3. Remove the HEPA
filter from the debris
screen. Remove the
filter ring that is
around the HEPA
filter. Then
vigorously “TapClean” the HEPA
Filter on a hard surface until no
more dust is observed falling out.
4. To clean the debris
screen, we
recommend that
you rinse it under
lukewarm running
water to remove
the dirt that
accumulates
on it, but always
allow 24 hours to air dry before
inserting back into the vacuum.
5. To re-assemble the filter
assembly, insert the filter ring over
the HEPA filter and then insert the
HEPA filter assembly into the
debris screen. Insert the debris
screen into the filter cover.
Replace the filter assembly into
the dust cup.
Cleaning the HEPA Filter and the
Debris Screen
WARNING
:
After each Use -
Always remove the Filter
Assembly, then vigorously “
TapClean
”
HEPA Filter and clean Debris Screen
until no more dust can be removed.
IMPORTANT, Please Note:
The
“TapClean” HEPA Filter will stop most of
the tiniest dust particles and airborne
allergens from re-entering the air you
breathe. Because of this incredible
filtration performance, the HEPA Filter
will quickly accumulate, inside the white
filter folds, many fine dust particles that
are difficult to see but which will
eventually block or reduce your suction
power - if not cleaned properly.
1. To remove the filter assembly from
the dust cup, hold the dust cup from
the handle in one hand and with the
other hand, turn counter clockwise
and pull out the filter cover. (Fig. 14)
Fig. 14
2. To separate the filter assembly, hold
the bottom of the debris screen and
pull the filter cover out. (Fig. 15)
PLEASE NOTE
: The white pleated
filter material in the HEPA Filter will
discolor over time -This is NORMAL
and will NOT affect the performance
of the filter. If the HEPA Filter
is properly
"TapCleaned”
after each use
and suction
does not return
to 100%, then
we suggest that
the HEPA 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)
This should be done once a month
or when suction appears to be
reduced

Changing & Cleaning the Exhaust
Filter
The exhaust filter is a rinseable filter but
should be replaced every three (3)
months.
• To remove the exhaust filter cover,
depress the filter cover lock and pull
the filter cover out. Remove the filter.
(Fig. 17)
• Rinse the exhaust filter in lukewarm
water and air dry the filter completely
for 24 hours. Do not use a washing
machine to rinse the filter. Do not use
a hair dryer to dry it. Air dry only.
Never operate the vacuum without the
exhaust filter in place.
• When the filter is dry, replace into
the exhaust filter cover and replace
on the vacuum.
• A severely soiled or clogged filter
should be thoroughly rinsed with fresh
tepid water. A mild detergent can be
used if required.
Warning
:
Always empty the
dust cup container and clean the
HEPA filter and Debris Screen before
each use and during prolonged usage.
Never over fill the dust cup container -
remove dirt and clean the HEPA filter,
filter ring and debris screen when dirt in
dust cup is at or below the "MAX" level
or during prolonged usage because
you could risk damaging the motor.
If you wash the Hepa filter and filter
ring, make sure that they have
completely air dried for 24 hours
before inserting back into the
vacuum.
Please Note:
The HEPA Filter is
washable. It should, however, be
replaced every three (3) to six (6)
months to ensure peak performance of
your vacuum.
The exhaust filter and filter ring are
also rinseable but they should be air
dried for 24 hours before replacing into
the vacuum. They should however be
replaced every three (3) months to
ensure peak performance of your
vacuum.
Important:
Make sure that
ALL
filters
are completely dry before re-installing
back in the vacuum.
