OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fig. 17
WARNING:
After each Use -
Always remove the Filter
Assembly, then vigorously “
TapClean
”
the HEPA filter and clean debris screen
until no more dust can be removed.
Important, Please Note:
The
Rinseable “TapClean” HEPA dust cup
filter will stop most of the tiniest dust
particles from re-entering the air you
breathe. Because of this incredible
filtration performance, the HEPA dust
cup filter will quickly accumulate many
fine dust particles inside the white filter
folds that are difficult to see but which
will eventually block or reduce your
suction power - if not cleaned properly.
Clean the HEPA filter after each use as
described in this section.

5. The HEPA filter may
also be washed by
running it under
the tap allowing
the water to run on
the dirty side.
(Fig. 18) We
recommend
washing it once a
month or when
suction appears reduced. Always
allow 24 hours for air drying before
replacing into the vacuum.
Please Note
: The white material in the
HEPA filter will discolor over time - This is
NORMAL and will NOT affect the
performance of the filter.
