1.Clean the dirt tank if any visible clogs occur.

2.Empty the dirt cup when the dirt reaches the “Full” line on the side.

3.Check the inner and outer circular filters, and the pre-motor filter at least once a month and clean or replace as needed.

4.Put the dirt cup back in the vacuum and push in the dirt cup release handle to lock into place.

Note: There is one clips on the base of the vacuum that the cup will fit into to ensure proper placement.
