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.

Cleaning the Filter Ring

1. Around the HEPA filter

there is a filter ring.

This is washable in

lukewarm water.

(Fig. 14) To remove

the filter ring, slide it

off the HEPA filter.

2. We recommend

washing the filter ring

when you are

washing your HEPA

filter. Always allow the

filter ring to air dry for

24 hours before replacing onto

the HEPA filter. Never run the vacuum

without all the filters in place.

Note: This is a washable filter, but we

recommend replacing it every three (3)

months.
