en - Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing mate­rial
The cardboard box and packing materi­als protect the appliance during ship­ping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Dan­ger of suffocation!
Disposing of the FilterBags and filters
Filterbags 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 FilterBag and filters and dis­pose of them with your household waste.
Electronic and electrical appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, com­pounds and components which were essential for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to your health and to the environment if disposed of with general waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with general waste.
Instead, please make use of officially designated collection and disposal points to dispose of and recycle electri­cal and electronic appliances. By law, you are solely responsible for deleting any personal data from the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to chil­dren while being stored for disposal.

For general use and also for vacuuming the stairs.
14
en-US
For safety reasons when vacu-
uming stairs, it is best to start at the bottom of the stairs and move up­wards.
Parquet floorbrush (SBB Parquet-3)
(included as standard depending on model)
This brush has natural bristles and is designed for use on smooth floors that are susceptible to scratching.
Use
Unwinding the cord (Fig. 18)
Pull the power cord out to the re-
quired length (max. cord length ap­prox. 18" (5.5 m).
Insert the plug into the socket.
If vacuuming for longer than 30
minutes, the cord must be pulled out all the way. Danger of overheating and damage.
Rewinding the power cord (Fig. 19)
Turn off at the wall socket and un-
plug.
Press the rewind foot control. The
cord will rewind automatically.
Turning the vacuum cleaner on and off (Fig. 20)
Press the On/Off foot control .
Regulating the suction power (Fig. 21)
The suction power can be regulated to suit the type of flooring being cleaned. Reducing the suction power reduces the amount of effort required to maneu­ver the floorhead.
The vacuum cleaner has symbols on the controls which indicate the type of use the settings are suitable for.
Curtains, fabricsUpholstery, cushions
Deep pile carpets, rugs and run-
ners
Energy-saving normal vacuuming
with low noise
Low pile carpet and rugsHard flooring and heavily soiled
carpets and rugs
When using the adjustable floorhead, if the suction seems too high, reduce the suction until the floorhead is eas­ier to maneuver.
Turn the suction power selector man-
ually to the suction power setting you require.
Opening the air inlet valve (Fig. 22)
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.
15
en-US
This reduces the suction on the respec­tive nozzle used.
During vacuuming
When vacuuming, pull the vacuum
cleaner behind you on its wheels. You can stand it upright for vacuuming stairs and curtains, etc.
When vacuuming, in particular
fine dust, e.g. dust, sand, plaster, flour, 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 (Fig. 23).
Parking, transport and storage
Park system for pauses during vacu­uming (Fig. 24)
The Park system allows you to conve­niently park the wand and floorhead during short pauses in vacuuming.
Slot the floorhead into the parking at-
tachment on the vacuum cleaner.
Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.
It is a good idea to retract the tele­scopic suction wand fully.
Slot the floorhead downwards into
one of the parking attachments on ei­ther side of the vacuum cleaner (the parking attachments cannot be used with Electrobrushes SEB 217 and SEB 228).
This makes the vacuum cleaner easier to carry or store.
Maintenance
Always switch off the vacuum
cleaner for maintenance work and remove the plug from the outlet.
The Miele filtration system consists of three components:
– Original Miele FilterBag – Motor protection filter – Original Miele exhaust filter These will need to be replaced from
time to time to ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs efficiently.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a slop­ing surface such as a ramp, fully re­tract the telescopic wand fully.
Park system for storage (Fig. 25)
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the power supply when you have finished using it. Remove the plug from the socket.
16
en-US
We recommend only using genuine FilterBags, 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.
FilterBags 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 FilterBags 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 FilterBags and filters
Original Miele FilterBags and filters are available from the Miele web store, Miele Technical Service, and your Miele dealer.
Ordering the correct FilterBags and filters
Only use original Miele FJM FilterBags with a red collar and original Miele fil­ters. These are identified by the "ORIGI­NAL Miele" logo on the packaging.
Every packet of original Miele FilterBags contains four bags, one AirClean ex­haust filter and one motor protection fil­ter. Original Miele multipacks contain 16 FilterBags, four AirClean exhaust filters and four motor protection filters.
Original Miele exhaust filters can also be purchased separately from your Miele dealer or Miele Technical Service. Please quote the model number of your vacuum cleaner when ordering to make sure you get the correct filter. You can also order all accessories via the Miele web store.
When to change the FilterBag (Fig. 26)
Change the FilterBag when the color marker in the FilterBag change indicator turns red.
FilterBags are disposable and in­tended to be used only once. Dis­pose of the entire FilterBag. Do not attempt to re-use. Blocked pores re­duce the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner.
Checking the FilterBag change indi­cator
Attach the standard adjustable floor-
head to the vacuum cleaner.
Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
Lift the floorbrush off the floor a little.
17
en-US
How the FilterBag change indicator works
The FilterBag change indicator is set for normal household dust. This generally contains a mixture of dust, hair, threads, carpet lint, 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 FilterBag 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 FilterBag because suction power will be greatly reduced by blocked pores in the FilterBag.
If, on the other hand, a large amount of hair and carpet lint 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 FilterBag (Fig. 27 + 28)
Press the release catches at the side
of the hose connector, and remove the hose from the socket (Fig. 02).
Press the release button on the re-
cessed grip and raise the dust com­partment lid as far as it will go (Fig.
10).
The FilterBag has a flap which closes automatically when the dust compart­ment lid is raised to prevent any dust escaping.
Pull the FilterBag out by the grip on
the collar.
Fit the new FilterBag into the holder
as far as it will go. Leave it folded up when you take it out of the box.
Close the dust compartment lid se-
curely, making sure it clicks into posi­tion. Take care not to trap the Fil­terBag when doing so.
An empty operation lock prevents the dust compartment lid from clos­ing without a FilterBag in place. Do not use force!
Insert the hose connector into the
suction socket on the vacuum cleaner until it clicks into position (Fig. 01).
When to change the motor protection filter
Replace this filter every time you start a new packet of filter bags. Every packet of original Miele filter bags contains a motor protection filter. Multi­packs contain four motor protection fil­ters.
How to change the motor protection filter (Fig. 29)
Open the dust compartment lid.Pull the filter bag out by the grip on
the collar.
Lift up the filter frame until it clicks
and remove the old motor protection filter. Hold by the clean, unsoiled sec­tion to remove it.
Replace with a new motor protection
filter.
Close the filter frame.
