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

(Figs. 36 + 37)
 Press the release buttons at the side
of the hose connector, and remove
the hose from the suction opening
(Fig. 02).
 Lift the release button for the dust
compartment lid and raise the lid until
it engages (Fig. 10).

The FilterBag has a closing flap which
closes automatically when the dust
compartment lid is raised to prevent
any dust escaping.
 Pull the FilterBag out by the grip on
the collar.
 Insert the new FilterBag into the blue
holder as far as it will go. Leave it
folded up when you take it out of the
box.
 It should be unfolded as far as possi-
ble in the dust compartment.
 Close the dust compartment lid se-
curely, making sure it clicks into posi-
tion. Take care not to trap the Fil-
terBag when doing so.
An empty operation lock prevents
the FilterBag from closing without a
FilterBag in place. Do not force it!
 Insert the hose connector into the
suction socket on the vacuum
cleaner until it clicks into position. To
do this, line up the guides on the two
pieces (Fig. 01).
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.
