PLEASE NOTE: The white pleated
filter material in the HEPA Filter will
discolor over time -This is NORMAL
and will NOT affect the performance
of the filter. If the HEPA Filter
is properly
"Tap Cleaned”
after each use
and suction
does not return
to 100%, then
we suggest that
the HEPA filter
be “Tap Cleaned”
vigorously until
no more dust
can be removed,
then rinsed
under the faucet and allowed to dry
for 24 hours before refitting into the
vacuum. (Fig. A) This should be
done once a month or when
suction appears to be reduced .
Warning: Allow 24
hours for drying before
replacing in unit.
CAUTION : The suction hole must
be open, free of any obstructions at
all times. Otherwise, the motor will
overheat and could become
