OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSOPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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, unlock and remove
the dust cup container
cover by turning the cover
to the right until the
arrow on the cover
aligns with the arrow
on the handle and then
lifting the cover off.
2. Remove the HEPA
Rinseable "Tap Clean"
filter from the dust cup. (Fig. 9)
3. 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. 10)
Please note
that there is a
filter brush
included with
your vacuum. It is located
underneath the dust
cup cover. You can
use the brush to clean
the pleats of the HEPA
filter. (Fig. 11)
Alternatively, 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 drying before replacing
into the vacuum.
Fig. 9
Fig. 10

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
