Abrasion Resistant
Cartridge Filter
Clean installed filter by simply tapping or
shaking the vacuum unit. To restore optimum
airflow, remove filter, tap end cap against
a hard surface to loosen debris. Additional
debris can be removed by rinsing outside
surface of filter with running water. Avoid
dampening inside of filter. Completely air dry
filter after washing.
Important:
DO NOT BRUSH. DO NOT
clean filter media with abrasive materials.
Do not scrub to clean between pleats. This
will permanently damage the filter's ability to
stop dust.
