The dirt cup assembly consists of the
following parts:
Lid (A)
Dirt Cup (B)
Pre-filter (C)
HEPA Cartridge Filter (D)
Dirt Opening (E)
Handle (F)
While the cleaner is in operation, the pre-
filter screen will stop larger debris from
entering the HEPA cartridge filter chamber.
This larger debris will be seen collecting in
the left side of the dirt cup. The HEPA car-
tridge filter will collect fine particles that
have passed through the pre-filter screen.

type of dust, empty the cup and clean
the filters often.
