Step 1: Locate the Dirt Tank
The dirt tank is located on the front of the vacuum cleaner. It’s a clear plastic container that collects the dirt and debris sucked up by the vacuum.
Step 2: Press the Release Button
On the top of the dirt tank, you’ll find a release button. Press this button to detach the dirt tank from the vacuum cleaner.
Step 3: Empty the Dirt Tank
Take the dirt tank to a trash can and empty its contents. Be sure to shake out any remaining dirt or debris.
Step 4: Clean the Filter
The filter is located inside the dirt tank. Remove it by pulling it out of the tank. Rinse the filter under running water until the water runs clear. Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it into the dirt tank.
Step 5: Clean the Cyclone Chamber
The cyclone chamber is located behind the dirt tank. Remove it by detaching the clips that hold it in place. Use a damp cloth to wipe away any dirt or debris from the cyclone chamber.
Step 6: Reassemble the Vacuum Cleaner

Step 7: Empty the Dust Cup
The dust cup is located on the top of the vacuum cleaner. It collects fine dust particles that pass through the filter. To empty the dust cup, press the release button on the side of the cup and remove it from the vacuum cleaner. Empty the contents into a trash can and reattach the dust cup to the vacuum cleaner.
