Replacing the dust bag
28
Figure
If the filter status indicator flashes when the nozzle
is lifted from the floor and the highest suction set-
ting is set and then, after a short while, switches to
a permanent red, the dust bag must be changed,
even if it does not appear to be full. In this case it is
essential to change the dust bag due to the type of
material it contains.
As soon as the indicator switches to permanent red,
the vacuum cleaner is switched down to the next
power setting.
The vacuum power setting cannot be changed until
you have switched the appliance off and on again.
Open the dust container lid by moving the locking
lever in the direction of the arrow.

Caution: the dust container lid will only close if a

inserted.
If the filter status indicator still flashes red after the
dust bag has been changed, please check whether
the nozzle, tube or flexible hose is blocked.
