Emptying the dirt cup Dirt cup 16 Your cleaner is equipped with a self-cleaning HEPA filter. This filter is NOT removable. While the cleaner is in operation, the pre-filter screen (A) will stop larger debris from entering the HEPA filter chamber. This larger debris will be seen collecting in the larger side of the dirt cup (B). The HEPA filter will collect fine particles that have passed through the pre-filter screen. The C HEPA filter cleans itself while rotating, depositing fine debris in the smaller side of the dirt cup (C). The 'Z' cleaner will continue to perform at maximum cleaning levels if the pre-filter screen is cleaned when the dirt cup is emptied (see Fig. 19). If you notice that the filter is rotating slower than normal, not rotating, or the filter light comes on, refer to the Troubleshooting section. When to empty It is recommended that the dirt cup be emptied before the dirt reaches the top of the dirt cup or after every use if you prefer. How to empty Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet.
