IMPORTANT, Please Note: The Rinseable
“TapClean” HEPA Dust Cup 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 Dust Cup Filter will quickly
accumulate many fine dust particles inside
the white filter folds that are difficult to see
but which will eventually block or reduce
your suction power - if not cleaned properly.
Clean the HEPA Filter after each use as
described in this section.
Cleaning the Filter Ring
1. Around the HEPA filter
there is a filter ring.
This is washable in
lukewarm water.
(Fig. 14) To remove
the filter ring, slide it
off the HEPA filter.
2. We recommend
washing the filter ring
when you are
washing your HEPA
filter. Always allow the
filter ring to air dry for
24 hours before replacing onto
the HEPA filter. Never run the vacuum
without all the filters in place.
Note: This is a washable filter, but we
recommend replacing it every three (3)
months.
