For safety reasons when vacuuming stairs, it is best to start at the bottom of the stairs and move upwards.

Use

Power cord

Unwind the cord completely to aid the vacuum in dissipating heat. Do not pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the appliance over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not unplug by pulling the cord. To unplug grasp the plug, not the cord. This appliance is equipped with a power cord reel. Hold the plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow plug to whip when rewinding.

Unwind the power cord (Fig. 17)

Pull the power cord out to the required length.

Insert the plug into the electrical socket.

16

en-US

If vacuuming for longer than

30 minutes, the power cord must be pulled out all the way. Otherwise there is a danger of overheating and damage.

Rewinding the power cord (Fig. 18)

Unplug the power cord from the socket.

Step on the cord rewind foot switch.

The power cord will then retract itself into the vacuum cleaner.

If you do not want the cord to retract completely into the vacuum cleaner you can deactivate this function. To do this, take hold of the end of the cord while rewinding it and give it a short pull when you want the rewinding to end.

Turning the vacuum cleaner on and off (Fig. 19)

Press the On/Off foot control .

Regulating the suction power (Fig. 20)

The suction power can be regulated to suit the type of flooring being cleaned. Reducing the suction power reduces the amount of effort required to maneuver the floor brush.

The vacuum cleaner has symbols on the controls which indicate the type of use the settings are suitable for.

Curtains, fabric

Upholstery, cushions

Deep pile carpets, rugs and runners

Energy-saving vacuuming. This setting is also very quiet

Low pile carpet and rugs

Hard flooring and heavily soiled carpets and rugs

When using the adjustable floorhead, if the suction seems too high, reduce the suction until the floorhead is easier to maneuver.

Turn the suction power selector manually to the suction power setting you require.

Opening the air inlet valve (Fig. 21 + 22)

(depending on model)

It is easy to reduce the suction power for a short time, e.g., to prevent rugs or other objects being sucked into the vacuum cleaner.

Open the air inlet valve on the handle far enough to reduce the suction power.

This reduces the suction on the respective nozzle used.

During vacuuming

When vacuuming, pull the vacuum cleaner behind you on its wheels. You can stand it upright for vacuuming stairs and curtains, etc.

17

en-US

When vacuuming, in particular fine dust, e.g. dust, sand, plaster, flour, etc., electrostatic charges build up naturally. Under certain conditions these charges will be released. To avoid the unpleasant effects of these discharges, a metal inlay has been incorporated into the underside of the handle. Please make sure that you keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during vacuuming (Fig. 23 + 24).

Parking, transport and storage

Park system for pauses during vacuuming (Fig. 25)

(cannot be used with the Electrobrush SEB 228)

The park system allows you to conveniently park the suction wand and floorhead during pauses.

Slot the floorhead into the parking attachment on the vacuum cleaner.

If your vacuum cleaner is on a sloping surface, e.g., a ramp, retract the telescopic suction wand fully.

Park system for storage (Fig. 26)

Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power supply when you have finished using it. Remove the plug from the socket.

Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.

It is a good idea to retract the telescopic suction wand fully.

Slot the floorhead downwards into one of the parking attachments on either side of the vacuum cleaner.

This makes the vacuum cleaner easier to carry or store.

If your vacuum cleaner has an XXL handle, you can detach this so that the vacuum cleaner requires less storage space (Fig. 27).

Detach the XXL handle from the retracted telescopic suction wand.

Wind the suction hose around the telescopic suction wand and then slot the XXL handle into the second parking attachment.

Maintenance

Always switch off the vacuum cleaner for maintenance work and remove the plug from the outlet.

The Miele filtration system consists of three components:

Original Miele FilterBag

Motor protection filter

Original Miele exhaust filter

These will need to be replaced from time to time to ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs efficiently.

18

en-US

We recommend only using genuine FilterBags, filters, and accessories with the “Original Miele” logo on them. This will ensure that the suction power of the vacuum cleaner is maintained, giving the best possible cleaning results.

FilterBags with the “Original Miele” logo on them are not made from paper or paper-based materials and nor do they have a cardboard collar. This is why our FilterBags are particularly long-lasting and reliable.

Please note that appliance faults and damage originating from the use of accessories which do not carry the “Original Miele” logo will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Purchasing new FilterBags and filters

Original Miele FilterBags and filters are available from the Miele web store, Miele Technical Service, and your Miele dealer.

Ordering the correct FilterBags and filters

Only use original Miele FJM FilterBags with a red collar and original Miele filters. These are identified by the “ORIGINAL Miele” logo on the packaging.

Every packet of original Miele FilterBags contains four bags, one AirClean exhaust filter and one motor protection filter. Original Miele multipacks contain 16 FilterBags, four AirClean exhaust filters and four motor protection filters.

Original Miele exhaust filters can also be purchased separately from your Miele dealer or Miele Technical Service. Please quote the model number of your vacuum cleaner when ordering to make sure you get the correct filter. You can also order all accessories via the Miele web store.

When to change the FilterBag (Fig. 28)

Change the FilterBag when the color marker in the FilterBag change indicator turns red.

FilterBags are disposable and intended to be used only once. Dispose of the entire FilterBag. Do not attempt to re-use. Blocked pores reduce the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner.

Checking the FilterBag change indicator

Attach the floor brush to the vacuum cleaner (depending on the model).

Switch the vacuum cleaner on and select the highest power setting.

Lift the floor brush off the floor a little.

19

en-US

How the FilterBag change indicator works

The FilterBag change indicator is set for normal household dust. This generally contains a mixture of dust, hair, threads, carpet lint, grit, etc.

However, if the cleaner has been used to vacuum up fine dust, such as plaster, brick dust, cement or flour, the pores of the FilterBag will become blocked very quickly.

This affects the air permeability of the bag, and the marker will indicate that the bag is “full” even when it is not. If this happens you must still change the FilterBag because suction power will be greatly reduced by blocked pores in the FilterBag.

If, on the other hand, a large amount of hair and carpet lint which typically contains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the indicator may fail to react even though the bag is full. You should still change it. Both these extremes can occur.

How to replace the FilterBag (Fig. 29 + 30)

Press the release catches at the side of the hose connector, and remove the hose from the socket (Fig. 02).

Press the release button on the recessed grip and raise the dust compartment lid as far as it will go (Fig. 09).

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

Pull the FilterBag out by the grip on the collar.

Fit the new FilterBag into the red holder as far as it will go. Leave it folded up when you take it out of the box.

Close the dust compartment lid securely, 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 use force!

Insert the hose connector into the suction socket on the vacuum cleaner until it clicks into position. To do this, line up the guides on the two pieces (Fig. 01).

When to change the motor protection filter

Replace this filter every time you start a new packet of filter bags.

Every packet of original Miele filter bags contains a motor protection filter. Multipacks contain four motor protection filters.

How to change the motor protection filter (Fig. 31)

Open the dust compartment lid.

Pull the filter bag out by the grip on the collar.

Lift up the filter frame until it clicks and remove the old motor protection filter. Hold by the clean, unsoiled section to remove it.

Replace with a new motor protection filter.

Close the filter frame.

20

en-US

Fit the filter bag into the holder as far as it will go.

Close the dust compartment lid securely, making sure it clicks into position. Take care not to trap the filter bag when doing so.

When to replace the exhaust filter

Depending on the model, your vacuum cleaner will come with one of the following exhaust filters (Fig. 08) as standard:

a AirClean

Replace this filter every time you start a new packet of Miele FilterBags. An AirClean exhaust filter is supplied with every packet of Miele FilterBags.

b Active AirClean 50 (black)

c HEPA AirClean 50 (white)

Replace if the display for the exhaust filter change indicator is completely filled with red (Fig. 13). This occurs after approx. 50 hours of operation which is equivalent to about a year of average use. The vacuum cleaner can still be used.

However, the suction power will be reduced as will the effectiveness of the filter if it is not replaced in good time.

How to replace the AirClean filter (Fig. 32 + 33)

Do not use more than one exhaust filter at a time.

Open the dust compartment lid.

Press the release catch on the filter grille and open the grille until it clicks.

Grasp the used AirClean exhaust filter by one of the clean, unsoiled sections and take it out.

Replace it with a new AirClean exhaust filter.

If you wish to fit an Active AirClean 50 or HEPA AirClean 50 exhaust filter, see “Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another.”

Close the filter frame.

Close the dust compartment lid.

Replacing the Active AirClean 50 and HEPA AirClean 50 exhaust filters (Fig. 34 + 35)

Do not use more than one exhaust filter at a time.

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 (Fig. 11).

After approx. 10 –15 seconds a thin red line will appear in the left-hand side of the display (Fig. 12).

If you wish to fit the AirClean exhaust filter, see “Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another”.

Close the dust compartment lid.
