HOW TO DISPOSE DUST
 The vacuum cleaner is
equipped with the dust
indicator (change to red
colour). When the dust
indicator shows that the dust
bag is full, you should dispose
dust.
 If the dust bag is not full, but
the indicator shows that it is
full, the suction nozzle, hose,
or extension pipe could be
blocked. Then, unblock the
obstacle.
 If the vacuum cleaner takes in
excessive amount of fibre
(thread, cottony material, etc.)
the indicator may not change
to red colour even if the dust
bag is full.
