Emptying Amrt Cup - Hoover Z Owner's Manual

Dirt cup
kYour cleaner is equipped with a self-cleaning HEPA filter.
P This filter
is NOT removable.
While the cleaner is in operation, the pre-filter screen (A) will stop larger
debris from entering the HEPAfilter chamber. This larger debris will be
seen collecting in the larger side of the dirt cup (B). The HEPAfilter will
collect fine particles that have passedthrough the pre-filter screen. The
HEPA filter cleans itself while rotating, depositing fine debris in the smaller
side of the dirt cup (C).
The 'Z' cleaner wBI continue to perform at maximum cleaning levels if the
pre-filter screen is cleaned when the dirt cup is emptied (see Fig. 19).
If you notice that the filter is rotating slower than normal, not rotating, or
the filter light comes on, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

top of the dirt cup or after every use if you prefer.
