Cleaning the Filter

Open the filter door and remove filter by grasping the tab.
Shake off debris by tapping the filter against the side of your household waste bin.
Reinsert filter with the tab facing up.
Important: The filter door won’t close unless a filter is reinserted correctly. Replace the filter every two months.

Cleaning the Full Bin Sensors

Wipe the sensors with a clean, dry cloth.
Wipe the inner and outer sensor ports on the bin with a clean, dry cloth.

Cleaning the Front Castor Wheel

Pull firmly on the front wheel to remove it.
Remove any debris from inside the wheel cavity.
Spin the wheel by hand. If the rotation is restricted, remove the wheel from its housing and push firmly to remove the axle and clear any debris or hair wrapped around it.
Reinstall all parts when finished. Make sure the wheel clicks back into place.

Remove the brush, clean the brush and the brush post, and then reinstall the brush.

Clear the vacuum path.
Reinstall the extractors. Match the color and shape of the extractor pegs with the color and shape of the extractor icons on the cleaning head module.
