Suggested Pile Height Setting:

You may need to raise the height of the vacuum to make some jobs easier, such as scatter rugs and longer pile carpets. Suggested settings are:

HIGH: shag carpet, long pile, plush scatter rugs, tools

MED: medium to long pile

LOW: short to medium pile, bare floors

FLOOR: very low pile, bare floors

Place unit in "HIGH" setting when using attachments to prevent possible floor damage. Always set the Carpet to Floor selector to “Floor” setting when using the accessories. (Fig. 5)

Attention: Special care is required when vacuuming certain types of carpet or floor covering. Always check the carpet or floor covering manufacturer's recommended cleaning instructions before vacuuming.

Removing & Emptying Dust Cup

Cleaning the HEPA Dust Cup Filter

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.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

1.Before replacing the HEPA filter in the HEPA Filter frame, you can (should) rinse the frame in lukewarm water by just running it under the tap to remove any dust that is adhering to the frame. (Fig. 13) Do NOT place in dishwasher.

2.Make sure that the filter frame is completely dry before replacing into the dust cup. Always air dry for 24 hours.

Cleaning the Secondary Filter

1.Underneath the HEPA filter there is a secondary filter.

This is washable in lukewarm water. (Fig. 14) We recommend washing it when you are washing your HEPA filter. Always allow the secondary filter to air dry for 24 hours before replacing into the

vacuum. Never run
