en-US  Tilt the vacuum cleaner until you can easily see the color marker in the FilterBag change indicator. The front of the Powerbrush will lift up as you do this. If the marker completely fills the FilterBag change indicator, you should replace the bag with a new one.  Pull the tab on the collar and swing the bag up away from the suction socket before taking it out of its holder. The FilterBag has a closing flap which closes automatically when the dust compartment lid is raised to prevent any dust from escaping. How the FilterBag change indicator works The FilterBag change indicator is set for normal household dust. This generally contains a mixture of dust, hair, threads, carpet lint, 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 FilterBag 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 FilterBag because suction power will be greatly reduced by blocked pores in the FilterBag. If, on the other hand, a large amount of hair and carpet lint 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.  Insert the new FilterBag into the holder as far as it will go. Leave the bag folded up when you take it out of the box.  It should then be unfolded as far as possible in the dust compartment.  Close the dust compartment lid securely, making sure it clicks into position. Take care not to pinch the FilterBag in the lid when doing so. The FilterBag is then automatically guided into position for vacuuming.  An empty operation lock pre- vents the dust compartment lid from closing without a FilterBag in place. Do not attempt to force the lid shut! When to change the dust compartment filter Replace this filter every time you start a new packet of FilterBags. A dust compartment filter is supplied with every packet of Miele FilterBags. Replacing the FilterBag (Fig. 24, 25, + 26)  Raise the vacuum cleaner into the vertical position.  Lift the release button for the dust compartment lid and raise the lid until it clicks into its resting position. Changing the dust compartment filter (Fig. 27)  Open the dust compartment lid.  Remove the FilterBag. 19
