FilterBag change indicator indicates full FilterBag

The FilterBag change indicator shows that the FilterBag needs to be changed despite it having been changed only recently.

The airways are blocked.

Switch the vacuum cleaner off using the On/Off footswitch.

Remove the electrical plug from the socket.

Disassemble the floorhead, hose, handle, and telescopic wand.

You can carefully push coarse particles which are jammed in the hose or in the telescopic wand toward the floorhead using a long object (e.g., a broom handle).

Items causing a blockage are usually easy to shake out of the handle.

How the FilterBag change indicator works.

The FilterBag change indicator is designed for normal household dust. This generally contains a mixture of dust, hair, threads, carpet fluff, grit, etc.
However, if the vacuum cleaner is used to vacuum up fine dust, such as sawdust, sand, plaster dust, or flour, the pores of the FilterBag will become blocked very quickly. The indicator will indicate that the FilterBag is “full” even when it is not.
If, on the other hand, you vacuum up a significant amount of hair, carpet lint, etc., the FilterBag will be full to bursting before the indicator reacts.

Replace the FilterBag to ensure that your Miele vacuum cleaner can provide the optimum cleaning performance.

The FilterBag change indicator is faulty.
