Emptying the Dust Cup Container
and Cleaning / Changing the Non-
Woven Pre-Filter, HEPA Filter &
Debris Screen
Warning: Always unplug the
unit from electrical outlet before
opening the dust cup (container).
Important: Do NOT use the vacuum
without the HEPA filter in place.
Warning: After each Use - Always
remove the non-woven pre-filter,
HEPA filter and the dust cup cover
with the debris screen, then
vigorously “TapClean” HEPA filter
and clean debris screen and non-
woven pre-filter until no more dust
can be removed.
IMPORTANT
, Please Note : The
“TapClean” HEPA filter will stop most
microscopic dust particles and airborne
allergens from re-entering the air you
breathe. Because of this incredible
filtration performance, the HEPA 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.
4. Hold the HEPA filter
by the edges and vigorously
“TapClean” the HEPA filter
dirty side down on a hard,
flat surface until no more
dust is observed falling out
from between the pleats of
the filter. (Fig. 12) We recommend
washing the HEPA filter once a month
or when suction appears to be
reduced. Let the HEPA filter air dry
completely for 24 hours.
5. Rinse the non-woven pre-filter and
let air dry completely for 24 hours.
6. Insert the non-woven pre-filter.
7. Reinstall the HEPA filter in the
vacuum.
8. To separate the debris screen from
the dust cup, hold the dust cup in
one hand and turn the dust cup
cover counter clockwise and pull
apart. To clean the debris
screen, we recommend that
you rinse it under
lukewarm running
water to remove the
dirt that accumulates
on it, but always allow 24
hours to air dry before
inserting back into the vacuum.
3. The HEPA filter is
located underneath
the dust cup
container. (Fig. 10)
Remove the non-woven pre-filter.
(Fig. 11) Remove the HEPA filter, hold
the edges and pull it out slowly.
2. To empty the dust
cup container,

door release button
that is on the back
side of the dust cup
container. (Fig. 9)

PLEASE NOTE: The white pleated
filter material in the HEPA filter will
discolor over time -This is NORMAL
and will NOT affect the performance
of the filter. If the HEPA 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 air dry for 24 hours before
refitting into the vacuum. (Fig. A)
This should be done once a month
or when suction appears to be
reduced .
Wash
