Care, Cleaning and Storage

Emptying & Cleaning the Dust Canister and Filter

Always switch the portable handvac to the OFF position before emptying the dust canister.

For optimum performance, empty the dust canister after every use, especially if used for picking up food scraps and crumbs.

1. Hold the handle of the portable handvac in one hand and the dust canister in the other.
2. Use your thumb to press the EMPTY button and gently pull the canister away from the motor body (Fig 6)

1. Always hold the dust canister vertically with the nozzle pointed downwards to avoid any spillage. The filter and filter holder inside the dust canister must be removed before emptying.

2. Using your thumb and index finger, pull the filter at the tab outwards away from the filter holder (Fig 7).

1. Next, remove the filter holder from the dust canister by pulling firmly on the tab at the top of the cover and sliding straight out (Fig.8).

1. Tip the dust canister into the rubbish bin, lightly tapping the sides if necessary to dislodge any debris. Remove any dust and particles from the filter into the bin.

2. If required, wash the dust canister, filter holder and filter with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly before reassembling.

NOTE: Ensure the dust canister, filter holder and filter are completely dry before reassembling.

NOTE: Do not use any detergents or boiling water to wash the filter. Do not wash the filter in a dishwasher or washing machine.

1. Replace the filter holder back into the dust canister, ensuring the narrower side and tab are positioned at the top of the canister. Push until securely inserted. (Fig 9)

Care, Cleaning and Storage

1. Slide the filter back into the filter holder. The filter rests in the filter holder, it will not lock or clip into place.
2. Align the notch on the base of the motor body with the opening on the base of the dust canister. Attach these parts then push together the top of the motor and the top of the dust canister until secured.

If you encounter reduced suction performance:

• Check the dust capacity in the dust canister and empty if full.
• Check the filter and filter holder; clean if required. Any clogging in the filter will reduce the efficiency of the portable handvac.
