^ Turn the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
^ Lift the floor brush slightly off the
floor. If the marker completely fills the
indicator window, the FilterBag needs
to be changed.
How the FilterBag change indicator
works
The airflow indicator is designed to
show when the bag is full of common
household dust and measures the
amount of air flow through the FilterBag.
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 FilterBag may become
blocked. The marker will indicate that
the bag is "full" even when it is not. The
FilterBag should be changed as the
suction power is greatly reduced.
If the bag is bulging with pet fur, hair,
carpet fluff, etc. the indicator may not
register "full". This is because the air
flow of the FilterBag may still be high
enough not to activate the marker to
show maximum. The FilterBag should
still be changed.

Replacing the FilterBag

(see fig. 17 and 18)
^ Open the dust compartment lid and

The FilterBag has a closing flap which
closes automatically when the dust
compartment lid is raised to prevent
