6.1 Emptying the Dustbin

The SC9671 features an easy-to-empty bagless dustbin with a 2-liter capacity. Empty the dustbin when the 'Max Fill' line is reached or after each use.

1. Ensure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged.
2. Press the dustbin release button and carefully remove the dustbin from the main unit.
3. Position the dustbin over a waste bin and press the release latch to open the bottom flap.
4. Shake out the contents. Close the flap securely and reinsert the dustbin into the vacuum cleaner until it clicks.

6.2 Cleaning/Replacing Filters

Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a HEPA13 filter and potentially other pre-motor filters. Clean or replace filters as recommended to maintain suction power and air filtration efficiency.

• HEPA13 Filter: This filter traps at least 99.9% of dust and allergens. Check the filter regularly. Depending on usage, it may need to be cleaned by tapping out dust or rinsed with water (ensure it is completely dry before reinstallation). Refer to the markings on the filter for specific cleaning instructions. Replace if damaged or if suction power significantly decreases after cleaning.
• Pre-Motor Filter: This filter protects the motor from large dust particles. It should be cleaned regularly, typically by rinsing with water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.

Caution: Never operate the vacuum cleaner without all filters properly installed.
