The bagless design allows for easy and quick emptying of the dust cup. Press the release button to detach the dust cup from the main unit, then open the bottom flap to dispose of collected debris into a trash receptacle.

6.2 Cleaning the Foam Filter

The washable foam filter captures fine dust and dander. Regularly remove and clean the foam filter under running water. Allow it to air dry completely for 24 hours before reinserting it into the vacuum. Refer to the instruction guide for detailed steps on filter removal and reinstallation.
