How The Dustbag Change Indicator Works
The indicator is designed to show when the bag is full of dust by measuring the air permeability of the dustbag. Normal household dust, hair,carpet fluff ,threads, grit. etc. However ,if an amount of fine dust,such as plaster,brick dust,cement, or flour is vacuumed, the pores of the dust bag become blocked very quickly. The marker will indicate that the bag is "full",even when it is not. in this instance,the dustbag must be changed as suction power is reduced.
Checking The Dustbag Change indicator
1.Turn the vacuum cleaner on.
2. Tilt the floor tool from the floor while the body wand is locked.If the red marker fills the indicator window,change the dustbag,even if it is not completely filled.
