Dirt cup
The dirt and debris picked up by the
cleaner is deposited into the dirt cup. It
is recommended that the dirt cup be
emptied after each use.
When empty, the cup can be cleaned with
a damp cloth or rinsed with water. Be
sure cup is dry before reusing.
The filter and cyclonic cone assembly,
located inside the cup, prevents small
particles from entering the motor chamber. However, very fine materials, such
as face powder, cornstarch and fireplace ashes, picked up in large quantities can seal the filter and cause a loss
of suction. When using the cleaner for
this type of dust, empty cup often.
A
How to empty dirt cup
Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
Lift latch (A) at bottom of cup to release
cup.
Grasp cup and pull forward to remove it
from the cleaner.
