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).
Miele dustbags are disposable.
Dispose of full dustbags.
Do not continue to use them once
they are full as blocked pores
reduce the efficiency of the vacuum
cleaner.
Checking the dustbag change
indicator
^ Attach the standard floorhead to the
telescopic wand. Do not use any of
the other floorheads or attachments
as they will cause the dustbag
change indicator to give a false
reading.
^ Switch on the vacuum cleaner using
the On/Off foot control s, and select
the highest power setting on the
handle.
^
Lift the floorhead off the floor a little. If
the marker completely fills the
dustbag 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. Normal
household dust would contain a mixture
of dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, grit
etc.
However, if the vacuum cleaner has
been used to suck up fine dust, 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, you have
vacuumed up a large amount of hair
and carpet fluff which typically contains
a lot of air, the indicator may fail to
react even though the bag is full. You
should still change it!
