7. Cleaning the Pre- and
Post-motor filters
NOTE: The pre-motor filter should be cleaned
frequently and the post-motor filter should be cleaned
every 9 - 12 months.
Vax recommends frequently
cleaning the filters to optimise the performance of the
vacuum cleaner.
NOTE: Do not use any detergents or boiling water to
wash the filters.
Cleaning the Pre-motor Filter
Remove the dirt container as previously directed.
Remove the foam filter frame from the back of the dirt
container and separate the foam filter from the frame
(Fig.7/1).
Remove the foam filter and fabric filter cassette from the
main body of the unit (Fig.7/2)
The filters may then be tapped against the side of a
rubbish bin and may then be rinsed in luke warm water
(max 40°C). Allow to air dry for at least 24 hours before
replacing back in the unit.
Cleaning the HEPA Post Motor Filter
NOTE: This is located at the rear of the vacuum
cleaner.
Release the post-motor cover by pressing in the catch at
the top of the cover. The filter can be removed by pulling
on the tab. The filter may be tapped against the side of a
rubbish bin to remove dust particles (Fig.7/4).
The HEPA post-motor filter may be rinsed in luke warm
water (max 40°C). Allow to air dry for at least 24 hours
before replacing (Fig.7/5).
