Removing & Cleaning the HEPA
Dust Cup Filter
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning : After each Use - Always
remove the HEPA Filter from the Dust
Cup, then vigorously “TapClean” HEPA
Filter until no more dust can be removed.
Important: When "TapCleaning" the
HEPA filter, hold the HEPA filter from the
top rim and tap ONLY the bottom rim

the HEPA filter.
Top Rim
Bottom Rim
Warning: Always unplug the unit from
electrical outlet before opening the Dust
Cup (container).
1. Push the Power On/Off button to
"Off" and disconnect the power
cord from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the flexible hose.
3. Push the dust cup lock button
located just underneath the dust
cup and remove the dust cup.
IMPORTANT, Please Note : The
“TapClean” HEPA Dust Cup Filter will stop
most of the tiniest dust particles 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. Clean the
HEPA Filter as described in this section,
then reconnect unit and proceed with
vacuuming.)
4. Hold dust cup over a waste basket
and depress the dust cup "open"
button to open the dust cup.
Dispose of the dust inside.
Note: If dust is tightly packed and
difficult to remove, tap the side of
the dust cup lightly against the
side of the garbage can.
5. To remove the HEPA dust cup
filter from the dust cup, open the
latch and lift the HEPA filter. See
illustration below.
6. 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. Please note
that there is a filter
brush included in the
tool tray that you can
use to clean the pleats
of the HEPA filter. See
illustrations at right.
