dirt container & filter / maintenance
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. Never over fill the dirt container,
remove dirt and clean the HEPA filter each time the dirt
container is emptied during prolonged usage or risk motor
damage.
Cleaning the Pre-Motor Filter
Underneath the dirt container is a pre-motor filter. If found
to be defective, please replace (Fig.6/4).
