en - Caring for our environment
Disposal of packing material
The packaging is designed to protect
the vacuum cleaner from damage
during transportation. 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
These are made from environmentally
friendly materials. The filters can be
disposed of with the normal household
waste. The dustbag can also be
disposed of in this way if it has been
used exclusively for general household
dust.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Before disposing of your old appliance
remove the dustbag and all the filters
and dispose of them with your normal
household waste.
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials 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
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre, or contact your dealer for
advice.
32
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for
disposal.

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.

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 filters.
– Dustbag
– Dust compartment filter (for motor
protection)
en
The use of dustbags made from
,
paper or paper-based materials, or
dustbags with a cardboard collar, or
dustbags that do not carry the
"Original Miele" logo, can seriously
damage the vacuum cleaner and
invalidate the warranty.
Purchasing new dustbags and filters
Original Miele dustbags and filters can
be ordered from Miele, your Miele
dealer or online at:
Ordering the correct dustbags and
filters
Only use original Miele F/J/M dustbags
with a red collar and original Miele
filters. These are identified by the
"Original Miele" logo on the packaging
or directly on the dustbag.
–
Exhaust filter
These will need to be replaced from
time to time to ensure that your vacuum
cleaner performs efficiently.
Only use 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.
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 online shop. Please
quote the model number of your
vacuum cleaner when ordering to make
sure you get the correct filter.
37
Page 15
en
When to change the dustbag (dia. 29)
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 floorhead to the
suction tube.
^ Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
^ Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.
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. 30 +
31)
Press the release catch for the dust
^
compartment lid and raise the lid as
far as it will go (dia. 11).
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 red
holder as far as it will go. Leave it
folded up when you take it out of the
box.
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 indication that the bag is
"full" even when it is not. If this happens
you must still change the dustbag as
suction power will be greatly reduced
by blocked pores in the dustbag.
38
^ It should be unfolded as far as
possible in the dust compartment.
^
Close the dust compartment lid
securely, 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!
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.

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 HEPA AirClean 50 (white)
Replace if the display for the exhaust
filter change indicator is completely
filled with red (dia. 15).
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.

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.
Vacuum cleaner and accessories
The vacuum cleaner and all plastic
accessories can be cleaned with a dry
or a slightly damp cloth, or with a
proprietary cleaner suitable for plastic.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
,
agents, glass cleaning agents,
all-purpose cleaners or oil-based
conditioning agents.
Dust compartment
The dust compartment can, if
necessary, be cleaned using a dry
duster, brush or, if available, a second
vacuum cleaner to vacuum the dust
out.
,
Do not let the vacuum cleaner
get wet. If moisture gets into the
appliance, there is a risk of electric
shock.
Problem solving guide
The vacuum cleaner switches off
automatically.
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 s. Disconnect
from the electrical 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.
