When to empty
It is recommended that the dirt cup be
emptied before the dirt reaches the dirt
opening on back of dirt cup (Fig. 3-1) or
after every use if preferred.
CAUTION: Very fine materials, such
as face powder or cornstarch, may
seal the filter and cause loss of suc-
tion. When using the cleaner for this
type of dust, empty the cup and clean
the filters often.
How to empty
Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet. Do not use the cleaner without
dirt cup or filters in place.
Remove cup - Squeeze dirt cup
latch. Pull cup forward.

While the cleaner is in operation, the
pre-filter assembly screen will stop
larger debris from entering the pleated
filter chamber. This larger debris will be
seen collecting in the left side of the dirt
cup. The pleated filter will collect fine
particles that have passed through the
pre-filter assembly screen.
