Maintenance and care

Dustbag change indicator

This indicator shows when the dustbag needs to be changed.

Only test with the rug and floor tool, since other accessories can affect the function of the dustbag change indicator.

^Set the suction power selector (if present) to the highest setting and close the air inlet valve.

^Lift the rug and floor tool off the floor.

^The dustbag should be changed if the red marker completely fills the indicator window, even if the dustbag is not completely full.

The indicator measures the airflow through the dustbag.

Vacuuming up even a small bit of fine dust such as flour, ash or powder can cause enough of a drop in airflow to cause a "full bag" indication, even though the dustbag appears almost empty. In this instance the dustbag must be changed as suction power is reduced when the pores of the dustbag are blocked.

On the other hand, the bag may be bulging with carpet lint or pet fur yet the suction power may still be high enough. The dustbag should be changed.

Either of these extremes can occur during normal use. The dustbag change indicator is designed for a mixture of carpet lint, pet fur, hair, sand, etc. vacuumed during normal household cleaning.

We recommend

1.If you vacuum a lot of fine dust or sand:

^Change the dustbag as soon as the red marker fills the indicator window, even if the bag is not full.

2.If you vacuum a lot of hair, pet fur or loose carpet lint, the indicator will show only reduced suction when in fact the bag is full.

^Change the dustbag as soon as it physically full, even if the dustbag change indicator shows that it is not.
