! HOW TO EMPTY THE DUST CONTAINER
You will want to empty the dirt in the dust container as soon as it has reached the “MAX” mark indicated on the
outside of the tank, or if the suction power has dropped. To empty the Dust Container, please follow the
instructions below.
1. Switch the vacuum cleaner to the “Off” position and disconnect the plug from the wall outlet.
2. Release the dust container by pressing down the release button. (Fig 10)
3. Pull the dust container away from the vacuum cleaner.
4. Hold the dust container low over your trash receptacle, to avoid dust falling onto your floors.
5. Then press the release button. When the release button is pressed, the bottom cover will open and the dust
will drop into your trash receptacle. (Fig 11)

! HOW TO CLEAN AND REPLACE THE VORTEX & HEPA FILTER(s)
There are two filters in this unit, the intake Vortex filter & the exhaust HEPA filter. When the filters are dirty and
the suction power is reduced, you must clean or replace the filter(s).
Clean and replace the Vortex Intake filter
1. Open the top Vortex chamber cover by rotating the cover counterclockwise. (Fig 12)
2. Pull the 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 assemble 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 Vortex filter only needs to be cleaned when the entire surface of
the filter becomes dirty. Due to its highly efficient design the Vortex filter is 3x
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.
