MAINTENANCE - Cyclonic Single Piece Systems
The mass of dirt and debris picked up by your central
vacuum system is deposited in the dirt canister, which is at-
tached to the bottom of your power unit on single canister
units or filter canister if split system unit and will need to be
emptied periodically.
To Empty the Canister
1 Remove the dirt canister by supporting bottom of the
canister with your knee* (Fig. 1), then unsnap the two
latches by grasping the lower end of each latch and
pulling straight away from the canister.
Note: The latches may be tight, but do not try to adjust
them. They need to latch tightly to ensure a proper
seal, which is vital for proper cyclonic operation.
2
Carefully lower the dirt canister and empty the debris
into any suitable trash container. (If equipped with Air
Channel and plastic can liner, see page 14 & 15)
Check the screen
3
Check the protection screen by looking up or feeling
up inside the dirt canister to remove any debris that
may have become stuck on the screen up inside the
metal cone.
4
A plastic bag may be placed over the bottom portion
of the top canister. While holding the plastic bag
tightly around the can with one hand, push the bag
up inside with the other hand and brush the screen
surface (Fig. 2). This way, the screen can be cleaned
without getting dust or debris on the floor or hands.
Reattach the dirt canister
5
Replace the dirt canister by slipping the rim of the dirt
can over the lip of the top can until it is seated against
the rim gasket.
6
Then while holding the canister in place with your
knee* (see Fig. 1), fasten the two latches. Do this by
hooking the top lip of each latch over the rim of the
top can and then press straight in on the bottom of
the latches until they lock.
*If you have trouble removing or replacing the dirt canister using your knee, try supporting the can with
one hand, unlatching (or relatching) one side with the other hand. Then, reverse your hands to unlatch
(or relatch) the other side.

If you notice a lack
of suction or power,
safety screen may be
blocked. Remove lid
and clean.
TIP: When cleaning up
inside the can, try using
a toilet bowl brush or
something similar. This
will allow you to reach
up inside more easily
than just by using your
arm. Still use the plastic
bag, as this will keep the
dirt from falling on you
or your floor.
