FILTER MAINTENANCE
1.
Check the Intercept Micro Filter EACH and EVERY time
you start and finish vacuuming. A clogged and dirty
filter restricts airflow and results in reduced suction and
overheating and damage to the vacuum (Figure A).
2.
While vacuuming stop periodically or as needed to shake
out the Intercept Micro Filter (Figure B). Replace with a
new filter when necessary. To install an Intercept Micro
Filter, insert filter into the inside of the Cloth Filter, then
replace the cap.
NOTE: Lift both Intercept Micro and Cloth Filters out at
the same time to avoid ripping the Micro Filter, especially
if it is full.
3.
Once a month (or more often if necessary) hand or
machine wash the 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 (Figure 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 it with a new disc. The life of
the high filtration disc will depend greatly on the use and
care of the Intercept Micro Filter and Cloth Filter.
5.
Once a month (or more often if necessary) clean the
exhaust muffler. Rinse, air dry, and return exhaust filter at
the bottom of the vacuum below the motor.
