Cleaning
the
HEPA
Pre-Motor
Filter
Important Please Note:
The HEPA pre-motor 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
pre-
motor
filter
will
accumulate
many
fine
dust
particles
that
are
difficult
to
see.
Be
assured
that
the
HEPA
pre-motor
filter
is
doing
the
job.
Clean
or
replace
the
HEPA
pre-motor
filter
from
time
to
time,
when
it
is
visibly
dirty
or
if
you
notice
reduced
suction,
as
described
in
this
section.
1.
Remove
the
shake-out
bag
from
the
canister.
The
HEPA
pre-motor
filter
is
located
underneath
the
shake-out
bag.
Pull
up
near
the
tabs
on
the
sides
of
the
HEPA
filter.
This
is
a
press
fit
system.
2.
Vigorously
“Tap
Clean”
the
HEPA
pre-motor
filter
on
a
hard
surface
to
remove
any
residual
dust
that
might
still
be
on
the
HEPA
pre-motor
filter.
3.
You
can
wash
the
HEPA
pre-motor
filter
by
running
it
under
the
tap
and
allowing

on
the
dirty
side
