ing effectiveness.

Dirt cup

The dirt and debris picked up by the
cleaner is deposited into the dirt cup. It
is recommended that the dirt cup be
emptied after each use.
When empty, the cup can be cleaned with
a damp cloth or rinsed with water. Be
sure cup is dry before reusing.
All models have a filter and others also
have a cyclonic cone (filter assembly
inside the cup) that provides extended
cleaning performance.
However, very fine materials, such as
face powder, cornstarch and fireplace
ashes, picked up in large quantities can
seal the filter and cause a loss of suc-
tion. When using the cleaner for this
type of dust, empty cup often.
