Dust escaping from around the bin or filter area, visible fine dust on exterior

Safety: Remove the battery before opening the bin or filter housing.

• Check bin fit: Remove and refit the dust bin, ensuring it clicks firmly into place.
• Inspect seals: Look for flattened, torn, or missing rubber seals around the bin and filter housing.
• Seat filters correctly: Ensure all filters are fully inserted and covers are latched.
• Replace damaged parts: If seals are worn or the bin is cracked, replace the Hoover H-Free dust bin assembly or seal kit.
