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, and

designed for single use only.

Do not attempt to re-use them as

suction would be reduced.

Checking the dustbag change

indicator

^ Attach the standard floorhead to the

suction tube. Do not use any of the

other floorheads or attachments as

they will cause the dustbag change

indicator to give a false reading.

^ Switch the vacuum cleaner on and

select the highest power setting.

^ 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 lot 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!

Both these extremes can occur.
