How to remove dust bin to remove dust from upper chamber?

Remove the canister from the vacuum like you are going to empty it. Then on the front of the canister the Hoover logo is a clip, lift it slightly (pull away) and the top part pivots up. Under that is the filter. You can now clean the whole canister and wash the filter. Be sure squeeze out as much water as you can and then let it sit on its side for about a day before you re-install it. You can find this on page 11 of the product manual which you can download here: http://hoover.com/file/581/ if you don't already have it.

There are a couple of screws that hold the dust port on one end and a flat plastic plate on the other. Just remove the screws and swap out the port with the plate and screw everything back in place. Should be no problem Cheers, Dean

Yes. There is a door on the bottom which you open to remove the metal dust.

It's very simple. Press the grey button immediately below the handle to release the whole canister assembly then the dismantling of the canister to empty it and if necessary remove the washable HEPA filter is pretty much obvious. We usually clean the canister out every time we vacuum since it's so simple and we just don't like the idea of storing the dust and debris in the house.

We have the same Miele Red Star vacuum cleaner. Just slide the brown cardboard part into the slot and do not remove any paper.When the bag is full you simply remove the bag and pull the tab that is about 1.5 " by 3/4" . That will close off the hole to keep the dust inside. You can get a manual online. Google Miele Red Star manual. It takes a minute to download, but that way you could print a manual to keep. Good luck!

What I have done is first vacuumed the foam filter, then take out the two perm filters and use the brush attachment on my Kirby... It has enough suction to get out almost all the collected dust... I also have a unit in another room to reduce dust in my apt... Hope this helps...

Just twist the bag off & use sander without it. Dust will shoot out for sure, so you may want to sand outdoors. It does a great job.

There is a sonicrafter accessory called a "Dust Extraction Adapter", that hooks up to a shop vac. My guess the adapter screws into the holes. The adapter didn't have very good reviews, so I passed on buying one.

You press open on top and remove the filters for cleaning (see cleaning instructions). When placing the filters back, the word "Front" faces you. While the filters are out, I use a damp cloth and carefully wipe the inside--be aware there is a wire inside. Gentle cleaning is key.

This cannister is very easy to empty, but there is a technique. In order to contain any lose or fine dust, I hold the mouth of the trash bag around the opening of the cannister. When I shake or move the cannister around to loosen any debris, this keeps the dust inside the trash bag and out of my nose!

Avoid sticking anything inside the camera (mechanical or chemical) if at all possible. Dust can usually be removed with a "Giottos Rocket Air Blaster", which costs $10 here at

Recommend you use the 3M 2091 Particle Filter which will do the job equally well for dust and save money; both filter types must be replaced when used up.

First of all, the installation of this product must be a "secure" installation. So NO, you don't just remove it easily. The BASKET SLIDES forward, so just SLIDE IT and you can dust under there if you need to. But I doubt that many dust particles will accumulate under this basket, because it will be filled with canned goods or whatever you have chosen to place in it. You can also take a thin hand-vacuum cleaner attachment and suck out any dust if needed. But I don't think you will need to do that for a very LONG, LONG time. Or, take a long kitchen knife or sharpening steel, cover it with a dust cloth or dish towel and sweep it under the basket.

I have been having the same issue with mine, the manual suggests the use of adhesive tape to remove dust from the adhesive. I haven't tried it yet, will let you know what works, looking forward to replies on this post for other innovative ideas on cleaning...

We change out the pad and use a Hook and Loop (Velcro) pad and sandpaper with a hook and loop backing. This does not work with the dust pick up.

Every now and then I take my unit apart (remove screws from feet and slide out) and blow the dust from inside the cabinet. clean with damp cloth...allow to completely dry. reassemble. Do this only if cleaning the ceramic plates doesn't help. Make sure it's NOT PLUGGED IN. Be very careful. High voltage inside.

Yes, the dust bag can be removed. I suppose is not difficult to attach to a shop vac. Luck!
