6. Dirt Container and Filter:
Removal and Replacement

1. 

Make  sure  the  vacuum  cleaner  has  been  switched  off

and unplugged from the mains supply. To remove the dirt
container from the vacuum cleaner press the release catch
and pull it forward.

To remove the lid of the dirt container hold the top and the
side handles firmly and turn the lid anti-clockwise. Pull the
lid away from the body of the dirt container.

Empty  the  all  the  dust  and  dirt  from  the  dirt  container 
(Fig.6/1).

2. 

The  filter  inside  the  dirt  container  should  be  replaced

every 12 months.  It should be cleaned each time the dirt
container is emptied. Remove it by grasping the ring at the
top of the filter.

Twist  and  pull  the  filter  out.  To  clean  it,  tap  it  gently
against the side of a dustbin. Do not use a brush to clean
it as this may damage the filter. The filters can be washed
by  rinsing  the  outer  part  only  under  cold  running  water.
Allow 24 hours to dry before replacing back into vacuum.

Replace the filter into the dirt container. Push it firmly into
place  to  prevent  dust  and  dirt  leaking  out.  Replace  the
canister lid turning clockwise and return the dust (Fig.6/2).
