Replacing the dust bag

Figure
a)If the dust bag change indicator is completely yellow
when the floor tool is lifted from the floor and the
highest suction power is selected, the dust bag must
be changed, even if it is not yet full. Even if the dust
bag is not full, it may still need changing, due to the
type of dust which has been vacuumed.
First check that the nozzle, suction pipe and flexible
tube are not blocked, as this would also lead to dust
bag change indicator being triggered.
b)The handle can easily be detached from the hose to
remove blockages.
