How to Disassemble a Rainbow Vacuum

Rainbow brand vacuum differ from other brands of vacuums because they collect dust and debris into a basin of water, instead of using vacuum bags or traditional bagless canisters. Disassemble the unit after each use. Do not store the power unit on top of the water basin -- this helps prolong the life of the unit. Only place the power unit on top of the basin while vacuuming.

Things You'll Need

• Drain
• Gloves or plastic bag
• Trash can
• Large sink
• Towels

Instructions

1. Wind the cord around the power unit.

2. Remove any hose attachments and replace them on the attachment caddy.

3. Release the hose coupling from the vacuum unit by pressing both side latches at the same time; pull the hose away from the machine. Set the hoses aside in your storage area.

4. Release the two side latches found on the opposite sides of the vacuum unit and lift the unit straight up. Set aside in your storage area.

5. Pour the dirty water down an appropriate drain or outside. Excess heavy debris will settle to the bottom of the basin.

6. Remove the debris from the basin by hand, with gloves or use a plastic bag. Dispose of the debris into the trash can.

7. Rinse the basin with water to remove any remaining residue. Dry the basin with towels; this helps eliminate odors and the growth of bacteria and germs. Set aside in your storage area.
