Cleaning The Secondary Filter - NuTone VX475 Operating Instructions Manual

CLEANING
THE SECONDARY FILTER
A secondary safety filter, located at the top of the vacuum
chamber, provides additional protection to the motor. This
filter should be checked and cleaned if necessary, when
disposable bag is changed or when debris pail is emptied.
Simply brush filter clean. If the filter is excessively soiled,
wash in a mild detergent and let it dry completely before
reinstalling.
CAUTION
Operating the power unit without the secondary filter
will void the warranty.

When emptying the debris pail, it is recommended to clear
any dust and dirt that may have accumulated on the internal
filter media. Simply open the direct door, reach in and tap
the top of the internal filter (FIGURE 16). This will release
any loose debris into the pail. You may empty the pail again
at this point but it is not necessary as any amounts of dirt
and dust will be minimal.
