2. Press the dirt cup release button and lift the dirt cup away from the vacuum body.
3. Hold the dirt cup over a trash receptacle and press the bottom release latch to empty contents.

1. With the vacuum unplugged and dirt cup removed, locate the filter assembly.
2. Remove the filter. Tap it gently over a trash can to dislodge dust and debris.

4. Replace the filter and reattach the dirt cup.
5. Replace the filter every 3-6 months, or as needed, depending on usage.

Cleaning the Brush Roll

Periodically check the brush roll for tangled hair or debris that can reduce cleaning effectiveness.

1. Ensure the vacuum is unplugged.
2. Turn the vacuum head over to access the brush roll.
3. Use scissors to carefully cut away any hair or string wrapped around the brush roll. Be careful not to damage the bristles.
