IMPORTANT

, Please Note : The

“TapClean” Rinseable HEPA Dust Cup

Filter & Debris Screen will stop most of

the tiniest dust particles 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 Dust Cup 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. Clean the

HEPA Filter and Debris Screen after

each use as described in this section.
