Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning the Dust Cup: Clean the dust cup after each use. Hold the vacuum slightly downward to prevent dust from falling out. Press the release button to remove the dust cup from the motor housing. Empty the dust cup over a waste bin. Clean with a moist cloth if necessary.

Cleaning the Filter Assembly: Do not wet clean the filter assembly. Remove the dust cup, then pull the filter assembly out of the motor housing. Brush the flaps of the pleated filter with a soft broom.
