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 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 .
Changing & Cleaning the Post
IMPORTANT: If the suction opening in the unit or the hose is BLOCKED, switch off
the vacuum cleaner and remove the blocking substance before you
start the unit again.
1. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner
too close to heaters, radiators or
cigarette butts.
4. When pulling out the power plug
from the wall outlet, pull the plug not
the power cord.
5. Do not pick up anything that is
burning or smoking such as
cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
2. Before inserting the power plug into
the wall outlet, make sure that your
hands are dry.
6. Do not use without ALL filters in
place.
3. Before you start vacuuming, make
sure to remove large or sharp objects
that might damage the dust cup
debris screen.
