Allergy sufferers
When emptying any vacuum cleaner, it is difficult to avoid exposure to dust. To minimise this risk, please ensure that you encase the dust canister in a large bag to empty it. Close the bag as tightly as possible round the dust canister. Remove the dust canister and close the bag as tightly and quickly as possible and dispose of this immediately. It is advisable to wear disposable gloves and a face mask while emptying the cleaner. If at all possible, ask a non allergy sufferer to empty the dust canister when required.
