CLEANING THE HEPA PRE-MOTOR AND POST-MOTOR
FILTERS
The lters in the vacuum cleaner will become dusty over time. This is normal and will not aect their
performance. However, if the lters become so dusty that suction power is reduced:
1. Remove the lters.
2. Rinse the lters under the tap.
3. Allow the lters to air dry for 24 hours. (Do not use
a heater, re, hairdryer or other high-temperature
appliance to dry the lters.)
4. Ret the lters into the vacuum.
This should be done once every six months or
when suction appears to be reduced.
IMPORTANT
All lters should be checked regularly for signs of damage, preferably after each cleaning task. The
lters must be replaced immediately if they become damaged.
REMOVING OBSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
Please note that there is a safety valve inside the vacuum to prevent the unit from being run with a high
vacuum rate. If the vacuum rate is too high, the safety valve will be turned on to protect the motor from
being broken.
The suction hole must be open and free of any obstructions at all times. Otherwise, the motor will overheat
and could become damaged.
