Important : The suction hole must be
open, free of any obstructions at all
times. Otherwise, the motor will overheat
and could become damaged.
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) This should be done once a
month or when suction appears to
be reduced.
7. Insert the dust cup cover and
HEPA filter into the dust cup.
8. Re-install dust cup and cover into
vacuum. Close cover and re-attach
hose.
IMPORTANT: Please note that there is
a safety switch inside the vacuum
where the dust cup is inserted to
prevent the unit from being run without
a dust cup in place. If the dust cup has
not engaged this safety switch, the
vacuum will NOT operate. Therefore,
ensure that the dust cup is inserted
firmly into the vacuum when
assembling.
