Inspecting the Filters
1. Inspect the safety filter. If it is dirty, replace both
the safety and primary filters.

safety filter. If the safety filter is dirty, then
the primary filter is damaged.

into the filter while shining a bright light on the
outside of the filter. If the primary filter is dirty,
bent, or damaged, replace it.
Note:
Holes in the filter appear as bright spots.
Do not clean the primary filter.
