en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS APPLIANCE
WARNING-
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock or injury:
Before using
Check the voltage rating of the
~
vacuum cleaner before connecting the
power cord to an electrical outlet. The
power source should correspond with
the voltage rating plate of the vacuum
cleaner. 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 may result in damage 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.
The electrical outlet must be fitted
~
with a 15 A fuse.
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.
6
en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The Miele filter system consists of the
following three components.
– FilterBag
– Exhaust filter
en
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 filter bags without
the "Original Miele" logo.
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 FilterBags and filters are the
right ones?
This vacuum cleaner uses Original
Miele FilterBags Type U and an Original
Miele filters, the "Original Miele" Logo
will appear on the packaging or directly
on the FilterBag.
–
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.
An "Air Clean" exhaust filter and a dust
compartment filter are supplied with
every box of Miele filter bags.
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.
13
en
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. 22)
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.
Check the airflow indicator
^ Place the body of the vacuum
cleaner into the full upright position.
^ Use the On/Off button on the handle
to switch the vacuum cleaner on,
then select the highest suction
setting.
^ Tip the vacuum cleaner until you can
read the color marker in the indicator
window. The electrobrush will be
lifted up at the front.
If the color 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. It also measures the
amount of air flow through the FilterBag.
Normal household dust is a mixture of
dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, 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 though it does not
look "full". The FilterBag should still 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.
Changing the FilterBag
(see fig. 23, 24 + 25)
^ Place the body of the vacuum
cleaner into the full upright position.
^ Lift the release button for the dust
compartment lid and open until it
clicks into place.
^
Pull the tab on the collar and swing
the FilterBag up and away from the
suction socket before taking it out of
the frame.
The FilterBag has a flap that
automatically closes to prevent dust
from escaping when the bag is
removed.
^
Do not unfold the FilterBag when you
first remove it from the box. Insert the
new FilterBag as far as it will go into
the holder.
^
Unfold the FilterBags in the dust
compartment.
14
en
Close the dust compartment lid until
^
it clicks into place, taking care not to
catch the FilterBag in the lid. The
FilterBag is automatically aligned with
the vacuum hole.
An empty-operation-barrier
,
blocks the dust compartment lid
from closing if no FilterBag is
inserted or if it is not inserted
correctly. Do not force it closed.
When to change the dust
compartment filter (pre-motor filter)
Whenever you start a new box of Miele
FilterBags, you should change the dust
compartment filter. A new filter is
included in every box.
Changing the dust compartment filter
(see fig. 26)
^ Open the dust compartment lid.
^ Open the filter frame, use the clean
corner to remove the filter.
^
Insert a new filter.
^
Close the filter frame.

hand.
Exhaust filter change indicator
(see fig. 28)
Certain models are equipped with an
indicator (reset button), to show you
when to change the Active Air Clean b
or Active HEPA c filter.
The indicator will turn red after
approximately 50 hours of operation,
which is equivalent to about one year of
average use. Once the indicator light
comes on, you can still continue to use
the vacuum cleaner. However, the filter
