EMPTYING THE DUST CONTAINER
Carefully empty out dirt and debris. Very fine dirt and dust particles may seal the
filter and cause loss of suction, as well as damage to the motor.
• Always turn off the vacuum cleaner when emptying the dust container.
• Exceeding the “Max” fill line may cause dirt and debris to seal the filter and cause
loss of suction.
• Empty the dust container before reaching the “Max” fill line and clean the filter often
to prevent various types of dirt particles from sealing the filter.
• Since fine dust, powders and other types of small dirt particles can collect into the
filter after carpet cleaning, suction may weaken. When this happens, please refer to
the Maintenance section on page 9.
