USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper cleaning and maintenance will
ensure the highest operating performance of
your Westinghouse WST1600 Series Cord-Free
Vacuum Cleaner.

Emptying the Collection Bin

Your Westinghouse Vacuum Cleaner's see-
through Collection Bin fits inside its Storage
Compartment. Check to make sure the
Collection Bin is never filled higher than the
MAX markings on the Bin. It will fill up quickly,
so it's a good idea to empty it after every use.
1. Return your Vacuum Cleaner to its
upright position.
2. Press the Power Button to turn the
Vacuum Cleaner OFF before you empty the
Collection Bin.
Figure 12a
3. Press down on the Handle at the top of the
Collection Bin. Pull outward until the Bin
releases from its locked-in storage position
inside the Storage Compartment. (See
Figure 12a.)
4. Grasp the Handle firmly and lift the
Collection Bin out and away from the
Vacuum Cleaner.
5. Hold the Grip Area at the bottom of the
Collection Bin with one hand.
