Dirt duct and dirt tube
To maintain the strong suction
and cleaning effectiveness of
your cleaner, remove any large
items from the carpet surface
before vacuuming. However, if
your cleaner picks up a larger ob-
ject than can be exhausted in the
bag, it can be caught in the dirt
duct or dirt tube. These are easily
cleaned out by the following
methods.
Disconnect cleaner from electri-
cal outlet.
For access to the dirt duct, turn
cleaner over to expose underside.
Remove bottom plate. Lift dirt
duct as shown and pull out any
obstructions with your fingers.
Reposition dirt duct by lowering to
operating position and then re-
place bottom plate.
For access to the dirt tube, first
remove disposable bag. Then re-
move dirt tube by pushing to
either side to release clips. Lift
dirt tube up and out.
