Please Note: The HEPA Dust Cup Filter may be washed. We recommend that it

should be washed once a month or when suction appears reduced.

To wash your HEPA Dust Cup Filter, hold filter cartridge by frame flange and rinse

under a tap until all observable dirt has been removed. Some discoloration of the

HEPA filter material may occur, this is normal and will not affect the filter’s

performance. When finished, shake off excess water. Do NOT wash in dishwasher.

It is important that when you wash the HEPA dust cup filter, you allow it to dry

COMPLETELY before using again. We recommend 24 hours to air dry. DO NOT

DRY IN DRYER.
Important: This motor is equipped with a motor protective thermostat. If for some

reason the vacuum cleaner should overheat, the thermostat will automatically turn

the unit off. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum cleaner from the wall outlet and

turn off switch. Allow the unit to cool. To restart, re-plug into wall outlet and turn

switch back on.
