OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning & Changing the HEPA-
TYPE Dust Cup Filter
1. After you have emptied the dust from
the Dust Cup (container), separate
the debris screen from the HEPA-
Type filter cartridge by grasping the
debris screen with one hand and the
filter frame with the other and pull
apart. (Fig.13 )
4. Re-assemble the debris screen with
the secondary filter and the HEPA-
Type filter cartridge and replace into
dust cup (container). Ensure that the
filter assembly is completely seated
inside the dust cup (container).
5. Attach the dust cup (container) to the
vacuum.
Important: Do NOT use the HEPA-
Type filter cartridge without the debris
screen in place.
Warning: 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. Make sure that
the debris screen, secondary filter
and the HEPA-TYPE filter have
completely air dried before

replacing into the vacuum.
NOTE: If you wash the HEPA-TYPE
filter, make sure that it has
completely air dried for 24 hours
before inserting back in the
vacuum.
PLEASE NOTE: The white pleated
filter material in the HEPA-TYPE Filter
will discolor over time -This is
NORMAL and will NOT affect the
performance of the filter. If the HEPA-
TYPE Filter
is properly
Cleaned after
each use
and suction
does not return
to 100%, then
we suggest that
the HEPA-TYPE
Filter be cleaned
vigorously until
no more dust
can be removed,
then rinsed under the faucet and
allowed to air dry for 24 hours before
replacing into the vacuum. (Fig. A)
This should be done once a month
or when suction appears to be
reduced .

Cleaning the Secondary Filter
1. Below the HEPA-Type filter
there is a secondary filter.
This is washable in
lukewarm water. (Fig. 15)
We recommend washing it
when you are washing your
HEPA filter. Always allow the
secondary filter to air dry for
24 hours before replacing into
the vacuum. Never run the
vacuum without the secondary
filter in place.

not damage the

NOT affect the filter’s
performance.
