Removing Dust Bowl and Filters
NOTICE:
Maximum dust collection will only be
obtained with a clean filter and an empty dust
bowl.
NOTICE:
Empty dust bowl before it becomes
overfilled. If dust begins to fall back out of the
product after it is switched off, it is too full and
requires emptying.
• Press the bowl release button (2) and pull the
dust bowl (3) away from the body of the auto vac.
• While holding the dust bowl over a bin, pull the filter
out to empty the contents of the bowl.
NOTICE:
The auto vac has a pre-filter and an
inner filter. The filters should be separated to allow
better cleaning.
• To separate the filters, twist the pre-filter (10) in
a clockwise direction and lift away from the inner
filter (11) as shown in Figure E.

the inner filter and twist in a counterclockwise
direction as shown in Figure F.

ensure a secure fit. Place the dust bowl back onto
the auto vac until it "clicks" firmly into position.
