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.

–

Filter bag

–

Exhaust filter

–

Dust compartment filter

Each of these components must be

changed periodically to maintain the

vacuum cleaner’s efficiency.

Only use Miele filter bags, 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 filter bags made of

paper or a similar material, or filter

bags 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 filter bags and filters

Original Miele filter bags and filters can

be purchased from an authorized Miele

vacuum dealer or by visiting the Miele

online store.

Which filter bags and filters are the

right ones?

This vacuum cleaner uses Original

Miele filter bags Type F/J/M and an

Original Miele filters, the "Original Miele"

Logo will appear on the packaging or

directly on the filter bag.

An "AirClean" 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.

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 filter bag

(see fig. 25)

Change the filter bag when the colored

marker in the airflow indicator

completely fills the display in red.

Filter bags are disposable articles

and made to be used only once.

Dispose of full filter bags. Do not

attempt to reuse.

Clogged pores reduce the suction

power of the vacuum cleaner.

Check the airflow indicator

^ Attach the floor brush AllTeQ

(depending on model) to the vacuum

cleaner. All other suction tools can

affect the function of the airflow

indicator.

Use the On/ Off foot switch s to

switch the vacuum cleaner on, then

select the highest suction setting.

Slightly lift the floor brush AllTeQ from

the floor. If the color marker

completely fills the indicator window,

the filter bag 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 and measures the

amount of air flow through the filter bag.

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 filter bag may become

blocked. The marker will indicate that

the bag is "full" even when it is not. The

filter bag 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

flow of the filter bag may still be high

enough not to activate the marker to

show maximum. The filter bag should

still be changed.

How to change the filter bag

(see fig. 26 + 27)

^ Open the dust compartment lid

(see fig. 9).

The filter bag has a flap that automatically

closes to prevent dust from escaping

when the bag is removed.

^ Grasp the finger grip and pull the

filter bag out of the holder.

Insert the new filter bag into the hol

der as far as it will go. Note: Do NOT

unfold the filter bag when you first re

move it from the box.

Wait until you have inserted the filter

bag into the compartment before

unfolding it.

Now close the dust compartment lid

until it clicks into place, taking care

not to catch the filter bag in the lid.

If you do not insert a replacement

filter bag, the dust compartment lid is

designed not to close. Do not use

force!

When should I change the dust

compartment filter?

electric shock.

Frequently asked questions

The vacuum cleaner shuts off

automatically.

A temperature sensor will turn off the

vacuum cleaner if it becomes too warm.

This problem can occur if, for example,

an object is blocking the suction hose

or the filter bag pores have become

clogged with fine dust. The cause

could also be a heavily soiled exhaust

or dust compartment filter. If this

happens, turn off the vacuum cleaner

(press the On/Off foot switch s) and

unplug the power plug from the

electrical outlet.

Once the cause has been addressed,

allow the vacuum cleaner to cool for
