Cleaning & Changing the HEPA Dust Cup Filter
WARNING: Always unplug the unit from electrical outlet before opening the Dust Cup (container).
IMPORTANT: Do NOT use the HEPA filter cartridge without the debris screen in place.
WARNING: After each Use - Always remove the filter debris screen from the HEPA dust cup filter, then vigorously “TapClean” HEPA filter until no more dust can be removed.
IMPORTANT, Please Note : The “TapClean” HEPA dust cup filter & debris screen will stop most of the tiniest dust particles and airborne allergens from re- entering the air you breathe. Because of this incredible filtration performance, the HEPA dust cup 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. Clean the HEPA filter and debris screen after each use as described in this section.
1.To remove the dust cup (container), hold the unit in the upright position to prevent the dust from falling out of the dust cup. (Fig. 6)

8.Replace the debris screen on the HEPA dust cup filter and reinstall filter assembly in the vacuum. (Not shown)
PLEASE NOTE: The white pleated filter material in the HEPA dust cup filter will discolor over time
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 dry for 24 hours before refitting into the vacuum. (Fig. A) This should be done once a month or when suction appears reduced.
Motor Thermostat
IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with a motor protective thermostat. If for some reason the vacuum cleaner should overheat, the thermostat will automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur:
•Push the On/Off button once.
•Disconnect the plug from the power source.
•Check the source of overheating problem. (i.e. clogged hose or filter)
•If clogged hose or filter is found, unclog the hose and replace the filters.
•Wait at least 45 minutes before attempting to reuse the vacuum.
•After unit has cooled down for
45 minutes, plug in the cleaner and push the On/Off button. The vacuum should start again.
•If the vacuum still does not start, contact customer service at
