Use and Care Manual

Note: Clean the cloth dust bag outdoors when changing the HEPA dust bag. Optimum

filtration is achieved by using the HEPA dust bag in conjunction with the cloth dust bag

● Cleaning the Cloth Dust Bag Used with the HEPA Bag:

1. Remove the cloth dust bag by grabbing the top lip of the bag and lifting upward and out of the

vacuum. Shake out vigorously outdoors over a garbage receptacle until there is no more dust.

Blowing the bag out using compressed air also works well.

2. Inspect the cloth dust bag regularly for tears or damage. Replace the cloth dust bags if

damage or tears are present.

● Cleaning the Cloth Dust Bag when Used Alone (not suggested):

1. Remove the cloth dust bag, empty into trash can, and shake vigorously outdoors until there

there is no more dust.

2. The cloth dust bag is hand washable in lukewarm water.

3. Allow to air dry for 24 hours. The cloth dust bag should be replaced when needed.

Never place the bag into the vacuum if it is still wet.

Note: If used often without HEPA dust bag, replacement and washing will be required

more often.

4. Replace with the clean cloth dust bag and close the canister lid.

● 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 the HEPA pre-motor filter often as described in this section.

1. Remove the lid and cloth dust bag from the canister. The HEPA pre-motor filter is located

underneath the cloth dust bag in the bottom of the bag chamber. To remove the HEPA pre-motor

filter lift from the sides of the HEPA filter and lift upward.

2. Vigorously “TapClean” 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 the

water to run on the dirty side when it appears dirty or suction is reduced. Blowing the filter out with

compressed air also works very well.

Never use your vacuum with a wet filter in place. Let the filter dry completely before placing it

back into the vacuum.

● Cleaning the Exhaust Filter

1. Remove the exhaust filter cover to access the filter and pull the filter out

2. To clean the filter tap the filter over a dust bin or spray the filter with compressed air

3. Inspect the filter for any damage and reinstall the filter

4. Install the filter cover and lock it into place
