OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning the HEPA Dust Cup Filter

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.

1. To remove the HEPA filter, unlock and remove the dust cup container cover by turning the cover to the right until the arrow on the cover aligns with the arrow on the handle and then lifting the cover off.
