When to change the dustbag
Change the dustbag when the colour
marker in the dustbag change indicator
fills the display, or sooner if it is no
longer effective (see possible reasons
for this below).
Miele dustbags are designed for
single use only. Dispose of full
dustbags. Do not attempt to re-use.
Blocked pores reduce the efficiency
of the cleaner.
Checking the dustbag change
indicator
^ Attach the standard floorhead to the
suction tube.
^ Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
^ Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.
Maintenance and care
How the dustbag change indicator
works
The indicator is designed to measure
the air permeability of a dustbag
containing a mixture of household dust
made up of: dust, hair, carpet fibre,
threads, grit etc.
However, if the vacuum cleaner has
been used to suck up fine dust, such
as plaster, brick dust, cement or flour,
the pores of the dustbag 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 the
bag will need to be changed.
If, on the other hand, a large amount of
hair and carpet fluff which typically
contains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the
indicator may fail to react even though
the bag is full. You should still change
it! Both these extremes can occur.
