Dirt cup

The dirt and debris picked up by the cleaner is deposited into the dirt cup. It is recommended that the dirt cup be emptied after each use.

When empty, the cup can be cleaned with a damp cloth or rinsed with water. Be sure cup is dry before reusing.

All models have a filter and others also have a cyclonic cone (filter assembly inside the cup) that provides extended cleaning performance.

However, very fine materials, such as face powder, cornstarch and fireplace ashes, picked up in large quantities can seal the filter and cause a loss of suc- tion. When using the cleaner for this type of dust, empty cup often.
