It is helpful to completely insert the tubes into the telescopic wand.

Insert both clips of the floor brush into the two point holder on either side of the vacuum (this function cannot be used with Electrobrushes SEB 228 and SEB 236).

This makes the vacuum easier to carry or store.

Maintenance and care

Turn off and unplug the vacuum

cleaner before performing any maintenance work.

The Miele filter system consists of the following three components.

FilterBag

–

Exhaust filter

–

Dust compartment filter

– Each of these components must be

changed periodically to maintain the vacuum cleaner’s efficiency.

Only use Miele FilterBags, filters and accessories with the "Original Miele" logo. Only then can the suction power of the vacuum cleaner reach its optimum potential creating the best possible cleaning results.

The use of FilterBags made of paper or a similar material, or FilterBags with a cardboard retaining plate can lead to serious damage to the vacuum cleaner and possibly voiding the warranty, just as with the use of FilterBags without the "Original Miele" logo.

Which FilterBags and filters are the right ones?

This vacuum cleaner uses Original Miele FilterBags Type G/N and an Original Miele filters, the "Original Miele" Logo will appear on the packaging or directly on the FilterBag.

An "Air clean" exhaust filter and a dust compartment filter are supplied with every box of Miele FilterBags. If you would like to purchase additional Miele filters separately, contact your vacuum dealer or Miele, please quote the model number of your Miele vacuum cleaner to ensure correct parts are ordered. These parts are also available to order from the online Miele store.

The exhaust filter supplied with the vacuum cleaner can be exchanged with another type of Original Miele filter (see "Exchanging exhaust filters").

When to change the FilterBag (see fig. 23)

Purchasing new FilterBags and filters

Original Miele FilterBags and filters can be purchased from an authorized Miele vacuum dealer or by visiting the Miele store at http://store.miele.com.

Change the FilterBag when the colored marker in the airflow indicator fills the display.

Miele FilterBags are disposable and made to be used only once. Do not attempt to reuse.

Checking the airflow indicator

Attach the standard floor brush

(depending on model) to the vacuum cleaner. Perform this test with the standard floor brush only, other attachments can affect the function of the airflow indicator.

Turn the vacuum cleaner on and

select the highest power setting. Lift the floor brush slightly off the

floor. If the marker completely fills the indicator window, the FilterBag needs to be changed.

How the airflow indicator works

The airflow indicator is designed to show when the bag is full of common household dust and measures the amount of air flow through the FilterBag. Normal household dust is a mixture of dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, sand, etc. However, if fine dust, such as drill dust, sand, plaster or flour is vacuumed, the pores of the FilterBag may become blocked. The marker will indicate that the bag is "full" even when it is not. The FilterBag should be changed as the suction power is greatly reduced. If the bag is bulging with pet fur, hair, carpet fluff, etc. the indicator may not register "full". This is because the air flow of the FilterBag may still be high enough not to activate the marker to show maximum. The FilterBag should still be changed.

How to change the FilterBag (see fig. 24, 25 + 26)

Lift the release button for the dust compartment lid and raise the lid until it clicks into place.

The FilterBag has a closing flap which closes automatically when the dust compartment lid is raised to prevent any dust from escaping.

Grasp the collar and remove the

FilterBag from the holder. Insert the new FilterBag as far as it

will go into the FilterBag holder. Do not unfold the FilterBag when taking it out of the box.

Unfold the FilterBag in the dust

compartment. Close the dust compartment lid until

it clicks into place. Take care not to jam the FilterBag in the lid.

An empty-operation-barrier blocks the dust compartment lid from closing if no FilterBag is inserted. Do not force it closed.

When to change the exhaust filter (see fig. 27)

Your model will have either the: a Air Clean

An Air Clean filter is supplied with every box of Miele FilterBags and should be changed when starting a new box of FilterBags.

b Active Air Clean SF-AAC 50 (black) c Active HEPA SF-AH 50 (blue)

These filters should be changed approximately once a year. Change the filter sooner if it is obviously soiled or no longer effective. Make a note of the date on the filter. See "Optional Accessories" for descriptions of these two filters.

Exhaust filter change indicator (see fig. 28)

Some models are equipped with an exhaust filter change indicator (Reset button) which is designed to alert the user when to change the "Active Air Clean" or "Active HEPA" filter.

The indicator will light after about 50 hours of operation which is equivalent to a year of average use. The vacuum cleaner can still be used with the exhaust filter indicator lit. However, the suction power will be reduced as will the effectiveness of the filter if it is not replaced.

If an Air Clean filter, a, is being used, the filter change indicator can be disregarded but should be reset when it does light. The indicator goes out when the reset button is pressed.

You can replace the exhaust filter supplied with the vacuum cleaner with one of the other types of filters (see "Optional accessories").

If you wish to replace the Air Clean filter with an Active Air Clean filter or Active HEPA filter see "Maintenance and care - Exchanging exhaust filters".

Close the dust compartment lid firmly

until it clicks into place.

Press and hold the filter change indicator light until it goes out.

The display is now reset.

The indicator is only reset if pressed while lit. If the indicator is pressed while not lit, it will not be reset.

Exchanging Exhaust Filters (see fig.

27)

Your model can have either:

a Air Clean b Active Air Clean SF-AAC 50 (black) c Active HEPA SF-AH 50 (blue)

Please note

1. If you wish to replace the a Air Clean filter with the b ACTIVE air clean filter or the c Active HEPA filter, you must remove the filter frame before inserting the new type of filter.

2. If you use the a Air Clean filter you have to insert it into a filter frame *, see fig. 30.
