There are three conditions that will cause
the indicator to become completely red:
1. The bag is full; change the bag.
2. Very fine materials have been picked
up, clogging the bag pores; change the
bag.
3. There is a blockage in the nozzle,
hose, tools or at the bag opening; remove
the blockage (see "Clearing blockages"

Filter bag

When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time. It is
recommended that you change the filter
bag when dirt reaches the dotted line. If
more dirt than this accumulates, your
cleaner will not operate effectively.
NOTE: All new carpet has loose fibers
which can fill the bag quickly while
vacuuming. This type of debris does not
activate the "Check Bag" indicator
available on some models.
So, if you are using the cleaner on new
carpet, be sure to change the filter bag
often, even if you have a "Check Bag"
indicator and it does not show red.
CAUTION: Very fine materials, such as
face powder, cornstarch, fireplace
ashes or fireplace soot, may seal the
filter bag and may cause it to burst
even though it is only partially full of
dirt. When cleaner is used to remove
material of this nature, change filter
bag often.
