Operation Micro pile adjustment Three micro pile adjustments enable individual adaptation to extreme carpeting surfaces and hard floors. Pos. 1 = normal carpeting Pos. 2 = looped pile Pos. 3 = deep-pile carpets Filter replacement indicator The filter replacement indicator analyzes the air permeability of the filter system. Filter empty = no indicator reaction Filter full = indicator shows RED Paper filter (dust bag) has to be replaced. If the filter replacement indicator still shows RED after the dust bag (paper filter) has been replaced, then the (micro) air exhaust and/or motor protection filter or the accessories are blocked. In this case, the filters have to be replaced or the blockage in the accessories has to be removed. In this case, switch off the appliance, remove the blockage and/or replace the filters. 13
