How the dustbag change indicator

The dustbag change 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. 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, a large amount of

hair and carpet fluff which typically

contains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the

indicator may fail to react even though

the bag is full. You should still change

it. Both these extremes can occur.
