To remove and insert the reusable dustbag, simply follow the instructions in ‘Replacing the

disposable dustbag’.

To empty the reusable dustbag:

1 Slide the clip off the dustbag sideways.

2 Shake out the contents into a dustbin.

3 To close the dustbag, slide the clip back onto the bottom edge of the dustbag.
