Filter assembly

The HEPA filter and pre-filter screen are
essentially self-shedding.
Tapping the side of the dirt cup as
described in "How to empty dirt cup"
should sufficiently remove dust and fine
particles from the HEPA filter and pre-fil-
ter.
The filter assembly can also be removed
for additional cleaning.
