A
CAUTION
Do not operate the cleaner without the secondary filter. Be sure the filter is properly
installed. Failure to do so could result in motor failure.
CLEANING SECONDARY FOAM FILTER
A secondary foam filter protects the motor
from dirt. When installing a new dust bag,
check the filter. Accumulated dirt in the
dust compartment will collect on this filter
and may restrict motor performance.
When the filter becomes dirty, pull it
from the bottom of the dust
compartment and clean by rinsing it
in water. When dry slide the filter back
into place. Insert the secondary foam
filter with a ruler or something flat. It
should be fully inserted under the plastic
rib projections all the way to the rear
compartment wall.
REPLACING EXHAUST FILTER
Exhaust Fitter
(Electrostatic)
Oust Cover
The exhaust filter is located Inside the dust cover.
The purpose of this filter is to remove dust and
dirt from the recirculated air. When installing
a new dust bag, check the filter. When the
filter becomes dirty, pull the filter and frame
from the bottom of the dust cover by pulling
it straight up. Replace the filter. DO NOT
CLEAN WITH WATER. Place the new filter
in the frame with the four slots in the filter
aligning with the four tabs on the frame.
Place the frame and filter back into the
dust cover making sure the rough
side is facing up.
This filter cannot be cleaned and should be replaced at least once each year if the cleaner
is used at least one hour each week.
