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.
(Fig. 15)
• 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.
Warning: Always empty the dust
cup container and clean the HEPA
filter, filter ring and Debris Screen
before each use and during
prolonged usage.
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.
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
