Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a higher voltage 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.

A damaged vacuum cleaner can be

dangerous. Check the packaging, vacuum cleaner and accessories for any signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

Do not use with a damaged cord or

plug. If the appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or submerged in water, bring it to a service center.

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 dustbags made of

paper or a similar material, or dustbags 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 dustbags without the "Original Miele" logo.

An "AirClean" 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. 16)

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.

Which dustbags 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.

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 floor brush only, since 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 FilterBag change 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.

Replacing the FilterBag (see fig. 17 and 18)

a Grasp the finger grip and pull the

FilterBag out of the holder.

b Insert the new FilterBag as far as it

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

Unfold the FilterBag in the dust

compartment. Push the dust compartment lid closed

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 bag is inserted. Do not force it closed.

When to change the dust compartment filter (Pre-motor filter)

Change the filter each time you open a new box of genuine Miele FilterBags. A dust compartment filter is supplied with each box.

Replacing the dust compartment filter (Pre-motor filter) (see fig. 19)

Open the dust compartment lid.

Open the filter frame, remove the old filter, and insert a new filter.

Close the filter frame.

Close the dust compartment lid.

Open the dust compartment lid and raise 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.

When to replace the AirClean exhaust filter

Each time a new box of Miele FilterBags is opened, this filter should be changed. A new AirClean exhaust filter is included in every box of Miele FilterBags.

Replacing the AirClean filter (see fig. 20)

Do not use more than one filter at a time.

Open the dust compartment lid.

a Open the filter frame until it clicks,

grasp the clean corner (see arrow) and remove the used filter.

b Insert the new filter.

Close the filter frame.

Close the dust compartment lid.

Exchanging exhaust filters

Depending on the model, there may also be a HEPA AirClean 30 exhaust filter included which can be used instead of the standard AirClean exhaust filter.

In order to use the HEPA AirClean 30 filter the AirClean filter and filter frame must be removed. The exhaust filter change indicator ~ must also be activated (see fig. 21). After about 10-15 seconds, a small red marker will appear in the left-hand side of the display (see fig. 22).

Replacing the HEPA AirClean 30 exhaust filter (see fig. 24)

a Remove the used exhaust filter. b Insert a new filter.

Activate the exhaust filter change

indicator (see fig. 19).

New thread catcher pads can be purchased from any authorized Miele vacuum dealer or Miele.

Cleaning and care

When to change the HEPA AirClean 30 exhaust filter (see fig. 23)

If the display of the exhaust filter change indicator has turned fully red.

The indicator light will come on after approx. 50 hours of operation, which is equivalent to one year of average use. The vacuum cleaner can still be used however, the filter performance and suction power will be reduced.

Turn off the vacuum and unplug it from the outlet before performing any maintenance work.

Vacuum cleaner and accessories

The vacuum cleaner and other plastic accessories can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a cleaner suitable for plastics.

Do not use abrasive, oil-based,

glass or all purpose cleaners!
