
we suggest that
the HEPA-Type
filter be
“TapCleaned”
vigorously until no
more dust can be removed, then
rinsed under the faucet and allowed to
air dry for 24 hours before refitting into
the vacuum. (Fig. A) Wash once a
month or when suction appears
reduced.
Re-Installing Dust Cup (Container)
1. Ensure that small air intake vent
on the dust cup is aligned with the
opening on the main unit. (Fig. 12)
2. Slide the dust cup container into
place and lower the dust cup
retainer handle.
3. Push retainer handle until you hear
