4. Operating Tips for Optimal Performance

To ensure your ZEEGMA HEPA Filter provides the best possible air filtration and extends the lifespan of your vacuum cleaner, consider the following:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the filter regularly as described in the Maintenance section to prevent clogging and maintain suction power.
• Timely Replacement: While reusable, the filter's efficiency may decrease over time. Replace the filter if you notice a significant drop in vacuum performance or if the filter appears damaged or excessively worn.
• Proper Sealing: Always ensure the filter is securely installed and the compartment is properly closed to prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the filter.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

The ZEEGMA HEPA Filter is designed to be reusable and washable, offering an economical and environmentally friendly solution. Follow these steps for proper cleaning:

1. Remove Filter: Turn off and unplug your vacuum cleaner. Carefully remove the HEPA filter from its compartment as described in the Setup section.
2. Rinse Under Running Water: Hold the filter under cool, running tap water. Gently rinse the pleated surface until the water runs clear. Avoid using hot water or harsh detergents, as these can damage the filter material.
3. Shake Off Excess Water: After rinsing, gently shake the filter to remove any excess water.
4. Air Dry Completely: Place the filter in a well-ventilated area to air dry completely. This may take 24 to 48 hours. It is crucial that the filter is completely dry before reinstallation to prevent mold growth and damage to your vacuum cleaner. Do not use a dryer or other heating devices to speed up the drying process.
5. Reinstall Filter: Once completely dry, reinstall the filter into your vacuum cleaner following the installation steps.

Note: Regular cleaning helps maintain the filter's efficiency and prolongs its lifespan. The frequency of cleaning depends on usage and the level of dust/debris in your environment.
