The instructions in this booklet serve as a guide to routine

maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls, check the

dust cup, filters, belt, and brush roll often. We suggest emptying

the dust cup after every use.

NOTE: When vacuuming carpet fresheners or

cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar

fine substances, the dust cup and filters will

require more frequent maintenance.

NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical

cord before changing the filter. Never

operate the vacuum cleaner without the dust

cup or filter assembly in place.

1. Remove dust cup by pulling latch upward and pivoting dust

cup out and away from cleaner.

3. Lift filter up and out of dust cup with a twisting motion.

4. Dump debris in a waste container.

facing inside the dust cup compartment; place bottom
