How To Replace The Dustbag - Miele HS08 Operating Instructions Manual

Miele dustbags are disposable and
designed for single use only.
Dispose of the dustbag when full.
Do not attempt to reuse. Blocked
pores in used dustbags will reduce
the suction power of the vacuum
cleaner.
^ Raise the vacuum cleaner into the
vertical position.
^ Switch the vacuum cleaner on with
the On / Off button on the handle and
select highest power setting.
^ Tilt the vacuum cleaner until you can
see the colour marker in the dustbag
change indicator easily. The front of
the Electrobrush will lift up as you do
this.
If the marker completely fills the dust-
bag change indicator, you should
replace the dustbag with a new one.
How the dustbag change indicator
works
The dustbag change indicator is set for
normal household dust. This generally
contains a mixture of dust, hair, carpet
fluff, threads, grit etc.
However, if the cleaner has been used
to vacuum up fine dust, such as
plaster, brick dust, cement or flour, 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, a large amount of
hair and carpet fluff which typically
contains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the
indicator may fail to react even though
the bag is full. You should still change
it. Both these extremes can occur.
How to replace the dustbag (dia. 24,
25 + 26)
^ Raise the vacuum cleaner into the
vertical position.
^ Raise the release button and open
the lid to its resting position.
^ Pull on the tab at the side of the collar
and swing the bag up away from the
suction socket before taking it out of
its holder.
The dustbag has a closing flap which
closes automatically when the dust
compartment lid is raised to prevent
any dust escaping.
^ Fit the new dustbag into the holder as
far as it will go. Leave it folded up
when you take it out of the box.
^ It should be unfolded as far as
possible in the dust compartment.
^ Close the dust compartment lid
securely, making sure it clicks into
position. Take care not to trap the
dustbag when doing so. The dustbag
is then automatically guided into
position for vacuuming.

The lid will not close without a
dustbag in place. Do not force it!
