Miele dustbags are disposable and made to be used only once. Checking the airflow indicator ^ Attach the standard floor brush (depending on model) to the vacuum cleaner. Perform this test with the standard floor brush only, other attachments can affect the function of the airflow indicator. ^ Turn the vacuum cleaner on and select the highest power setting. ^ Lift the floor brush slightly off the floor. If the marker completely fills the indicator window, the dustbag needs to be changed. How the airflow indicator works The airflow indicator is designed to show when the bag is full of common household dust and measures the amount of air flow through the dustbag. Normal household dust is a mixture of dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, sand, etc. However, if fine dust, such as drill dust, sand, plaster or flour is vacuumed, the pores of the dustbag may become blocked. [. . . ] A heavily soiled exhaust or dust compartment filter can also be the cause of overheating. Turn the vacuum off and pull the plug from the outlet. Check for any blockages and allow the vacuum to cool for 30 minutes. 32 Technical Service In the event of a fault which you cannot fix yourself please contact the Miele Service Department at the phone number on the back of this booklet. ^ Please quote the model type of your appliance.
