Checking the FilterBag change indi-
cator
 Attach the adjustable floorhead or the
floorbrush to the vacuum cleaner (in-
cluded as standard depending on
model).
 Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
 Lift the adjustable floorhead/floor-
brush off the floor a little.
How the FilterBag change indicator
works
The FilterBag change indicator is de-
signed for normal household dust. This
generally contains a mixture of dust,
hair, threads, carpet fluff, grit, etc.
However, if the vacuum cleaner has
been used to vacuum up fine dust, such
as drilling dust, sand, plaster dust, or
flour, the pores of the FilterBag will be-
come blocked very quickly.
The indicator will indicate that the bag
is "full" even when it is not. The Fil-
terBag must be replaced if this is the
case.
If, on the other hand, you vacuum up a
significant amount of hair, carpet lint,
etc., the FilterBag will be full to bursting
before the indicator reacts.
Replacing the FilterBag (Fig. 24)
 Press both release buttons at the side
of the hose connector, and lift the
hose from the socket (Fig. 01).
 Pull the release button for the dust
compartment lid upwards and open
the lid as far as it will go.

The FilterBag has a flap which closes
automatically when the dust compart-
ment lid is raised to prevent any dust
escaping.
 Pull the FilterBag out by the grip on
the collar.
 Insert the new FilterBag into the
holder as far as it will go. Leave the
FilterBag folded up when you take it
out of the box.
 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
dust compartment lid 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.
