IMPORTANT: 

Always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet before opening the dirt container.  

IMPORTANT: 

Do NOT use the vacuum without the HEPA filter in place.  

Underneath the dirt container is a pre-motor filter. If found to be defective, 
please replace.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the power cord must be

disconnected before removing the dirt container, HEPA filter, changing the filters 
or performing maintenance/troubleshooting checks.

The dirt container can be washed in lukewarm water (max 40ºC).

Do not use strong detergents.

• 

Ensure that the dirt container is fully dry before putting back on the vacuum 
cleaner. Do not wash in dishwasher.

Cleaning the HEPA pre-motor filter

To remove the dirt
container, press the dirt
container release button
and lift away from the
vacuum cleaner.

Remove the dirt container
lid by grasping the dirt
container and turning 
anti-clockwise.

Empty all the dirt from 
the container.

Remove the filter by
twisting anti-clockwise
and pulling out.

Emptying and cleaning the dirt container

Tap!

Firmly tap clean the HEPA filter until no more dust is observed falling out. The HEPA
filter may be washed by running it under the tap. We recommend washing it once a
month or when suction appears reduced. Always allow to air dry for 24 hours before
replacing into the vacuum.

PLEASE NOTE: 

The white material in the HEPA filter will discolour over time - This

is NORMAL and will NOT affec tthe performance of the filter.  

WARNING: 

Always empty the dirt container and clean the HEPA filter before each

use and during prolonged usage.
