When to change the dustbag

Change the dustbag when the colored marker in the dustbag change indicator fills the display.

Miele dust bags are disposable and intended to be used only once. Do not attempt to reuse.

Checking the dustbag change indicator

^Attach the floor brush to the vacuum cleaner. Only test with the floor brush, since other attachments can affect the function of the dustbag change indicator.

^Turn the vacuum cleaner on and select the highest power setting.

^Lift the floor brush off the floor a little. If the marker completely fills the indicator window, then the bag needs to be changed.

How the dustbag change indicator works

The indicator is designed to show when the bag is full of common household dust and works by measuring the air permeability of the dustbag. Normal household dust is a mixture of dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, sand etc.

However, if fine dust, such as drill dust, sand, plaster or flour is vacuumed, the pores of the dustbag become blocked. 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 when the pores of the dustbag are blocked.

If, on the other hand, a large quantity of hair, wool or carpet fluff is vacuumed, the dustbag change indicator may not register "full" even though the bag is full. This is because the air permeability of the dustbag may still be high enough not to activate the marker to show maximum. The dustbag should still be changed.
