OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MESURES DE PRÉCAUTION
Warning: Always empty
the dust cup container and
clean the HEPA filter, filter ring and
Debris Screen before each use and
during prolonged usage.
Never over fill the dust cup container
- remove dirt and clean the HEPA
filter, filter ring and debris screen
when dirt in dust cup is at or below
the "MAX" level or during prolonged
usage because you could risk
damaging the motor.
If you wash the Hepa filter and
filter ring, make sure that they
have completely air dried for 24
hours before inserting back into
the vacuum.
Please Note: The HEPA Filter is
washable. It should, however, be
replaced every three (3) to six (6)
months to ensure peak performance
of your vacuum.
The exhaust filter and filter ring are
also rinseable but they should be air
dried for 24 hours before replacing
into the vacuum. They should
however be replaced every three (3)
months to ensure peak performance
of your vacuum.
Important: Make sure that ALL filters
are completely dry before re-installing
back in the vacuum.
Changing & Cleaning the Exhaust

The exhaust filter is a rinseable filter but
should be replaced every three (3)
months.
• To remove the exhaust filter cover,
depress the filter cover lock and pull
the filter cover out. Remove the filter.

Rinse the exhaust filter in lukewarm
water and air dry the filter completely
for 24 hours. Do not use a washing
machine to rinse the filter. Do not use
a hair dryer to dry it. Air dry only.
Never operate the vacuum without the
exhaust filter in place.
• When the filter is dry, replace into
the exhaust filter cover and replace
on the vacuum.
• A severely soiled or clogged filter
should be thoroughly rinsed with
fresh tepid water. A mild detergent
can be used if required.
Cleaning the Filter Ring
1. Around the HEPA filter
there is a filter ring.
This is washable in
lukewarm water.
(Fig. 16) 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 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.
