Installation Guide

Follow these steps to correctly install your new Acxico HEPA filter into your Midea SC861 or SC861A vacuum cleaner.

  1. Power Off and Unplug: Before beginning, ensure your vacuum cleaner is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet to prevent accidental operation.
  2. Locate Filter Compartment: Refer to your vacuum cleaner's original manual to locate the filter compartment. This is typically found near the dustbin or motor housing.
  3. Remove Old Filter: Carefully remove the old, dirty filter. It may be necessary to twist or unlatch a cover. Dispose of the old filter responsibly.
  4. Insert New Filter: Take one new Acxico HEPA filter. Align the filter with the compartment opening. The filter is designed for a snug fit to ensure proper sealing and filtration. Gently push or twist the filter into place until it is securely seated.
  5. Secure Compartment: Close the filter compartment cover, ensuring it latches securely.
  6. Test Operation: Plug in your vacuum cleaner and perform a brief test to ensure proper function and suction.

Operating Principles

The Acxico HEPA filter functions as a critical component of your vacuum cleaner's filtration system. As air is drawn into the vacuum, it passes through the pleated filter material. The high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) design ensures that microscopic particles, including dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and mold spores, are trapped within the filter media.

This process prevents these contaminants from being exhausted back into your living space, thereby improving indoor air quality. For optimal performance, ensure the filter is clean and properly seated before each use.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your HEPA filter is essential for prolonging its lifespan and maintaining your vacuum cleaner's efficiency. The Acxico HEPA filters are designed to be reusable.

Cleaning Instructions:

  1. Remove Filter: Turn off and unplug the vacuum. Remove the filter as described in the Installation Guide.
  2. Tap to Remove Debris: Gently tap the filter against a trash can to dislodge loose dust and debris.
  3. Rinse with Cold Water: Rinse the filter under cold, running water. Ensure water flows through the pleated material from the clean side to the dirty side to flush out trapped particles. Do not use hot water or detergents.
  4. Air Dry Completely: Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting it into the vacuum cleaner. Do not use a dryer or direct heat, as this can damage the filter material. Ensure it is absolutely dry to prevent mold growth and damage to the vacuum motor.

Replacement Schedule:

Even with regular cleaning, HEPA filters will eventually lose their effectiveness. It is recommended to replace your Acxico HEPA filter every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage frequency and household environment (e.g., presence of pets, allergies). A noticeable decrease in suction power or persistent odors may indicate it's time for a replacement.
