If the dust bag change indicator is completely yellow when the floor tool is
lifted from the floor and the highest suction power is selected, the dust
bag must be changed, even if it is not yet full. In this case it is essential to

as this would also lead to the dust bag change indicator being triggered.
Open the cover by moving the locking lever in the direction of the arrow.

shown.
Place a new MEGAfilt
®
SuperTEX dust bag in the holder and close the dust
