You have purchased a floor vacuum cleaner which can
vacuum up any type of dry dirt using the dust contai-
ner or dust bag.
We recommend that you use:
− The dust bag principally for everyday household
cleaning.
− The dust container for DIY-related cleaning in parti-
cular
,
e.g. to vacuum up wood shavings
,
etc.
Using dust bags
Replacing the dust bag
Figure
15
If the dust bag change indicator in the lid is filled
completely when the floor tool is lifted from the
floor with the highest suction level selected
,
the
dust bag must be changed
,
even though it may not
yet be 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 flexib-
le hose are not blocked
,
as this would also lead to
the dust bag change indicator being triggered.
