HOW TO CLEAN AND REPLACE THE Vortex & HEPA FILTERS
There are two filters in this unit - the intake Self-Cleaning Vortex filter, and the exhaust HEPA filter. When the
filters are too dirty, and the suction power is reduced, you must clean or replace the filters.
TO CLEAN AND REPLACE THE VORTEX INLET PRE-MOTOR FILTER:
1. Open the top Vortex chamber cover by rotating the cover counterclockwise. (Fig. 12)
2. Pull the Self-Cleaning Vortex filter from the chamber by rotating it counterclockwise to unlock it, and then
pull it up and out of the unit. (Fig. 12)
3. Clean the filter using warm water, then allow the filter to air dry completely. Once the filter has completely
air dried, then place the filter back into the Vortex chamber. Or, if the filter is too dirty, or in an unusable
condition, replace the filter with a new one.
NOTE: The Prolux Self-Cleaning Vortex filter only needs to be cleaned when the entire surface of the
filter becomes dirty. Due to its highly efficient design the Self-Cleaning Vortex filter is three times more
efficient than standard filters and will have the same amount of airflow whether it’s dirty or clean. The
entire surface of the filter will have to be covered in debris before the performance of the vacuum is
affected, and the filter needs to be cleaned.
