How To Operate Your Hand
Vacuum
Fig. 16
CAUTION : The suction hole must be
open, free of any obstructions at all
times. Otherwise, the motor will overheat
and could become damaged.
6. Hold the filter from the frame and
vigorously
“TapClean” the
HEPA Dust Cup
Filter on a hard
surface until no more
dust is observed
falling out from
between the pleats of
the filter. (Fig. 16) Ensure that you do
not damage the pleated filter material
during cleaning. Also note that
discoloration occurs during use. This is
normal and does NOT affect the filter’s
performance.
7. To replace the HEPA filter, grasp the
HEPA filter in one hand and the
HEPA filter frame flange in the other
and pull apart. Fit the new HEPA filter
into the frame flange.
8. Reassemble the debris screen to the
HEPA filter cartridge and replace into
dust cup (container). Ensure that the
filter assembly is completely seated
inside the dust cup (container).
9. Attach the dust cup (container) to the
hand vacuum.
Important: Do NOT use the HEPA filter
cartridge without the debris screen in
place.
Warning: It is very important to ensure
that the fine dust which adheres to the
filter media is completely removed. This
fine dust powder is left on the filter will
severely reduce the suction performance
of your vacuum. TapClean every time the
dust cup is emptied.
PLEASE NOTE: The white pleated
filter material in the HEPA Dust Cup
Filter will discolor over time -This is
NORMAL and will NOT affect the
performance of the filter. If the HEPA
Dust Cup 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
dry for 24 hours before refitting into
the vacuum. (Fig. A) Wash once a
month or when suction appears
reduced.

automatically turn the unit off. Should
this occur:
• Push the On/Off button once.
• Disconnect the plug from the
power source.
• Check the source of overheating
problem. (i.e. clogged hose or
filter)
• If clogged hose or filter is found,
unclog the hose and replace the
filters.
• Wait at least 45 minutes before
attempting to reuse the vacuum.
• After unit has cooled down for
45 minutes, plug in the cleaner
and push the On/Off button. The
vacuum should start again.
• If the vacuum still does not start,
contact customer service at

powerful unit. Make sure that you hold
it firmly, otherwise it can slip out of your
hand and cause injury.

performance from the air driven turbo
brush:
1. Empty the dust cup frequently.
2. “TapClean” the HEPA dust cup filter
