How the dustbag change indicator works
The indicator is designed to show when the bag is full of dust by measuring the air permeability of the dustbag. Normal household dust is a mixture of dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, grit, etc.
However, if an amount of fine dust, such as plaster, brick dust, cement or flour is vacuumed, the pores of the dustbag become blocked very quickly. The marker will indicate that the bag is "full", even when it is not. In this instance, the dustbag must be changed as suction power is reduced.
If, on the other hand, a large quantity of hair, wool or carpet fluff is vacuumed, the dustbag indicator may not register "full" until the bag is absolutely bulging. This is because the air permeability of the dustbag may still be high enough not to activate the marker to show the bag is full. The dustbag should still be changed. Check the dustbag change indicator regularly.
Checking the dustbag change indicator
^ Turn the vacuum cleaner on.
^ Tilt the floor tool from the floor while the body wand is locked. If the red marker fills the indicator window, change the dustbag, even if it is not completely filled.
