 Tilt the vacuum cleaner until you can
easily see the color marker in the Fil-
terBag change indicator. The front of
the Powerbrush will lift up as you do
this.
If the marker completely fills the Fil-
terBag change indicator, you should re-
place the bag with a new one.
How the FilterBag change indicator
works
The FilterBag change indicator is set for
normal household dust. This generally
contains a mixture of dust, hair,
threads, carpet lint, 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 FilterBag 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
FilterBag because suction power will be
greatly reduced by blocked pores in the
FilterBag.
If, on the other hand, a large amount of
hair and carpet lint which typically con-
tains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the in-
dicator may fail to react even though
the bag is full. You should still change it.
Both these extremes can occur.

Replacing the FilterBag

(Fig. 24, 25, + 26)
 Raise the vacuum cleaner into the
vertical position.
 Lift the release button for the dust
compartment lid and raise the lid until
it clicks into its resting position.
 Pull the tab on the collar and swing
the bag up away from the suction
socket before taking it out of its
holder.
The FilterBag has a closing flap which
closes automatically when the dust
compartment lid is raised to prevent
any dust from escaping.
 Insert the new FilterBag into the
holder as far as it will go. Leave the
bag folded up when you take it out of
the box.
 It should then be unfolded as far as
possible in the dust compartment.
 Close the dust compartment lid se-
curely, making sure it clicks into posi-
tion. Take care not to pinch the Fil-
terBag in the lid when doing so. The
FilterBag is then automatically guided
into position for vacuuming.

An empty operation lock pre-
vents the dust compartment lid from
closing without a FilterBag in place.
Do not attempt to force the lid shut!
When to change the dust compart-
ment filter
Replace this filter every time you start a
new packet of FilterBags. A dust com-
partment filter is supplied with every
packet of Miele FilterBags.
