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.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for
disposal.

Dustbag
–
Dust compartment filter (for motor
–
protection)
Exhaust filter
–
Only use genuine dustbags, filters,
accessories and optional
accessories with the "Original Miele"
logo on them. Only this will ensure
that the suction power of the
vacuum cleaner is maintained,
giving the best possible cleaning
results.
Warning: 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.
This makes the vacuum cleaner easier
to carry or store.
Maintenance
,
Warning: 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 which must be replaced
from time to time to ensure that your
vacuum cleaner performs efficiently.
54
Purchasing new dustbags and filters
Original Miele dustbags and filters can
be ordered from your Miele retailer,
from Miele or online at:
Ordering the correct dustbags and
filters
Only use original Miele G/N dustbags
with a blue collar. Using any other
dustbags will damage the vacuum
cleaner. Original Miele dustbags are
identified by the "Original Miele" logo on
the packaging or directly on the dustbag.
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.
An Air Clean exhaust filter and a dust
compartment filter are supplied with
every packet of Miele dustbags.
If you wish to purchase original Miele
exhaust filters separately, please quote
the model number of your appliance
when ordering to ensure you get the
correct items.
When to change the dustbag (dia. 28)
Change the dustbag when the colour
marker in the dustbag change indicator
fills the display, 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 it is
full. Do not attempt to reuse as
suction would be reduced.
Checking the dustbag change
indicator
^
Attach the AllTeQ or AirTeQ floorhead.
^
Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the maximum power setting.
^
Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.
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 it 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. 29 +
30)
^
Lift 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 blue
holder as far as it will go. Leave it
folded up when you take it out of the
box.
55
en
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.
Warning: The lid will not close without
a dustbag in place. Do not use force.
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. 31)
^ Open the dust compartment lid.
^ Pull the dustbag out by the grip on
the collar.
When to change the HEPA AirClean
50 exhaust filter (dia. 15)
Replace the exhaust filter if the exhaust
filter change indicator is completely
red.
This occurs after approx. 50 operating
hours, or approx. one 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.
You can replace the HEPA AirClean 50
exhaust filter fitted in the vacuum
cleaner with one of the other Miele
exhaust filters if you wish (see
"Replacing one type of exhaust filter
with another").
How to change the HEPA AirClean 50
exhaust filter (dia. 32 + 33)
Do not use more than one exhaust
filter at a time.
^

see "Replacing one type of exhaust
filter with another".
^
Close the dust compartment lid.
en
Replacing one type of exhaust filter
with another
Do not use more than one exhaust
filter at a time.
You can replace the standard HEPA
AirClean 50 filter c with either one of the
following exhaust filters:
a Air Clean
b ActiveAirClean 50.
When replacing the HEPA AirClean
50 filter with an Air Clean filter, plea
se note (dia. 34)
If you wish to replace the HEPA AirClean 50 filter c with an Air Clean filter a,
then it is essential that you also fit the
filter grille (See "Optional accessories").
Maintenance indicator with reset
button (dia. 35)
The indicator lights up after approx.
50 hours of operation, which is
equivalent to about a year of average
use. The level of soiling of the dust
compartment filter and the exhaust filter
must be checked at this point and if the
filters are replaced, the indicator must
be reset. To do this the vacuum cleaner
must be switched on.

This can occur if, for instance, large
articles block the suction tube or when
the filter bag is full or contains particles
of fine dust. A heavily soiled dust
compartment or exhaust filter can also
be the cause of overheating. Switch the
vacuum cleaner off immediately using
the On/Off foot control s. Disconnect it
from the electricity supply. Switch it off
at the wall socket and unplug it.
After removing the cause, wait for
approx. 20 - 30 minutes to allow the
