Fig. A
Wash once
a month or
when suction
appears
reduced.
Warning: Allow 24
hours for drying before
replacing in unit.
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 reduced.

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 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.
Motor Thermostat
IMPORTANT: This motor is equipped with a motor protective thermostat.
If for some reason the vacuum cleaner should overheat,
the thermostat will automatically turn the unit OFF.
Should this occur, unplug the vacuum cleaner from wall
outlet or turn off switch. Allow the unit to cool. To restart,
re-plug into wall outlet or turn switch back on.
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)
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)
