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 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.
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.
