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).
