,Always disconnect the vacuumcleaner from the electrical supply for

maintenance work and for cleaning.

The Miele filter system consists of threefilters which must be replaced fromtime to time to ensure that your cleanerperforms efficiently.

Dustbag

Exhaust filter

Dust compartment filter (for motorprotection)

Only use genuine Miele approved

dustbags and filters. This ensures

that your vacuum cleaner functions

correctly and cleans hygienically.

,The use of non-Miele approveddustbags, paper dustbags as well

as dustbags with cardboard holderscan cause serious damage to the

vacuum cleaner and will invalidate

your warranty.

Purchasing new dustbags andfilters

Genuine Miele dustbags can be

ordered via the internet atwww.miele-shop.com, or from the MieleCustomer Contact Centre (see backcover for contact details) or from yourMiele Vacuum Cleaner Specialist.

Ordering the correct dustbagsand filters

You can recognise genuine Mieledustbags type G/N and genuine Mielefilters by the "Original Miele"-Logo onthe packaging or on the dustbags.

An Air Clean exhaust filter and a dustcompartment filter are supplied withevery packet of Miele dustbags. If youwish to purchase exhaust filters or dustcompartment filters separately, pleasequote the model number of yourappliance when ordering to ensure youget the correct items.

You can replace the exhaust filter fitted

in the vacuum cleaner with one of theother Miele exhaust filters if you wish(see "Optional accessories").


23


24/44

When to change the dustbag

Change the dustbag when the colourmarker in the dustbag change indicator

fills the display, or sooner if it is nolonger effective (see possible reasonsfor this below).

Miele dustbags are disposable, and

designed for single use only.

Do not attempt to re-use them as

suction would be reduced.

Checking the dustbag changeindicator

^ Attach the standard floorhead to thesuction tube. Do not use any of theother floorheads or attachments asthey will cause the dustbag changeindicator to give a false reading.

^ Switch on the vacuum cleaner usingthe On/Off foot control s, and selectthe highest power setting.

^ Lift the floorhead off the floor a little. Ifthe marker completely fills thedustbag change indicator, you shouldreplace the dustbag with a new one.

How the dustbag change indicator

works

The dustbag change indicator is set fornormal household dust. Normalhousehold dust would contain a mixtureof dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, gritetc.

However, if the vacuum cleaner hasbeen used to suck up fine dust, thepores of the dustbag will becomeblocked very quickly. This affects theair permeability of the bag, and themarker will indicate that the bag is "full"even when it is not. If this happens youmust still change the dustbag because

suction power will be greatly reducedby blocked pores in the dustbag.

If, on the other hand, you havevacuumed up a large amount of hairand carpet fluff which typically containsa lot of air, the indicator may fail toreact even though the bag is full. Youshould still change it!

Both these extremes can occur.


24


25/44

Replacing the dustbag

^ Press the release button for the dustcompartment lid and raise the lid as

far as it will go.

The dustbag has a closing flap whichcloses automatically when the dustcompartment lid is raised to preventany dust escaping.

^ Pull the dustbag out by the grip nextto the self-closing flap on the collar.

^ Fit the new dustbag into the holder asfar as it will go. Leave it folded up

when you take it out of the box.

^ It should be unfolded in the dustcompartment.

^ Close the dust compartment lidsecurely, making sure it clicks intoposition. Take care not to trap thedustbag when doing so.

,The lid will not close without adustbag in place, or if the dustbag is

incorrectly fitted. Do not force it.


25


26/44

When to change the exhaustfilter

Depending on the model, your vacuum

cleaner will be fitted as standard withone of the following exhaust filters:

a an Air Clean filter SF-AC 30

b an Active Air Clean filter SF-AAC 50(black)c an Active HEPA filter SF-AH 50 (blue)

These types of filter need to bechanged approximately once a year.Make a note of the date on the filter.

Exhaust filter change indicator

filter.

The indicator lights up afterapproximately 50 hours of operation,which is equivalent to about a year ofaverage use. You can continuevacuuming when the light comes on.However, the suction power will bereduced as will the effectiveness of thefilter if it is not replaced in good time.

The filter change indicator light isirrelevant if an Air Clean filter (a) isbeing used, as long as it is replaced

every time a new packet of Mieledustbags is started. The indicator lightwill go out when the reset button ispressed.

The vacuum cleaner switches off

automatically.

On certain models, the overheating

warning light also comes on.

A temperature limiter switches thevacuum cleaner off automatically if itgets too hot. Some models also have awarning light, which comes on toindicate that it has overheated.

This can occur if, for instance, largearticles block the suction tube or whenthe filter bag is full or contains particlesof fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust ordust compartment filter can also be thecause of overheating. Switch thevacuum cleaner off immediately usingthe On/Off foot controls. Disconnectfrom the electricity supply. Switch off atthe wall socket and remove the plug.

After removing the cause, wait for

approximately 20 - 30 minutes to allowthe vacuum cleaner to cool down. Itcan then be switched on again.
