1. Check the Intercept Micro Filter EACH and EVERY time you start
and finish vacuuming. A clogged and dirty filter restricts airflow,
resulting in reduced suction, overheating and possible damage to
the vacuum.
2. While vacuuming throughout a building, stop every two hours or
as needed to shake out the Intercept Micro Filter (Figure A).
Replace with a new Intercept Micro Filter when necessary by sliding
filter into Cloth Filter and secure into vacuum.
NOTE: Lift both Intercept Micro Filter and Micro Cloth Filter out
at the same time to avoid ripping the Intercept Micro Filter,
especially if it is full (Figure B).
3. Once a month (or more often if necessary) hand or machine wash
the Micro Cloth filter and let it AIR DRY. (Do not put it in the
dryer.)
4. Once a week (or more often if needed) clean the Dome Filter,
located inside the vacuum underneath the Intercept Micro and
Cloth filters (Figures C).
a. Pull the top piece of the Dome Filter off and remove the foam
media (Figure D). Shake it out, rinse it, and let it air dry
thoroughly.
b. Before the next use, return the foam media to the Dome Filter.
Replace with new foam media if necessary.
c. Firmly snap the top piece of the dome filter into place.
NOTE: If using a high filtration disc in place of the foam media,
check it every two to three weeks. When the disc becomes
discolored, replace with new disc. The life of the high filtration
disc will depend greatly on the use and care of the Intercept Micro
Filter and Micro Cloth filter.
HEPA MODELS: For best results replace pleated dome filter every 6
months (or more often if necessary) (Figure C).
5. Each week rinse, air dry, and return the foam filter/diffuser at the
bottom of the vacuum below the motor (Figure E).
