en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
T
o reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
Check the voltage rating of the vacuum cleaner before
connecting the power cord to an electrical outlet. Your
power source should correspond with the voltage rating
plate located on the underside of the vacuum. 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 than indicated in these instructions 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.
Technical safety
Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories,
check for any visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
Compare the connection data on the data plate of the
vacuum cleaner (voltage and frequency) with that of the
electricity supply. This data must match exactly. Without
modifications, the vacuum cleaner is suited for 50Hz or
60Hz.
The electrical outlet must be rated at 15Amps.
6
en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Reliable and safe operation of this vacuum cleaner can
only be assured if it has been connected to the electricity
supply.
Repairs should only be performed by an authorized ser-
vice agent in accordance with national and local safety
regulations. Unauthorized repairs could cause injury or machine damage. Otherwise the warranty may be void.
Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the power
cord, and be careful not to damage the cord when withdrawing the plug from the socket. Keep the cord away
from sharp edges and do not let it get pinched, for example, under a door. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over
the cord. This could damage the cord, plug or socket. The
appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered
damage.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the power cord is
damaged. If the power cord is damaged it must be replaced together with the cord reel. For safety reasons this
must only be done by Miele Service or a Miele authorized
service technician.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with a
dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from
the electrical supply.
Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele-authorized
service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons can cause considerable danger to users.

The packaging material protects the vacuum cleaner
from transport damage. We recommend you keep the
packaging for transport purposes.
Proper use
To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum
cleaner without the FilterBag, dust compartment filter and
exhaust filter in place.
The dust compartment cover will not close without a Fil-
terBag inserted. Do not force it.
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or
smoking, e.g., cigarettes, ashes or hot ash, whether glowing or apparently extinguished.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water,
liquid or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed rugs or carpets are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust.
Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers, can
conduct electricity.
Do not vacuum up any flammable or combustible liquids
or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored.

en - Caring for the environment
Disposing of sales packaging
The packaging material protects the
vacuum cleaner from transport damage.
The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can
therefore be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material reduces the use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Make sure the packaging is disposed of in the proper manner for your
area.
Disposing of the FilterBags
and filters
Filterbags and filters are made from environmentally friendly materials, and can
be disposed of with the normal household waste, as long as they have been
used exclusively for general household
dust.
Disposing of your old appliance
Before disposing of your old appliance
remove the FilterBag and filters and dispose of them with your household
waste.
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances. By law,
you are solely responsible for deleting
any personal data from the appliance
prior to disposal. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored for disposal.

The Miele Filtration System consists of
3 accessories:
- original Miele FilterBag (type GN)
- motor protection filter
- original Miele Exhaust Filter
en-US
These accessories will need to be replaced from time to time to ensure that
your vacuum cleaner performs efficiently.
It is recommended to use only genuine
Miele accessories bearing the “ORIGINAL Miele” logo on the packaging.
Only these will guarantee the optimum
performance of your vacuum cleaner
and the best possible cleaning results.
FilterBags with the “ORIGINAL Miele”
logo on the packaging are not made
from paper or paper-based materials
and nor do they have a cardboard collar. This is why Miele FilterBags are
particularly long-lasting and reliable.
Please note that faults and damage
caused by use of accessories which
do not bear the “ORIGINAL Miele”
logo on the packaging are not covered
by the vacuum cleaner warranty.
Purchasing FilterBags and filters
Original Miele FilterBags and Filters are
available from the Miele web store,
Miele Customer Service, and your Miele
dealer.
Original Miele FilterBags and Filters are
identified by the “ORIGINAL Miele” logo
on the packaging.
Every packet of original Miele FilterBags
contains 4 bags, one AirClean Exhaust
Filter, and one motor protection filter.
Original Miele multipacks contain 16 FilterBags, 4 AirClean Exhaust Filters, and
4 motor protection filters.
Original Miele Exhaust Filters can also
be purchased separately from Miele
Customer Service or your Miele dealer.
Please quote the model number of your
vacuum cleaner when ordering to make
sure you get the correct filter. You can
also order these exhaust filters via the
Miele web store.
FilterBag change indicator (Fig. 23)
Change the FilterBag when the color
marker in the FilterBag change indicator
turns red.
Blocked pores reduce the efficiency of
the vacuum cleaner.
Dispose of the FilterBag when it is full.
Do not attempt to re-use the FilterBag.
Checking the FilterBag change indicator
Attach the adjustable floorhead or the
floorbrush to the vacuum cleaner (included as standard depending on
model).
Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
17
en-US
Lift the adjustable floorhead/floor-
brush off the floor a little.
How the FilterBag change indicator
works
The FilterBag change indicator is designed for normal household dust. This
generally contains a mixture of dust,
hair, threads, carpet fluff, grit, etc.
However, if the vacuum cleaner has
been used to vacuum up fine dust, such
as drilling dust, sand, plaster dust, or
flour, the pores of the FilterBag will become blocked very quickly.
The indicator will indicate that the bag
is “full” even when it is not. The FilterBag must be replaced if this is the
case.
If, on the other hand, you vacuum up a
significant amount of hair, carpet lint,
etc., the FilterBag will be full to bursting
before the indicator reacts.
Replacing the FilterBag (Fig. 24)
Press both release buttons at the side
of the hose connector, and lift the
hose from the socket (Fig. 01).
Pull the release button for the dust
compartment lid upwards and open
the lid as far as it will go.
The FilterBag has a flap which closes
automatically when the dust compartment lid is raised to prevent any dust
escaping.
Close the dust compartment lid se-
curely, making sure it clicks into position. Take care not to trap the FilterBag when doing so.
An empty operation lock prevents the
dust compartment lid from closing
without a FilterBag in place. Do not
force it.
Insert the hose connector into the
suction socket on the vacuum
cleaner until it clicks into position.
Replacing the motor protection filter
(Fig. 25)
Replace the motor protection filter
whenever you start a new packet of FilterBags.
Every packet of original Miele FilterBags
contains a motor protection filter. Multipacks contain 4 motor protection filters.
Open the dust compartment lid.
Pull the FilterBag out by the grip on
the collar.
Unclip the filter frame and replace the
motor protection filter.
Close the filter frame.
Insert the FilterBag into the holder as
far as it will go.
Close the dust compartment lid.
Replacing the AirClean Exhaust Filter
(Fig. 26)
Pull the FilterBag out by the grip on
the collar.
Insert the new FilterBag into the
holder as far as it will go. Leave the
FilterBag folded up when you take it
out of the box.
18
Do not use more than one exhaust
filter at a time.
Replace this exhaust filter every time
you start a new packet of Miele FilterBags. Every packet of original Miele
en-US
FilterBags contains one AirClean Exhaust Filter. Multipacks contain 4 AirClean Exhaust Filters.
Open the dust compartment lid.
Release the filter grille and raise it
upwards. Grasp the used AirClean
Exhaust Filter by the clean, unsoiled
section (see arrow) and take it out.
Replace it with a new AirClean Ex-
haust Filter.
If you wish to install an Active AirClean
30 or HEPA AirClean 30 Exhaust Filter,
see “Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another”.
Close the filter grille.
Close the dust compartment lid.
Replacing the Active AirClean 30/
HEPA AirClean 30 Exhaust Filter
(Fig. 27)
Do not use more than one exhaust
filter at a time.
Replace these exhaust filters if the
TimeStrip® exhaust filter change indicator is completely red (Fig. 12).
The display will be completely filled with
red after approximately 50 operating
hours; this corresponds to approximately one year of average use. You
can continue vacuuming in this case.
However, the suction power will be reduced as will the effectiveness of the filter.
Open the dust compartment lid.
Lift the exhaust filter and remove it.
Insert a new exhaust filter, making
sure it goes in properly, then push it
down into position.
Press the TimeStrip® exhaust filter
change indicator.
After approx. 10–15 seconds a thin red
line will appear in the left-hand side of
the display.
If you wish to install an AirClean Exhaust Filter, see “Replacing one type
of exhaust filter with another”.
Close the dust compartment lid.
Replacing one type of exhaust filter
with another
Depending on the model, your vacuum
cleaner will be equipped as standard
with one of the following exhaust filters:
a AirClean
b Active AirClean 30 (black)
c HEPA AirClean 30 (white)
Do not use more than one exhaust
filter at a time.
When changing the filter please note
1. If you wish to replace exhaust filter a
with filter b or c, you must completely remove the filter grille before
you install the new exhaust filter.
You must also activate the
TimeStrip® exhaust filter change indicator.
2. If you wish to replace exhaust filter b
or c with exhaust filter a, it is essential that you also install the filter grille*
(Fig. 26).
19

* Filter grille – see “Optional accessories”
Replacing the thread catchers
(Figs. 28+29)
(only possible for models with an adjustable floorhead included as standard)
The thread catchers on the suction inlet
to the floorhead can be replaced. Replace the thread catchers if the pile has
worn down.
Lift the thread catchers from the
slots. To do so use a suitable tool,
e.g., a flat-head screwdriver.
Install new thread catchers.
Replacement parts are available from
your Miele dealer or through Miele
Service.

Frequently Asked Questions
With the help of the following guide minor faults in the performance of the machine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied without contacting the Service Department.
This guide may help you to find the reason for the fault, and how to correct it.
Risk of electric shock from voltage.
The supply voltage is applied to the appliance even if it is switched off.
Before dealing with any problems, unplug the appliance from the electrical
socket.
Problem Possible cause and solution
The vacuum cleaner
turns off automatically.
A temperature limiter switches the vacuum cleaner
off automatically if it gets too hot.
This can occur if, for instance, large objects block the
suction wand or when the FilterBag is full or contains
particles of fine dust. A heavily soiled motor protection filter or exhaust filter can also be the cause of
overheating.
Switch the vacuum cleaner off immediately using
the On/Off foot switch . Unplug from the electrical socket.
After removing the cause of the fault, wait for approximately 20–30 minutes to allow the vacuum cleaner
to cool down. It can then be turned on again.

Seuls des sacs à poussière, des filtres et des
accessoires portant le logo "Original Miele"
doivent être utilisés avec cet aspirateur.
Ceux-ci permettent de maximiser la puissance d'aspiration de l'aspirateur et de produire des résultats de
nettoyage optimaux.
L'UTILISATION DE COMPOSANTES D'UNE AUTRE
MARQUE POURRAIT INVALIDER LA GARANTIE.
,
Tout comme l'utilisation de sacs à poussière
n'arborant pas le logo "Original Miele", l'utilisation de
sacs à poussière faits de papier ou de matériau similaire, ou de sacs à poussière munis d'une plaque de
retenue en carton, peut endommager gravement l'aspirateur et risquer d'en annuler la garantie.
Le logo "Original Miele" se trouve sur l'emballage ou
directement sur le sac à poussière.
Vous pouvez vous procurer des sacs à poussière et
des filtres Miele d'origine auprès d'un détaillant autorisé
d'aspirateurs Miele ou à notre magasin Miele en ligne,
à www.miele.ca/www.mieleusa.com.
