Maintenance
The following sections are concerned with proper maintenance of the
cleaner. Familiarize yourself with these home maintenance tasks and
keep this owner’s manual in a convenient place where you can refer to it
when needed. Proper use and care of your cleaner will assure continued
cleaning effectiveness.
The dust cup
The dirt picked up by the cleaner
is deposited into the dust cup.
When empty, the dust cup can
be cleaned with a damp cloth or
rinsed with water. Be sure cup is
dry before re-using.
When to empty dust cup
Frequently check the dirt level in
the dust cup. It is recommended
that you empty the dust cup
when the dirt level reaches the
“Full Line” on the back of the
cup. If more dirt is allowed to ac-
cumulate, your cleaner may not
operate effectively and spillage
may occur when cup is removed.
How to empty dust cup
Disconnect cleaner from elec-
trical outlet.
1. Place handle in operating posi-
tion and unhook spring from han-
dle.
2. While holding the top of the
bag, shake bag vigorously to re-
lease the dirt accumulated in the

dle in upright position. Allow a few
seconds for the dirt to settle in
the cup.

the cup, release the two latches by
pulling them outward as shown.
5. Remove the cup and empty it.
