container from the cleaner.

The 2-stage opening system minimises the escape of dust when emptying. To release fine dust
first, firmly hold the dust container and push down the hand grip at the back of the container
with your palm (13a).

debris (13b). Reverse operation to close the dust container.

the cleaner body.
