IMPORTANT:
Always unplug the unit from the
electrical outlet before opening the dirt container.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT use the vacuum without the
HEPA filter in place.
To remove the dirt container, press the dirt container
release button and lift away from the vacuum cleaner (Fig
6/1).
Cleaning the HEPA Filter
Remove the dirt container lid by grasping the dirt container
and turning anti-clockwise (Fig.6/2).
Empty all the dirt from the container.
Remove the filter by twisting anti-clockwise and
pulling out.
Firmly tap clean the HEPA filter until no more dust is
observed falling out (Fig.6/3).
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.
