Removing and Emptying the Dust Tank
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the power cord must be disconnected before

To obtain the best result from your cleaner the dust tank needs to be cleaned regularly,

Alternatively, the HEPA lter may also be washed 4.
by running it under the tap. We recommend that
you wash the lter once a week or when the
suction appears to have been reduced. Always
allow 24 hours for drying before inserting back into
the vacuum cleaner.
Vigorously tap the HEPA lter on a hard surface 3.
until no more dust is can be seen falling out.
Remove the washable HEPA lter from the dust 2.
tank by turning the cover anti-clockwise.
Cleaning the HEPA Dust Tank Filter
Please Note the washable HEPA dust tank lter will stop most of the tiniest dust particles
and airborne allergens from re-entering the air you breathe. In fact it stops 99.97% of
all particles as small as 0.3 microns - many times smaller than a human hair! Because of
this incredible ltration performance, the HEPA dust tank lter will quickly accumulate
many ne dust particles inside the white lter folds that are dicult to see but which will
eventually block or reduce your suction power, if not cleaned properly.
The white material in the HEPA lter will discolor over time. This is NORMAL and will NOT •
aect the performance of the lter.
Never overll the dust tank. Remove dirt and clean the HEPA lter each time the dust tank •
is emptied. Failure to keep the lter clean could result in the motor becoming damaged.
To remove the HEPA lter, unlock and remove the 1.
dust tank cover by turning the cover anti-clockwise
until the arrow on the cover aligns with the arrow
on the handle and then lift the cover o.
