IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The vacuum cleaner must only be used to vacuum dry floor sur-
faces. Do not vacuum people or animals. Any other types of use,
modifications, or alterations are not permitted.
Persons which lack physical, sensory or mental abilities or experi-
ence with the machine should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.
Safety with children
Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags,
etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.
Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Close atten-
tion is necessary when used near children.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
Check the voltage rating of the vacuum cleaner before connecting
the power cord to an electrical outlet. Your power source should correspond with the voltage rating plate located on the underside of the
vacuum. Use only household AC outlets. Never use DC power
sources. If you are not sure of your home’s voltage supply, consult a
qualified electrician. Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a higher voltage than indicated in these instructions may result in damage to the
vacuum cleaner or injury.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.
Technical safety
Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories, check for
any visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Compare the connection data on the data plate of the vacuum
cleaner (voltage and frequency) with that of the electricity supply.
This data must match exactly. Without modifications, the vacuum
cleaner is suited for 50Hz or 60Hz.
The electrical outlet must be rated at 15Amps.
Reliable and safe operation of this vacuum cleaner can only be
assured if it has been connected to the electricity supply.
Repairs should only be performed by an authorized service agent
in accordance with national and local safety regulations. Unauthorized repairs could cause injury or machine damage. Otherwise the
warranty may be void.
Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the power cord, and
be careful not to damage the cord when withdrawing the plug from
the socket. Keep the cord away from sharp edges and do not let it
get pinched, for example, under a door. Avoid running the vacuum
cleaner over the cord. This could damage the cord, plug or socket.
The appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered damage.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the power cord is damaged. If
the power cord is damaged it must be replaced together with the
cord reel. For safety reasons this must only be done by Miele Service
or a Miele authorized service technician.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with a dry cloth
or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from the electrical supply.
Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele-authorized service
technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons can cause
considerable danger to users.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when gen-
uine Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components should
only be replaced with genuine Miele parts.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Proper use
To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum cleaner with-
out the FilterBag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter in place.
The dust compartment cover will not close without a FilterBag in-
serted. Do not force it.
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or smoking,
e.g., cigarettes, ashes or hot ash, whether glowing or apparently extinguished.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water, liquid or
damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed rugs or carpets are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust. Toner, such
as that used in printers and photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
Do not vacuum up any flammable or combustible liquids or gases
and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored.
Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction get any-
where near a person's head.
Accessories
To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele turbo-
brush, do not touch the rotating roller brush.
It is not advisable to vacuum directly with the handle, i.e., without
an accessory attached, as the rim could get damaged and you could
hurt yourself on sharp edges.
Only use FilterBags, filters, and accessories bearing the “ORIGI-
NAL Miele” logo on the packaging. The manufacturer cannot otherwise guarantee the safety of the product.

Caring for the environment
Disposing of sales packaging
The packaging material protects the
vacuum cleaner from transport damage.
The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can
therefore be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material reduces the use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Make sure the packaging is disposed of in the proper manner for your
area.
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.

Adjusting the floorhead
(only for models with a reversible floorhead included in the standard version)
This vacuum cleaner can be used for
the everyday cleaning of carpets, rugs
and hard flooring.
Miele offers a range of other floorheads,
brushes and accessories for other types
of flooring and special applications (see
“Optional accessories”).
Please always follow the flooring

cleaner will be fitted as standard with
one of the following exhaust filters.
a AirClean
b AirClean Plus 50 (light blue)

carpets and rugs
When using the adjustable floorhead,
if the suction seems too high, reduce
the suction until the floorhead is easier to maneuver.
Press the On/Off foot switch.
Regulating the suction power
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.
Turn the suction power selector man-
ually to the suction power setting you
require.
Opening the air inlet valve
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.
17
Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction
power.
The floorhead will be easier to maneuver.
Slot the floorhead into the parking at-
tachment on the vacuum cleaner.

telescopic suction wand fully.
During vacuuming
When vacuuming, pull the vacuum
cleaner behind you on its wheels. You
can stand it upright for vacuuming
stairs and curtains, etc.
Parking, transport and storage
Park system for pauses during vacuuming
The park system allows you to conveniently park the suction wand and floorhead during pauses.
18
Park system for storage
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the power supply when
you have finished using it. Remove
the plug from the socket.
Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.
It is a good idea to retract the telescopic suction wand fully.
- 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.
It is recommended to use only genuine
Miele accessories bearing the “ORIGINAL Miele” logo on the packaging.
Only these will guarantee the optimum
performance of your vacuum cleaner
and the best possible cleaning results.
FilterBags with the “ORIGINAL Miele”
logo on the packaging are not made
from paper or paper-based materials
and nor do they have a cardboard collar. This is why Miele FilterBags are
particularly long-lasting and reliable.
Please note that faults and damage
caused by use of accessories which
do not bear the “ORIGINAL Miele”
logo on the packaging are not covered
by the vacuum cleaner warranty.
Slot the floorbrush downwards into
one of the parking attachments on
the sides of the vacuum cleaner.
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
Purchasing new FilterBags and filters
Original Miele FilterBags and filters are
available from the Miele Webstore and
your Miele dealer.
Ordering the correct FilterBags and
filters
Only use original Miele GN FilterBags
with a blue collar and original Miele filters. These are identified by the “ORIGINAL Miele” logo on the packaging.
19
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 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
Webstore.
FilterBag change indicator
Blocked pores reduce the efficiency of
the vacuum cleaner.
Dispose of the FilterBag when it is full.
Do not attempt to re-use the FilterBag.
Checking the FilterBag change indicator
Attach the adjustable floorhead or the
floorbrush to the vacuum cleaner (included as standard depending on
model).
Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
Lift the adjustable floorhead/floor-
brush off the floor a little.
How the FilterBag change indicator
works
The FilterBag change indicator is designed for normal household dust. This
generally contains a mixture of dust,
hair, threads, carpet fluff, grit, etc.
However, if the vacuum cleaner has
been used to vacuum up fine dust, such
as drilling dust, sand, plaster dust, or
flour, the pores of the FilterBag will become blocked very quickly.
The indicator will indicate that the bag
is “full” even when it is not. The FilterBag must be replaced if this is the
case.
Change the FilterBag when the color
marker in the FilterBag change indicator
turns red.
20
If, on the other hand, you vacuum up a
significant amount of hair, carpet lint,
etc., the FilterBag will be full to bursting
before the indicator reacts.
How to replace the FilterBag
Press the release catches at the side
of the hose connector, and remove
the hose from the socket.
Pull the FilterBag out by the grip on
the collar.
Lift the release catch for the dust
compartment lid and raise the lid as
far as it will go.
The FilterBag has a flap which closes
automatically when the dust compartment lid is raised to prevent any dust
escaping.
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!
21
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.
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
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.
Fit the filter bag into the 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 filter
bag when doing so.
When to replace the exhaust filter
Depending on the model, your vacuum
cleaner will be fitted as standard with
one of the following exhaust filters.
22
a AirClean
Replace this filter every time you start a
new packet of filter bags. Every packet
of original Miele filter bags contains one
AirClean exhaust filter. Multipacks contain four AirClean filters.
How to replace the AirClean exhaust
filter
Do not use more than one exhaust filter at a time.
Open the dust compartment lid.
bAirClean Plus 50 (light blue)
Replace this filter after approx. one
year. Make a note of the date on the exhaust filter.
Replace this filter when the TimeStrip®
exhaust filter change indicator is completely red. The indicator lights up after
approximately 50 operating hours,
which is equivalent to about a year of
average use. You can continue vacuuming when the light comes on. However,
the suction power will be reduced as
will the effectiveness of the filter.
Release the filter grille and raise it up-
wards as far as it will go.
Grasp the used AirClean exhaust filter
by the clean, unsoiled section and
take it out (see arrow).
Replace it with a new AirClean ex-
haust filter.
23
If you wish to fit the AirClean Plus 50,
Active AirClean 50, or HEPA AirClean
50 exhaust filter, see “Replacing one
type of exhaust filter with another”.
Close the filter grille.
Close the dust compartment lid.
Replacing the AirClean Plus 50, Active AirClean 50, and HEPA AirClean
50 exhaust filters
Do not use more than one exhaust filter at a time.
Open the dust compartment lid.
Insert a new exhaust filter, making
sure it goes in properly, then push it
down into position.
Lift the exhaust filter and remove it.
24
If you are using exhaust filter c or d,
press the TimeStrip® exhaust filter
change indicator.
After approx. 10–15 seconds, a thin red
line will appear in the left hand side of
the display for both exhaust filters.
If you wish to fit the AirClean exhaust
filter, see “Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another”.
Close the dust compartment lid.
Replacing one type of exhaust filter
with another
Depending on model, your vacuum
cleaner will be fitted as standard with
one of the following exhaust filters:
a AirClean
b AirClean Plus 50 (light blue)
c Active AirClean 50 (black)
d HEPA AirClean 50 (white)
Do not use more than one exhaust filter at a time.
If you are using exhaust filter c or d,
you must also activate the
TimeStrip® exhaust filter change indicator.
2. If you wish to replace exhaust filter b,
c, or d with filter a, it is essential that
you also fit the filter grille *.
* Filter grille – see “Optional accessories”
Replacement parts are available from
your Miele dealer or through Miele
Service.
When changing the filter please note
1. If you wish to replace exhaust filter a
with filter b, c, or d, it is essential that
you remove the filter grille before you
fit the new exhaust filter.

Frequently Asked Questions
With the help of the following guide minor faults in the performance of the machine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied without contacting the Service Department.
This guide may help you to find the reason for the fault, and how to correct it.
ProblemPossible cause and solution
The vacuum cleaner
turns off automatically.
A temperature limiter switches the vacuum cleaner
off automatically if it gets too hot.
This can occur if, for instance, large objects block the
suction wand or when the FilterBag is full or contains
particles of fine dust. A heavily soiled motor protection filter or exhaust filter can also be the cause of
overheating.
Switch the vacuum cleaner off immediately using
the On/Off foot switch . Unplug from the electrical socket.
After removing the cause of the fault, wait for approximately 20–30 minutes to allow the vacuum cleaner
to cool down. It can then be turned on again.
