Dustbag airflow indicator (Fig. 34)
Change the dustbag when the airflow
indicator turns red, or sooner if it is no
longer effective (see possible reasons
for this below).
Blocked pores reduce the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner.
Dispose of the dustbag when it is full.
Do not attempt to re-use the dustbag.
To check the airflow indicator
 Attach the standard adjustable floor-
head to the vacuum cleaner.

 Switch the vacuum cleaner on and se-
lect the highest power setting.
 Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.
How the airflow indicator works
The airflow 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
the bag is "full" even when it is not. The
dustbag must be replaced if this is the
case.
If, on the other hand, a large amount of
hair and carpet fluff 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.
Removing the dustbag (Fig. 35)
 Press the release catches at the side
of the hose connector and pull the
hose out of the suction opening (Fig.
02).
 Lift the release catch for the dust
compartment lid and raise the lid as
far as it will go (Fig. 09).
The dustbag has a flap which closes
automatically when the dust compart-
ment lid is raised to prevent any dust
escaping.
 Pull the dustbag out by the grip on the
collar.
