Hi people and thanks in advance for any help you can assist me with.
The light on my Riccar Immacualte Canister was blinking to "Service Filter".
So I assume that means to replace the HEPA filter that filters exaust on the top of the machine.
I did purchase (when I bought the vacuum) a spare HEPA filter.
In the package was the main filter for the exaust and a "Charcoal" filter (kind of looks like a Schotch Bright scruby pad with a nothch cut out).
Where does this "Charcoal" filter go?
In the instructions it says it goes behind the bag but what's behind the bag now is a hard plastic snap in activated charcoal filter, it's all one unit.
I can't detach the filter from the hard plastic frame.
Do I need to buy a different pre-motor filter (hard plastic framed snap in filter) or am I missing something here?
The filter on the left is what's currently behind the bag now, the one on the right came in the box with the exaust filter.
I'm confused.
