Cleaning the Filter

•Remove the filter from the dust bowl by pulling it straight out (figure G).

•To restore optimum airflow tap filter end cap against a hard surface to loosen debris

(figure H).

Important Filter Cleaning Notes:

•DO NOT BRUSH.

•DO NOT clean filter media with abrasive materials.

•DO NOT scrub to clean between pleats.

•DO NOT spray water or high pressure air from the inside to the outside of filter. This

will permanently damage the filter’s ability to stop dust.

•To replace the filter, place it back into the bowl aligning the triangle on the filter with the triangle on the bowl as shown in figure I. Important: For best vacuum results, make sure filter is fully seated in bowl and is properly aligned.

•	To replace the bowl, place it back onto the handle and	J
	click firmly into position as shown in figure J.
	Important: For best vacuum results, empty bowl
	after every use. Maximum dust collection will only
	be obtained with a clean filter and an empty dust
	bowl. If dust begins to fall back out of the product
	after it is switched off, this indicates that the bowl is
	full and requires emptying.
• Never immerse the product in water. A damp cloth and		K
	soapy water should be used to clean the exterior
	(figure K). Always ensure the product is completely
	dry before re-use or storing.
