Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Dirt Devil Swivel Glide Vision HEPA Filter, model 2690299700. This filter is designed for use with Dirt Devil Vision 086900 and 086910 model vacuum cleaners.
Product Overview
The Dirt Devil Swivel Glide Vision HEPA Filter is a crucial component for maintaining the air filtration performance of your compatible vacuum cleaner. It captures fine dust and allergens, contributing to cleaner exhaust air.
A cylindrical pleated HEPA filter with black plastic top and bottom caps, featuring an angled opening at the top for insertion into the vacuum's dirt cup.
Installation Instructions
Follow these steps to install the HEPA filter:
- Locate the dirt cup on your Dirt Devil Vision 086900 or 086910 vacuum cleaner.
- Remove the dirt cup from the vacuum according to your vacuum cleaner's specific instructions.
- Open the dirt cup and carefully remove the old filter. Dispose of the old filter responsibly.
- Insert the new Dirt Devil Swivel Glide Vision HEPA Filter (model 2690299700) into the designated filter slot within the dirt cup. Ensure the slanted top aligns correctly and the filter is securely seated.
- Close the dirt cup and reattach it to the vacuum cleaner.
Operation
Once installed, the HEPA filter operates automatically as part of your vacuum cleaner's filtration system. It is designed to capture microscopic particles, including dust mites, pet dander, and pollen, as air passes through it during vacuuming.
For optimal performance, ensure the filter is correctly installed before each use.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance of your HEPA filter is essential for maintaining vacuum performance and air quality. This filter is reusable.
- Frequency: Inspect the filter regularly, ideally after every 1-3 uses, or when you notice a decrease in suction power.
- Removal: Follow the installation steps to remove the filter from the dirt cup.
- Cleaning:
- Gently tap the filter over a waste bin to dislodge loose dirt and debris.
- If necessary, rinse the pleated filter material under cool, running water. Do not use hot water or detergents.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling. Do not use heat to dry the filter, as this can damage the HEPA material.
- Reinstallation: Once completely dry, reinstall the filter into the dirt cup as described in the Installation section.
Important: Never operate the vacuum cleaner without the HEPA filter installed, as this can damage the motor and reduce filtration effectiveness. Replace the filter if it shows signs of damage, such as tears or excessive wear, or if cleaning no longer restores suction power.
Troubleshooting
Reduced Suction Power
- Filter Clogged: Remove and clean the HEPA filter as described in the Maintenance section. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstallation.
- Improper Installation: Verify that the filter is correctly seated and the dirt cup is securely closed.
- Other Clogs: Check other parts of the vacuum, such as the hose, brush roll, and dirt cup, for blockages.
