use.
Always “TapClean” the HEPA dust
cup filter and debris screen each time
the dust cup is emptied.

that the air passage is free of dirt and
debris.

“TapClean” HEPA Dust Cup Filter &
Debris Screen 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
filtration performance, the HEPA Dust Cup
Filter will quickly accumulate, inside the
white filter folds, many fine dust particles
that are difficult to see but which will
eventually block or reduce your suction
power - if not cleaned properly. This can
cause the motor to overheat and the re-
settable thermostat to trip. (Should this
happen turn off the switch, unplug the unit
and allow unit to cool down. Clean the
HEPA Filter and Debris Screen as
