Canister Care - Kenmore 125.22614610 Use & Care Manual

The vacuum cleaner creates suction that picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the dirt to
the dust cup thrRXJK WKH DLUpow passages. The dust Cup lets the air pass through, while it
traps the dirt.
For best cleaning results, keep the
DLUpow passage open. Check the
starred areas occasionally for clogs.
