OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT, Please Note : The Rinseable “TapClean” HEPA Dust Cup Filter will stop most of the tiniest dust particles and airborne allergens from re-entering the air you breathe. In fact, it stops 99.97% of all particles as small as 0.3 microns - many times smaller than a human hair!!! Because of this incredible filtration performance, the HEPA Dust Cup Filter will quickly accumulate many fine dust particles inside the white filter folds that are difficult to see but which will eventually block or reduce your suction power - if not cleaned properly. Clean the HEPA Filter after each use as described in this section.

1.To remove the HEPA

filter, remove the dust cup from the unit.

2.To remove the dust cup cover, hold the cover by the handle, turn counter clockwise and lift the cover off. (Fig. 9)

3.Remove the HEPA Rinseable "Tap Clean" filter from the dust cup. (Fig. 10)

4.Remove the filter ring that is around the HEPA filter. Vigorously "TapClean" the HEPA

dust cup filter on a hard surface until no more dust is observed falling out. (Fig. 11) The HEPA filter may also be washed by running it under the tap allowing the water

to run on the dirty side. (Fig. 12) We recommend washing it once a month or when suction appears reduced. Always allow 24 hours for air drying before replacing into the vacuum.

Please Note: The white material in the HEPA filter will discolor over time - This is NORMAL and will NOT affect the performance of the filter.

Warning: Always empty the dust cup and clean the HEPA dust cup filter before each use and during prolonged usage. Never over fill the dust cup - remove dirt and clean the HEPA dust cup filter each time the dust cup is emptied during prolonged usage or risk motor damage.

Cleaning the HEPA Filter Frame
