Changing the dust bag and filters
Replacing the dust bag
17
Figure
If the dust bag change indicator flashes red when the
floor tool is lifted from the floor and the highest
suction power setting has been selected, the dust
bag must be changed, even though it may not yet be
full.
Even if the dust bag is not full, it may still need
changing, due to the type of dust which has been
vacuumed.
If the dust bag is not changed, despite the "replace
dust bag indicator" flashing red, after a while the
indicator remains permanently lit in red and the
vacuum cleaner switches back to the lowest power
setting.
The vacuum power setting cannot be changed until
you have switched the appliance off and on again.
