Cleaning & Changing the
HEPA Dust Cup Filter
Warning: Always unplug the unit from
electrical outlet before opening the Dust
Cup (container).
1. To open the Dust Cup (container),
push the dust cup release button
and detach the Dust Cup
(container). (Fig. 1)
2. Pull out the HEPA Dust Cup Filter
or cloth dust cup filter. (Fig. 2)
Important: Do NOT use the HEPA filter
cartridge without the debris screen in
place.
Warning : After each Use - Always
remove the Filter Debris Screen from the
HEPA Dust Cup Filter, then vigorously
“TapClean” HEPA Filter until no more
dust can be removed.
IMPORTANT, Please Note : The
“TapClean” HEPA Dust Cup Filter &
Debris Screen 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 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. This can
cause the motor to overheat and the re-
settable thermostat to trip. (Should this
happen turn off the switch, unplug the unit
and allow unit to cool down. Clean the
HEPA Filter and Debris Screen as
described in this section, then reconnect
unit and proceed with vacuuming.)
3. Empty the dust from the Dust Cup
(container).
4. Separate the debris screen from the
HEPA filter cartridge by grasping the
debris screen with one hand and the
filter frame with the other and pull
apart. (fig. 3)

Debris
Screen HEPA Filter
CAUTION : The suction hole must be
open, free of any obstructions at all
times. Otherwise, the motor will overheat
and could become damaged.
5. 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. 4)

Debris
Screen
6. “TapClean” the Debris
Screen or rinse under
a faucet until clean.
(Fig. 5) Remember
that the Debris Screen
must be completely
dry before reinstalling
in the vacuum.
7. Replace the Debris Screen on the
HEPA Dust Cup Filter and reinstall
filter assembly in the vacuum. (not
shown)
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.
