Removing & Cleaning the Lifetime Washable
HEPA Filter
Under normal use, the HEPA filter should be tapped
cleaned and rinsed once every three (3) years or as
needed depending on usage. This is located underneath
the filter housing.
To remove the HEPA filter:
Remove the filter housing.
Hold the HEPA filter by the centre opening and lift it up
(Fig.5/17).
Vigorously tap clean the HEPA filter on a hard surface to
remove any residual dust that might be on the HEPA filter
(Fig.5/18).
You can wash the HEPA filter by running it under the tap
allowing the water to run on the dirty side (Fig.5/19).
Always allow 24 hours for air drying before replacing into
the vacuum.
Replace the HEPA filter back into the vacuum after it has
air dried for 24 hours.
NOTE: The white material in the HEPA filter will
discolour over time - This is NORMAL and will NOT
affect the performance of the filter.
