Filter bag When to replace Check filter bag from time to time. It is recommended that you change the filter bag when dirt reaches the dotted line. If more dirt than this accumulates, your cleaner will not operate effectively. Note: All new carpet has loose fibers which can fill the bag quickly while vacuuming. This type of debris does not activate the "Check bag" indicator. So, if you are using the cleaner on new carpet, be sure to change the filter bag often, even if the "Check bag" indicator does not show red. CAUTION: Very fine materials, such as face powder or cornstarch, may seal the filter bag and may cause it to burst even though it is only partially full of dirt. When cleaner is used to remove material of this nature, change filter bag often.
