EMPTYING THE DUST CUP
The dust cup needs to be emptied each time you vacuum and
periodically during cleaning, when the dust cup appears full.

Undo the latches on the sides of the dust cup by lifting
them up and outwards to remove the dust cup from the
motor base. (Fig. 18)
2
Hold the dust cup over a trash receptacle and press the
bottom door release button. (Fig. 19) Tap gently to empty
contents. Press the door shut again until it clicks.

If needed, turn the dust cup upside down over the trash
receptacle and press the top door release button.
(Fig. 20) Tap gently to remove contents.
Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove debris stuck to the
screen filter inside the dust cup. Press the door shut again
until it clicks.

two latches onto the tabs on the sides of the dust cup and
push down to lock.
