Abstract

A method for operating a vacuum cleaner having a fan, an electronic control system for the fan and/or another load, and a dust chamber for receiving an air-permeable dust bag, includes providing the dust bag with an identifier, and providing the vacuum cleaner with an identifying device associated with the electronic control system and configured to identify the identifier. When the identifier fails to be identified, at least one of the fan and the other load is controlled using the electronic control system so as to reduce at least one parameter associated with an intake of dust into the dust bag.
