Full Dust Bag Indicator

The vacuum cleaner has a built-in pressure

safety valve. As soon as the dust bag is full

or the suction hose is blocked, the dust bag

full light will come on. If the suction power is

noticeably diminished, first check if the

suction hose is blocked. Then check if dust

bag is full. If this is the case, change it. We

recommend that the dust bag be changed

when it is 2/3 full so that full suction can

be maintained.
