3. Remove the HEPA filter from the
debris screen, then
remove the filter ring
from the HEPA
filter. Vigorously
“TapClean” the
HEPA filter on a hard
surface until no more dust is
observed falling out.
4. To clean the debris
screen, we
recommend that
you rinse it under
lukewarm running
water to remove
the dirt that
accumulates on
it. Make sure that the debris screen
is completely dry before replacing
into the dust cup.
5. To re-assemble the filter assembly,
insert the HEPA filter into the debris
screen and then insert the debris
screen into the filter cover. Replace
the filter assembly into the dust cup.
Wash
once a
month or
when
suction
appears
reduced
Fig. A
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
"TapCleaned”
after each use
and suction
does not return
to 100%, then
we suggest that
the HEPA filter
be “TapCleaned”
vigorously until
no more dust
can be removed,
then rinsed under the faucet and
allowed to air 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.
Warning : After each Use -
Always remove the Filter
Assembly, then vigorously
“TapClean” HEPA filter and clean the
filter ring and the debris screen until
no more dust can be removed.
IMPORTANT, Please Note : The
“TapClean” HEPA Filter will stop most of
the tiniest dust particles from re-entering
the air you breathe. In fact it stops
99.97% of all particles as small as 0.3
microns - many times smaller than a
human hair!!! Because of this incredible
filtration performance, the HEPA Filter
will quickly accumulate, inside the white
filter folds, many fine dust particles that
are difficult to see but which will
eventually block or reduce your suction
power - if not cleaned properly.
1. To remove the filter assembly from
the dust cup, hold the dust cup from
the handle in one hand and with the
other hand, turn counter clockwise
and pull out the filter cover. (Fig. 14)

2. To separate the filter assembly, hold
