dirt container and filters
Make sure that the dust cup and the cyclone shroud are
completely dry before re-assembling.
To replace the cyclone shroud, insert the cyclone shroud
back into the dust cup. Fit the cyclone shroud back into
position and turn clockwise to lock it into position.
Emptying & Cleaning the Cyclonic Chamber
Periodically the cyclonic chamber will need to be emptied
and cleaned. This does not have to be done every time
the dust cup is emptied but it is recommended that you
empty the cyclonic chamber every three (3) months
depending on use or prior to the dust in the cyclonic
chamber reaching the “MAX” fill line. If dirt level is not
visible, clean every three months.
To empty the cyclonic chamber:
Hold the cyclonic chamber from the handle over a
garbage can and press the cyclonic chamber bottom door
release button to empty the dust (Fig.5/7).
After emptying the cyclonic chamber, replace it onto the
dust cup and place the dust cup assembly into the
vacuum.
To clean the cyclonic chamber:
Make sure that you have emptied all the dust from the
cyclonic chamber before rinsing.
Step 1 - Fill the cyclonic chamber half way with water
(Fig.5/8). Use only water. Do NOT use any type of
detergent or soap.
Step 2 - Close the cyclonic chamber bottom door and
shake the cyclonic chamber thoroughly to remove any
dust that has adhered to the cyclones (Fig.5/9).
Step 3 - Hold the cyclonic chamber over a sink and press
the cyclonic chamber bottom door release button to
empty the water (Fig.5/10).
Repeat steps 1 to 3 as necessary to remove all dirt from
the cyclonic chamber.
Let the cyclonic chamber completely air dry with the
bottom door open before replacing into the vacuum. This
could take up to 48 hours.
WARNING: To avoid risk of electrical shock,
never operate the vacuum with the cyclonic
chamber wet.
