will discolor over time -This is

NORMAL and will NOT affect the

performance of the filter. If the HEPA-

cleaned

after each use

and suction

to 100%, then

we suggest that

the HEPA-TYPE

then rinsed under the faucet and

allowed to air dry for 24 hours before

replacing into the vacuum. (Fig. A)

hours for drying before
replacing in unit.

Always empty the dust cup and clean the HEPA-Type dust cup

filter before each use and during prolonged usage. Never over fill the dust cup -

remove dirt and clean the HEPA-Type dust cup filter during prolonged usage or risk

motor damage. Make sure that the debris screen and the HEPA-TYPE filter

have completely air dried before replacing into the vacuum.
