Self-Empty Station
Replacing the dust bag
To replace the dust bag in Dustin’s Charging and Self-empty Station:
1. Open the lid, pull the card up and remove the bag. The card will seal the bag so debris can’t get out.
2. Drop the full bag into the trash.
3. Install a new dust bag: slide the card into the guide rails inside the station. Move down the card to make sure the bag is open. Closing the lid can also place the card into place.
If the dust bag’s opening is closed or if it is not aligned with the air pathway opening on the Charging Station, the indicator light on the charging station turns Red.
What to do:
1. Open the lid, remove the dust bag and clean any visible debris from the air pathway opening, then slide the dust bag back into the guide rails. Press the card down to open the dust bag, then close the lid.
2. Let Dustin dock and press “Empty Bin” on the app, or initiate a self-empty by pressing the Charge button on Dustin while he’s docked on the charging station.
3. If air is able to flow freely, the indicator light turns off.
Note that the light is blue if there is no self-empty trouble and Dustin is removed from the charging station.
Cleaning and removing clogged debris
Over time, debris can build up on Dustin’s charging contacts, inside the Charging and Self-empty Station, and on the Charging Station Indicator window. To clean them, use a clean, dry cloth to wipe these areas thoroughly.
