Suction Power by using the Indicator (On model series: 2412) The suction power indicator tells you when the air flow in your vacuum is reduced due to dirty filters or a clog in the hose. The suction power indicator will remain green until the airflow is reduced. At that time, it begins to change to red. When it is fully red, the airflow is significantly reduced by a dirty filter or clog. Follow the steps on page 12 for clearing a clog. Follow the steps on pages 9 and 10 to clean your filters. All filters in the vacuum should be cleaned or replaced when the clean filter indicator turns red. NOTE: When your vacuum is turned off, the suction power indicator will go to the green color setting. The suction power indicator only detects reductions in airflow when the vacuum power is on.
