  3. Once you have removed and emptied the dirt cup, you should remove the rinseable filter located underneath the tank's lid. You can remove the filter by turning the lid counterclockwise and puling the filter out.
  4. If you are currently cleaning, tap your filter until clean then replace it in the unit, otherwise rinse the filter under water until it's clear and squeeze it to remove excess water. Allow 24 hours to dry then replace it in the unit.
