4. Follow and record
Complete the checks before recording physical work. Follow steps in order.
Open the empty bin
Disconnect the charger, remove the wand and tool, then hold the handle and pull the red lever toward you and upward until the empty bin opens.
Look for: The base is open before the cyclone release is used.
Manual: p11 Emptying the clear bin; Cleaning the clear binRelease the cyclone
Press the red button behind the raised cyclone and lift the cyclone out as shown. Keep it dry and place it safely aside.
Look for: Only the documented cyclone assembly is removed; no motor housing is opened.
Manual: p11 Emptying the clear bin; Cleaning the clear binRemove the clear bin
Pull back the red catch at the bin base, slide the bin downward and carefully bring it forward from the main body.
Look for: The clear bin separates along its normal guides without prying.
Manual: p11 Emptying the clear bin; Cleaning the clear binWipe the bin
Wipe the detached clear bin with a damp cloth only. Keep detergent, polish and air freshener away from it, and keep the cyclone and electrical body dry.
Look for: This bin is wiped, not put in a dishwasher or immersed with the machine.
Manual: p11 Emptying the clear bin; Cleaning the clear binLet the bin dry completely
Allow the clear bin to become completely dry before replacing it. Inspect the catches and the surfaces that will meet the body.
Look for: The manual requires complete dryness for the bin; it gives no 24-hour bin-drying interval.
Manual: p11 Emptying the clear bin; Cleaning the clear binFit the bin on its guides
Align the bin tabs with the grooves on the body and slide the bin upward until its catch clicks.
Look for: The bin is held by its catch before the cyclone is returned.
Manual: p11 Emptying the clear bin; Cleaning the clear binRestore cyclone and base
Slide the cyclone into the body grooves, push it down to normal position, then close the base by hand until it clicks. Stop if either catch fails to hold.
Look for: The cyclone is down, the bin is secure and its base stays latched.
