In some cases, the dustbag-full indicator can indicate that the dustbag is full, even though it is not.

This may occur if the pores of the dustbag are clogged (e.g. when you have vacuumed ashes, ne

sand, lime, cement dust and similar substances) or if something is blocking the nozzle, tube and/or

hose. If the pores of the dustbag are clogged, you have to replace the dustbag, even if it is not full

yet. If the dustbag is not clogged but not full either, something is blocking the nozzle, tube and/or

hose. In this case, do not replace the dustbag but remove the obstruction.
