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.
