To empty the dustbin:

1. Push the center black button on Junior’s back to release the dustbin, and pull.

Important Note: Never wash the dustbin nor fill it with water or any other fluid.

Filters

Three filters are located inside the dustbin’s ceiling. These filters capture fine particles and allergens, preventing them from escaping back into the air.

To remove the filters:

2. Pull the filter’s frame towards you. You will see three filter layers:

- Mesh Filter - for larger particles
- Electrostatic Filter - for fine particles
- HEPA Filter - for sub-micron particles

3. Use the cleaning tool to brush dust off the filters. It is recommended that you change Junior’s filters every 6 months, depending on the frequency and intensity of his cleaning.
