For maximum cleaning performance,
the following carpet height settings are
recommended.
. Lowest setting: for all types of carpet
and hard floors.

Dirt cup
The dirt cup assembly consists of the
following parts:
Lid (A)
Dirt Cup (B)
Pre-filter Assembly (C)
Main Filter (D) (behind pre-filter)
Dirt Opening (E)
While the cleaner is in operation, the
pre-filter assembly screen will stop
larger debris from entering the main filter
chamber. This larger debris will be seen
collecting in the left side of the dirt cup.
The main filter will collect fine particles
that have passed through the pre-filter
assembly screen.
When to empty
It is recommended that the dirt cup be
emptied before the dirt reaches the dirt
opening on back of dirt cup (Fig. 3-1) or
after every use if preferred.
CAUTION: Very fine materials, such
as face powder or cornstarch, may
seal the filter and cause loss of suc-
tion. When using the cleaner for this
type of dust, empty the cup and clean
the filters often.
How to empty
Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet. Do not use the cleaner without
dirt cup or filters in place.
Remove cup - Squeeze dirt cup
latch. Pull cup forward.
Empty cup - Remove lid.

main filter or the pre-filter assembly to
empty the dirt cup.

cles fall from the main filter.

Secondary and final
filters

neath the retainer in the bottom of clean-
er cavity, protects the motor from dirt
particles.

Reposition dirt cup.
Should you want to replace this filter, ask

Do not operate cleaner without any of
the filters in place.
Check agitator shield
Because your cleaner picks up so well,
we strongly recommend you check for
debris accumulation under the agitator
shield each time you clean the filters.
Removing debris under the shield will
help maintain your cleaner's excellent
pick up and suction. Remove debris as
follows:
1. Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
2. Check for dirt accumulation by remov-
ing bottom plate (Fig. 3-18), removing
agitator (Fig. 3-19), and lifting agitator
shield (Fig. 3-22).
3. Remove any debris and replace
shield, agitator and bottom plate (Figs.
3-22 to 3-24).
