When To Change The Dustbag; How The Dustbag Change Indicator Works; How To Replace The Dustbag - Miele HS15 Operating Instructions Manual

An Air Clean exhaust filter and a dust
compartment filter are supplied with
every packet of Miele dustbags.
If you wish to purchase original Miele
exhaust filters separately, please quote
the model number of your appliance
when ordering to ensure you get the
correct items.
When to change the dustbag (dia. 28)
Change the dustbag when the colour
marker in the dustbag change indicator
fills the display, or sooner if it is no
longer effective (see possible reasons
for this below).
Miele dustbags are disposable and
designed for single use only.
Dispose of the dustbag when it is
full. Do not attempt to reuse as
suction would be reduced.
Checking the dustbag change
indicator
^ Attach the AllTeQ or AirTeQ floorhead.
^ Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the maximum power setting.
^ Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.
How the dustbag change indicator
works
The dustbag change indicator is set for
normal household dust. This generally
contains a mixture of: dust, hair,
threads, carpet fluff, 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 it 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. 29 +
30)
^ Lift the release catch for the dust
compartment lid and raise the lid as
far as it will go (dia. 11).
The dustbag has a closing flap which
closes automatically when the dust
compartment lid is raised to prevent
any dust escaping.
^ Pull the dustbag out by the grip on
the collar.
^ Fit the new dustbag into the blue
holder as far as it will go. Leave it
folded up when you take it out of the
box.
