Emptying and cleaning the dirt container
Tap!
Firmly tap clean the HEPA filter until no more dust is observed falling out. The HEPA
filter may be washed by running it under the tap. We recommend washing it once a
month or when suction appears reduced. Always allow to air dry for 24 hours before
replacing into the vacuum.
PLEASE NOTE:
The white material in the HEPA filter will discolour over time - This
is NORMAL and will NOT affec tthe performance of the filter.
WARNING:
Always empty the dirt container and clean the HEPA filter before each
use and during prolonged usage.
