FILTER CARE
The HEPA filters included with this vacuum are long life filters. To be
effective in minimizing dust recirculation, especially in lead paint (EPA
RRP Rule) applications, the filters MUST be installed correctly and
in good condition.
To Remove Filters
1. Turn off the main on/off power switch
(E) and unplug cord from outlet.
2. Release canister latches (D) and
remove vacuum head (C) from
canister. Place vacuum head on a
level surface upside down.
3. Turn each filter (I) counterclockwise
by gripping it on the plastic end cover
as shown, and carefully remove from
head, ensuring debris does not fall
into mounting hole.
NOTE: Use care to not damage filter material.
4. Inspect filters for wear, tears or other damage.
NOTE: If there is any doubt on the condition of the filters they
MUST be replaced. DO NOT continue use if filters are damaged.
WARNING: Never use compressed air or a brush to clean filters,
otherwise damage to the filter membrane will occur which will allow
dust to pass through the filter. If needed, gently tap against a hard
surface or rinse with room temperature water and let air dry. Cleaning
of the filters is typically unnecessary. Even if the filter is covered with
dust, the automatic filter cleaning system will maintain maximum
performance and continue to function. If visual damage to the filter
membrane exists, replace filters. Filters typically last between six and
twelve months, depending on use and care.
To Install Filters
1. Ensure filter seal (S) is in place and is secure
