The mass of dirt and debris picked up by your central vacuum system is deposited in the dirt canis-
ter. The dirt canister is attached to the bottom of your power unit (single canister units) or filter
canister (if split system unit) and will need to be emptied on a periodic basis. To empty the dirt can,
follow these simple steps:
To remove the dirt canister, support the bottom of the canister with your knee*
(see figure 1a), then unsnap the two dirt canister latches by grasping the
lower end of each latch and pulling straight away from the canister. (Note:

Note:
The latches may be tight, but do not try to adjust them. They need to latch
tightly, to ensure a proper seal, which is important in the operation of the
cyclonic separation.)

Carefully lower the dirt container and empty the debris into any suitable trash container. (If
equipped with an air channel and plastic bag, see page 7 for more instructions.)

Check the vacuum pump protection screen by looking up or feeling up inside
the dirt canister to remove any debris that may have become stuck on the
screen up inside the metal cone. A plastic bag may be placed over the bottom
portion of the top canister. Then, while holding the plastic bag tightly around
the canister with one hand, push the bag up inside with the other hand and
brush the screen surface (see figure 2a). In this way, the screen can be
cleaned without getting any dust or debris on the floor or hands.

Replace the dirt canister by slipping the rim of the dirt canister over the lip of the top can until it
is seated against the rim gasket. Then while holding the canister in place with your knee* (see
Figure 1a), fasten the two latches. Do this by hooking the top lip of each latch over the rim of the
top can and then press straight in on the bottom of the latches until they lock.
*If you have trouble removing or replacing the dirt canister using your knee, try supporting the can with one hand, unlatching (or
relatching) one side with the other hand. Then, reverse your hands to unlatch (or relatch) the other side.

TIP:::::
When cleaning the up inside the can, try using a toilet bowl brush or something similar.
This will allow you to reach up inside more easily than just by using your arm. Still use the
plastic bag, as this will keep the dirt from falling on you or your floor.
Some units may have an optional Electro-Static screen. To remove the screen, pull down on
the tab until the screen comes down through the metal cone. Clean the electrostatic screen
by vacuuming, rinsing with water, or shaking. IMPOR

ANT::::: If you rinse the screen, make
sure it is dry before placing it back in the unit or it will void warranty. To replace the screen, fold
it and place it inside of the top of the metal cone. Then, allow the Electro-Static screen to
expand until it covers the entire opening.
