How the FilterBag change indicator

works

The FilterBag change indicator is set for

normal household dust. This generally

contains a mixture of dust, hair,

threads, carpet lint, grit, etc.

However, if the cleaner has been used

to vacuum up fine dust, such as plaster,

brick dust, cement or flour, the pores of

the FilterBag will become blocked very

quickly.

This affects the air permeability of the

bag, and the marker will indicate that

the bag is "full" even when it is not. If

this happens you must still change the

FilterBag because suction power will be

greatly reduced by blocked pores in the

FilterBag.

If, on the other hand, a large amount of

hair and carpet lint which typically con-

tains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the in-

dicator may fail to react even though

the bag is full. You should still change it.

Both these extremes can occur.

 Press the release buttons at the side

of the hose connector, and remove

the hose from the suction opening.

 Lift the release button for the dust

compartment lid and raise the lid until

it engages.

The FilterBag has a closing flap which

closes automatically when the dust

compartment lid is raised to prevent

any dust escaping.
