Cleaning the HEPA Filter and the Debris Screen

Warning: After each Use - Always remove the Filter

Assembly, then vigorously

“TapClean” HEPA filter and clean the filter ring and the debris screen until no more dust can be removed.

IMPORTANT, Please Note : The “TapClean” HEPA Filter will stop most of the tiniest dust particles 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 Filter will quickly accumulate, inside the white filter folds, many fine dust particles that are difficult to see but which will eventually block or reduce your suction power - if not cleaned properly.

1.To remove the filter assembly from the dust cup, hold the dust cup from the handle in one hand and with the other hand, turn counter clockwise and pull out the filter cover. (Fig. 14)

2.To separate the filter assembly, hold the bottom of the debris screen and pull the filter cover out. Then remove the HEPA filter with the filter ring from the debris screen (Fig. 15)

3.Remove the HEPA filter from the debris screen, then

remove the filter ring from the HEPA filter. Vigorously “TapClean” the HEPA filter on a hard surface until no more dust is observed falling out.

4.To clean the debris screen, we recommend that you rinse it under lukewarm running water to remove the dirt that accumulates on

it. Make sure that the debris screen is completely dry before replacing into the dust cup.

5.To re-assemble the filter assembly, insert the HEPA filter into the debris screen and then insert the debris screen into the filter cover. Replace the filter assembly into the dust cup.

PLEASE NOTE: The white pleated filter material in the HEPA Filter will discolor over time -This is NORMAL and will NOT affect the performance of the filter. If the HEPA Filter

is properly "TapCleaned” after each use and suction does not return to 100%, then we suggest that the HEPA filter be “TapCleaned” vigorously until no more dust can be removed,

then rinsed under the faucet and allowed to air dry for 24 hours before refitting into the vacuum. (Fig. A)

This should be done once a month or when suction appears to be reduced.

WARNING: Always remove the power plug from the wall outlet before assembling or removing accessories.
