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.
3
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.

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