Clean the bin and cyclone

A damp or musty smell is caused when dust in the cyclone has come into contact with water.

Additionally the smell may occur if the filter goes back into the machine wet.

Remove the bin by pressing the catch on top of the carry handle.

Troubleshooting image

Push the button to release dust directly into a dustbin or bag.

Troubleshooting image

Release the bin from the cyclone by pressing the button on the back of the cyclone.
