When to change the dustbag
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).
Dustbags are designed for single
use only.
Do not attempt to re-use them as
suction would be reduced.
Checking the dustbag change
indicator
^
Attach the standard floorhead to the
suction tube.
^
Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
^
Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.
How the dustbag change indicator
works
The indicator is designed to measure
the air permeability of a dustbag
containing a mixture of household dust
made up of: dust, hair, carpet fluff,
threads, grit etc.
However, if the cleaner is 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 the bag will need to be
changed.
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.
