Page 6
en - Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the cable is damaged.
If the cable is damaged it must be replaced together with a complete cable rewind. For safety reasons this work must be done by the Miele Service Department or a Miele au­thorised service technician.
When vacuuming, in particular fine dust, e.g. sawdust,
sand, plaster, flour, talcum powder etc., electrostatic charges build up naturally. Under certain conditions these charges will be released. To avoid the unpleasant effects of these discharges, a metal inlay has been incorporated into the underside of the handle. Please make sure that you keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during vacuuming.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with a
dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from the mains supply.
Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorised
service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons can cause considerable danger to users.
Correct use
To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum
cleaner without the dustbag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter in place.
The dust compartment cover will not close without a
dustbag fitted. Do not force it.
34

en - Caring for the environment
Disposal of packing material
The packaging is designed to protect against transportation damage. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environment­ally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufactur­ing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags,etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Disposing of the dustbag and filters
Dustbags and filters are made from en­vironmentally friendly materials, and can be disposed of with the normal house­hold waste, as long as they have been used exclusively for general household dust.
Disposing of your old appli­ance
Before disposing of your old appliance remove the dustbag and filters and dis­pose of them with your household waste.
Electrical and electronic equipment of­ten contains valuable materials. These include substances which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be poten­tially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, es­sential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your domestic waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com­munity waste collection / recycling centre, or contact your dealer for ad­vice.
40
Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Notes on Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 665/2013 and 666/2013
This vacuum cleaner is a domestic va­cuum cleaner and is classified as a uni­versal vacuum cleaner in accordance with the above delegated regulations.
These operating instructions, the EU data sheet and the energy efficiency la­bel for this vacuum cleaner are available to download on the Miele website at www.miele.co.uk.
The annual energy consumption stated on the data sheet and on the energy ef­ficiency label describes the indicative annual energy consumption (kWh per year), based on 50 cleaning cycles. Ac­tual energy consumption depends on how the vacuum cleaner is used.
All tests and calculations were carried out according to the following harmon­ised standards applicable at the time in due consideration of the published reg­ulation guidelines of the European Commission from September 2014: a) EN 60312-1 Vacuum cleaners for household use - Part 1: Dry vacuum cleaners - Methods for measuring the performance b) EN 60704-2-1 Household and similar electrical appliances - Test code for the determination of airborne acoustical noise - Part 2-1: Particular requirements for vacuum cleaners c) EN 60335-2-2 Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-2: Particular requirements for vacuum cleaner and water suction appliances
Not all floorheads and accessories sup­plied with the vacuum cleaner are suit­able for intensive cleaning of carpets or hard floors as described in the regula­tions. The following floorheads and set­tings were used to determine the val­ues:
a) For energy consumption, cleaning class and sound power level on carpet the adjustable floorhead supplied was used in the carpet position (see "Pre­paring for use").
b) For energy consumption and clean­ing class on hard floors the adjustable floorhead supplied was used in the hard floor position (see "Preparing for use"). If your vacuum cleaner is supplied as standard with the SRD hard floor brush, this is designed for intensive vacuuming of hard floors with gaps and crevices and will have been used to determine the above values on hard floors.
The values on the EU data sheet and the energy efficiency label refer exclus­ively to the combinations and settings of floorheads on the different floor sur­faces described here.
Original Miele dustbags, dust compart­ment filters and exhaust filters were used for all measurements.

To open the air inlet valve (dia. 25 + 26)
(not on models with radio-controls on the handle)
It is easy to reduce the suction power for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or other objects being sucked into the va­cuum cleaner.
Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction power.
The floorhead will be easier to man­oeuvre.
During vacuuming
When vacuuming, pull the cleaner be-
hind you on its wheels. You can stand it upright for vacuuming stairs and curtains etc.
When vacuuming, in particular
fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster, flour, talcum powder etc., electro­static charges build up naturally. Un­der certain conditions these charges will be released. To avoid the un­pleasant effects of these discharges, a metal inlay has been incorporated into the underside of the handle. Please make sure that you keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during vacuuming (dia. 27 + 28).
Interrupting operation (dia. 24)
(for models with radio controls on the handle)
The vacuum cleaner can be paused for short breaks whilst vacuuming.
Press the Standby button on the
handle.
46
Page 19
en
The Standby button is designed
to pause the vacuum cleaner for short periods of time whilst vacuum­ing. Do not leave the vacuum cleaner in Standby mode for long periods. Otherwise there is a risk of overheat­ing and damage.
An LED will indicate each time a button is pressed on the handle.

The vacuum cleaner switches off auto­matically when the floorhead or floor­brush is slotted into the parking attach­ment. When it is removed from the parking attachment, the vacuum cleaner switches back on at the previ­ously selected power level.
Park system for storage (dia. 30)
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical supply when you have finished using it. Switch it off at the wall socket and unplug it.
Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.
Retract the telescopic tube fully so that the vacuum cleaner takes up less room for storage.
Setting down, transportation and storage
Park System for pauses during vacu­uming (dia. 29)
The Park system allows you to conveni­ently park the suction tube and floor­head during pauses.
Slot the floorhead or floorbrush into
the parking attachment on the va-
cuum cleaner.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a slop­ing surface, e.g. a ramp, retract the telescopic tube fully.
Slot the floorhead downwards into
one of the parking attachments on the side of the vacuum cleaner.
This makes the vacuum cleaner easier to carry or store.
Maintenance
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical supply for maintenance work and for cleaning. Switch off at the wall socket and un­plug it.
The Miele filtration system consists of three components:
– Dustbag
47
Page 20
en
– Dust compartment filter (for motor
protection) – Exhaust filter These will need to be replaced from
time to time to ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs efficiently.
We recommend only using genuine dustbags, filters and accessories with the "Original Miele" logo on them. This will ensure that the suc­tion power of the vacuum cleaner is maintained, giving the best possible cleaning results.
Dustbags with the "Original Miele" logo on them are not made from pa­per or paper-based materials and nor do they have a cardboard collar. This is why our dustbags are particularly long-lasting and reliable.
Please note that appliance faults and damage originating from the use of accessories which do not carry the "Original Miele" logo will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Purchasing new dustbags and filters
Original Miele dustbags and filters can be ordered from Miele, your Miele dealer, or from the Miele Webshop.
Ordering the correct dustbags and filters
Only use original Miele G/N dustbags with a blue collar and original Miele fil­ters. These are identified by the "Ori­ginal Miele" logo on the packaging or directly on the dustbag.
An AirClean filter and a dust compart­ment filter are supplied with every packet of Miele dustbags.
These can also be purchased separ­ately from your Miele Dealer, from Miele or from the Miele Webshop. Please quote the model number of your va­cuum cleaner when ordering to make sure you get the correct filter.
When to change the dustbag (dia. 31)
Change the dustbag when the colour marker in the dustbag change indicator turns red, or sooner if it is no longer ef­fective (see possible reasons for this below).
Miele dustbags are disposable and designed for single use only. Dispose of the dustbag when full. Do not at­tempt to reuse. Blocked pores in used dustbags will reduce the suc­tion power of the vacuum cleaner.
To check the dustbag change indic­ator
Attach the standard adjustable floor-
head to the vacuum cleaner.
Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
48
Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.

en
How the dustbag change indicator works
The dustbag change indicator is set for normal household dust. This generally contains a mixture of dust, hair, threads, carpet fluff, grit etc.
However, if the cleaner has been used to vacuum up fine dust, such as plaster, brick dust, cement or flour, the pores of the dustbag will become blocked very quickly. This affects the air permeability of the bag, and the marker will indicate that the bag is "full" even when it is not. If this happens you must still change the dustbag because suction power will be greatly reduced by blocked pores in the dustbag.
If, on the other hand, a large amount of hair and carpet fluff which typically con­tains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the in­dicator may fail to react even though the bag is full. You should still change it. Both these extremes can occur.
How to replace the dustbag (dia. 32 + 33)
Press the release buttons at the side
of the hose connector, and lift the hose from the socket (dia. 02).
Lift the release catch for the dust
compartment lid and raise the lid as far as it will go (dia. 10).
The dustbag has a closing flap which closes automatically when the dust compartment lid is raised to prevent any dust escaping.
Pull the dustbag out by the grip on
the collar.
Fit the new dustbag into the blue
holder as far as it will go. Leave it fol-
ded up when you take it out of the box.
It should be unfolded as far as pos-
sible in the dust compartment.
Close the dust compartment lid se-
curely, making sure it clicks into posi­tion. Take care not to trap the dust­bag when doing so.
The lid will not close without a dust­bag in place. Do not force it!
Insert the hose connector into the
suction socket on the vacuum cleaner until it clicks into position. To do this, line up the guides on the two pieces (dia. 01).
When to change the dust compart­ment filter (for motor protection)
Replace this filter every time you start a new packet of dustbags. A dust com­partment filter is supplied with every packet of Miele dustbags.
How to change the dust compart­ment filter (dia. 34)
Open the dust compartment lid.Pull the dustbag out by the grip on
the collar.
Open the blue filter frame fully and
remove the old filter. Hold by the clean, unsoiled section to remove it.
Replace with a new dust compart-
ment filter.
Close the filter frame.Fit the dustbag into the blue holder
as far as it will go.

Close the dust compartment lid se-
curely, making sure it clicks into posi­tion. Take care not to trap the dust­bag when doing so.
When to replace the exhaust filter
Depending on model, your vacuum cleaner will be fitted as standard with one of the following exhaust filters (dia.
09). a AirClean
Replace this filter every time you start a new packet of Miele dustbags. An AirClean exhaust filter is supplied with every packet of Miele dustbags.
b Active AirClean 50 (black) c AirClean Plus 50 (light blue) d HEPA AirClean 50 (white)
Replace if the display for the exhaust fil­ter change indicator is completely filled with red (dia. 14). This occurs after ap­prox. 50 hours of operation which is equivalent to about a year of average use. The vacuum cleaner can still be used. However, the suction power will be reduced as will the effectiveness of the filter if it is not replaced in good time.
Replace it with a new AirClean filter.
If you wish to fit an Active AirClean 50, AirClean Plus 50 or HEPA AirClean 50, see "Maintenance - Re­placing one type of exhaust filter with another".

Problem solving guide
Problem Cause and remedy
The vacuum cleaner switches off automatic­ally. On certain models, the overheating warning light also comes on .
A temperature limiter switches the vacuum cleaner off automatically if it gets too hot. This can occur if, for instance, large articles block the suction tube or when the dustbag is full or contains particles of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or dust compartment filter can also be the cause of overheating.
Switch the vacuum cleaner off immediately using
the On/Off foot control . Disconnect from the electricity supply. Switch off at the wall socket and unplug it.
After removing the cause, wait for approximately 20 ­30 minutes to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down. It can then be switched on again.
