NOTICE! The HEPA cartridge filter included is made of high quality materials designed
to stop small dust particles. The HEPA cartridge filter should be used for dry pick-up only.
A dry HEPA cartridge filter is necessary to pick up dust. If the HEPA cartridge filter is wet,
it will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. Handle the HEPA cartridge filter carefully
when removing it for replacing it. Check the HEPA cartridge filter for tears or small holes,
a small hole can let dust pass through and out of the cleaner.
Do not use a HEPA cartridge filter with holes or tears, replace it immediately.
