Remove dust cup by pulling latch upward and
pivoting dust cup out and away from cleaner.

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.
