OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning & Replacing the Shake-
Out Bag
Note : Clean the shake-out bag out-doors
when changing the HEPA dust bag.
Optimum performance is achieved by
using the HEPA dust bag with the shake-
out bag decreasing the need for washing
the shake-out bag.
Cleaning the Shake-Out Bag when Used
with the HEPA Dust Bag:
1. Remove the shake-out bag, holding the
handle at the bottom of the bag, shake
outdoors vigorously over a garbage
receptacle until there is no more dust.
2. Inspect shake-out bag regularly for
tears or damage. Replace shake-out
bags if damage or tears are present.
Cleaning the Shake-Out Bag when Used
Alone:
It is recommended that the shake-out bag
be washed after it has been used several
times without the HEPA dust bag in place.
1. Remove the shake-out bag, empty
contents into a trash can, and shake
vigorously outdoors until there is no
more dust.
Cleaning the HEPA Pre-Motor Filter
Important, Please Note:
The HEPA
pre-motor filter will stop most of the tiniest
dust particles and airborne allergens 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 pre-motor filter
will accumulate many fine dust particles
that are difficult to see. Be assured that
the HEPA pre-motor filter is doing the job.
Clean the HEPA pre-motor filter after
each use as described in this section.
1. Remove the shake-out bag from the
canister. The HEPA pre-motor filter
is located underneath the shake-out
bag. To remove the HEPA pre-motor
filter, lift the filter from the sides of the
HEPA filter.
2. Vigorously “TapClean” the HEPA
pre-motor filter on a hard surface to
remove any residual dust that might
still be on the HEPA pre-motor filter.
3. You can wash the HEPA pre-motor
filter by running it under the tap and
allowing the water to run on the dirty
side at least once a month or when
suction appears to be decreased.
Wash once a month
or when suction
appears reduced
Warning: Allow 24 hours
for drying before replacing
in unit.
