or prior to the dust in the cyclonic
chamber reaching the "MAX" fill line. If dirt
level is not visible, clean every three
months.

1. Hold the cyclonic chamber from the
handle over a garbage can and
press the cyclonic

Filter Indicator Light
When the filter indicator light flashes, it
means that the dust cup is full, the filters
need cleaning or there is a blockage in the
air paths. You must empty the dust from
the dust cup, clean the debris screen, clean
the filters and check the unit for any
blockages. (Fig. 30)
