If you notice that the filter is rotating slower than normal or not rotating, refer to the Troubleshooting section. If you feel that this filter needs replacement, take your cleaner to an Authorized Hoover Sales and Service Center. 33 While the cleaner is in operation, the pre-filter screen (A) will stop larger debris from entering the HEPA fil- ter chamber. This larger debris will be seen collecting in the larger chamber of the dirt cup (B). The HEPA filter will col- lect fine particles that have passed through the pre-filter screen. The HEPA filter cleans itself while rotating, deposit- ing fine debris in the smaller chamber of the dirt cup (C). The cleaner will continue to perform at maximum cleaning levels if the pre-filter screen is cleaned each time the dirt cup is emptied (see Fig. 34). 34 Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet. Do not use cleaner without dirt cup or filters in place. The pre-filter screen (A), located inside the dirt cup lid, is removable and can be cleaned using the cleaner's dusting brush or washed in cold water and a mild detergent. Rinse and let filter air dry completely before repositioning. To remove this filter, remove the dirt cup and the dirt cup lid. Brush or wash, air dry and replace the dirt cup lid. (Cont'd) ¡ 11
