Cleaning or Replacing the HEPA Pre-Motor Filter
Important Please Note: The HEPA pre-motor filter will stop most of the tiniest dust particles and airborne allergens from re-entering the air you breathe. Because of this incredible filtration performance, the HEPA pre-motor filter will accumulate many fine dust particles that are difficult to see. Be assured that the HEPA pre-motor filter is doing the job. Clean the HEPA pre-motor filter when dirty as described in this section.

1.  Remove the shake-out bag from the canister. The HEPA pre-motor filter is located underneath the shake-out bag. To remove the HEPA pre-motor filter, place your index finger underneath the edge of the premotor filter, and using your thumb press the tab toward the center of the filter to release, then lift the side of the HEPA pre-motor filter and pull upwards on filter.
2.  Vigorously tap clean the HEPA pre-motor filter on a hard surface to remove any residual dust that might still be on the HEPA pre-motor filter.
3.  You can wash the HEPA pre-motor filter by running it under the tap and allowing the water to run on the dirty side at least once a month or when suction appears to be decreased.
4.  Shake off any excess water and allow to dry completely before reinserting it.
5.  Replace the Pre-Motor Filter if it cannot be cleaned or if damaged.
6.  To reinsert, place filter over the tabs and press down. You should hear two “clicks” if installed correctly.
