month or when suction appears reduced .
To wash your HEPA dust cup filter, hold filter cartridge by frame flange, flange side up
and rinse under water. 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 it again. We recommend 24 hours to air dry. DO NOT
DRY IN DRYER. The HEPA Dust Cup Filter should be replaced every 3 months or
sooner depending on amount of use.
IMPORTANT
: The Pre-Motor Filter, Pre-Filter and Post Motor Filter should be
replaced every 6 months or sooner if required.
All filters should be checked regularly for signs of damage, preferable after each
cleaning task. The filters must be replaced immediately if they become damaged.
Always disconnect the vacuum from the electrical outlet when checking the filters.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For Household Use Only
Important:
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a motor protective thermostat. If for some
reason your vacuum overheats, the thermostat will automatically turn the unit off.
Should this occur, unplug the vacuum from the wall outlet and turn off the switch.
Empty the dust cup, "TapClean" the dust cup filter and check for blockages in hose
and suction inlet. Allow the unit to cool for a minimum of 45 minimum prior to restarting
the unit. To restart, re-plug the vacuum into the wall socket and turn the switch back
on.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.
