Disposable filter bags may be ordered from most online shops and are recommended method of disposing of large amounts of dry dirt - just open the unit, take the bag out and replace it with a new one.

Note: For exact cleaning and maintenance procedures, check the Owner's Guide that comes with the unit. 
The cartridge air filter is washable, extending its operating life. After washing, dry it completely before assembling back into the unit.
