Emptying the clear bin
Step 1 - Removing the clear bin and cyclone
- Empty as soon as the dirt reaches the level of the MAX mark – do not overfill.
- To remove the cyclone and clear bin, push the release button to the side of the carrying handle, as shown. The carrying handle will be released. Remove the cyclone and clear bin unit.

Step 2 - Emptying the bin
- To release the dirt, press the red bin release button.
Step 3 - Closing the bin base
- Close the clear bin base so it clicks into place and is secure.

Step 4 - Replacing the bin and cyclone
- Place the clear bin and cyclone into position on the front of the main body. The recess in the base of the clear bin must fit onto the lug on the locator bracket.
- Push the carrying handle down so it clicks into place on the top of the clear bin and cyclone ensuring it is secure.

NB: To minimise dust/allergen contact when emptying, encase the clear bin tightly in a plastic bag and empty. Remove the clear bin carefully. Seal the bag tightly, dispose as normal.
