3. Emptying the Dust Bin:
When the transparent dust collection bin appears full, or suction power decreases, it is time to empty it. Twist the dust bin counter-clockwise to detach it from the main unit. Carefully empty the contents into a waste receptacle. Reattach the dust bin by aligning it and twisting clockwise until secure.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning the HEPA Filter:
Regular cleaning of the HEPA filter is crucial for maintaining optimal suction and air quality. After emptying the dust bin, remove the HEPA filter. Tap it gently to dislodge loose dust. For a more thorough cleaning, the filter can be rinsed under cool running water. Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinserting it into the vacuum. Do not use detergents or hot water.
