2. Release the locking block to open up the top half of the unit housing.
3. Shake the contents into a dustbin until fully empty.
4. Replace the upper portion of the housing and fasten the locking block to

Emptying the Dust Tank:
Note: Ensure the vacuum cleaner is turned off and unplugged from the mains
before emptying the dust tank.
1. To remove the dust tank from the vacuum cleaner, press the release button
at the top of the tank, then pull it firmly towards you and away from the main
body of the vacuum.
2. Once you have removed the dust tank, hold it over a rubbish bin and pull the
latch at the bottom of the tank to open it and tip the contents into the bin.
3. When the tank has been emptied, check the cylinder filter and tap it over the
bin to remove any dust or debris contained within.
Cleaning the Bin and Cylinder Filter:
1. To access and clean the cylinder filter, twist the dust tank lid counter-clockwise
to unlock it, then pull it up and away from the tank container.
2. Once the lid has been taken out of the tank, grip the bottom part of the filter

3. Pull the filter housing away from the lid and retrieve the cylinder filter located
inside.
4. Tap both parts of the cylinder filter over a rubbish bin to dispose of any dirt or
debris located inside.
5. When the filter is clean of debris, rinse it, the tank and the filter housing under
warm running water.
6. Leave the filter to dry for at least 24 hours before placing it back into the filter
housing. Ensure the filter housing and dust tank are thoroughly dry before
attempting to use the vacuum again.
7. Re-assemble the dust tank. Use the symbols on the lid and body of the tank as
guidelines when connecting the parts together; align the white arrow on the
lid with the open padlock symbol on the body of the tank, then twist the lid
towards the locked padlock symbol until it clicks into place.
