When To Change The Dustbag - Miele S 6210 Operating Instructions Manual

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.
Miele dustbags are disposable.
Dispose of full dustbags. Do not
continue to use them once they are
full as blocked pores reduce the
efficiency of the vacuum cleaner.
Checking the dustbag change
indicator
^ Attach the standard floorhead to the
suction tube. Do not use any of the
other floorheads or attachments as
they will cause the dustbag change
indicator to give a false reading.
^ Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
^ Lift the floorhead off the floor a little. If
the marker completely fills the
dustbag change indicator, you
should replace the dustbag with a
new one.
Maintenance and care
How the dustbag change indicator
works
The dustbag change indicator is set for
normal household dust. Normal house-
hold dust would contain a mixture of
dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, grit etc.
However, if the vacuum cleaner has
been used to suck up fine dust, the
pores of the dustbag 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 dustbag because
suction power will be greatly reduced
by blocked pores in the dustbag.
If, on the other hand, you have
vacuumed up a large amount of hair
and carpet fluff which typically contains
a lot of air, the indicator may fail to
react even though the bag is full. You
should still change it!
