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. 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

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.

~

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.

~

The electrical outlet must be fitted

with a 15 A fuse.

,

Turn off and unplug the vacuum

cleaner before performing any

maintenance work.

The Miele filter system consists of the

following three components.

–

Dustbag

–

Exhaust filter

–

Dust compartment filter

Each of these components must be

changed periodically to maintain the

vacuum cleaner’s efficiency.

Only use Miele dustbags, 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 dustbags made of

paper or a similar material, or

dustbags 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 dustbags without the "Original

Miele" logo.

Purchasing new dustbags and

filters

Original Miele dustbags and filters can

be purchased from an authorized Miele

vacuum dealer or by visiting the Miele

store at http://store.miele.com.

Which dustbags and filters are

the right ones?

This vacuum cleaner uses Original

Miele dustbags Type G/N and an

Original Miele filters, the "Original Miele"

Logo will appear on the packaging or

directly on the dustbag.

An "Air clean" exhaust filter and a dust

compartment filter are supplied with

every box of Miele dustbags.

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").

Maintenance and care

17

When to change the dustbag

Change the dustbag when the colored

marker in the airflow indicator fills the

display.

Miele dustbags are disposable and

made to be used only once. Do not

attempt to reuse.

Checking the airflow indicator

^

Attach the floor brush to the vacuum

cleaner. Perform this test with the

floor brush only, since other

attachments can affect the function of

the airflow indicator.

^ Turn the vacuum cleaner on and

select the highest power setting.

^ Lift the floor brush slightly off the

floor. If the marker completely fills the

indicator window, the dustbag 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 dustbag.

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 dustbag may become

blocked. The marker will indicate that

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

dustbag 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

register "full". This is because the air

flow of the dustbag may still be high

enough not to activate the marker to

show maximum. The dustbag should

still be changed.

Maintenance and care

18

Replacing the dustbag

^

Open the dust compartment lid and

raise until it clicks into place.

The dustbag has a closing flap which

closes automatically when the dust

compartment lid is raised to prevent

any dust from escaping.

^

Grasp the finger grip and pull a the

dustbag out of the holder.

^ Insert b the new dustbag as far as it

will go into the dustbag holder. Do

not unfold the dustbag when taking it

out of the box.

^ Unfold the dustbag in the dust

compartment.

^

Push the dust compartment lid

closed until it clicks into place. Take

care not to jam the dustbag in the lid.

,

An empty-operation-barrier

blocks the dust compartment lid

from closing if no dustbag is

inserted or if it is not inserted all the

way. Do not force it closed.

Maintenance and care

19

When to change the dust

compartment filter (Pre-motor

filter)

Change the filter each time you open a

new box of genuine Miele dustbags. A

dust compartment filter is supplied with

each box.

Replacing the dust

compartment filter (Pre-motor

filter)

^

Open the dust compartment lid.

^ Open the filter frame, remove the old

filter, and insert a new filter.

^ Close the filter frame.

^ Close the dust compartment lid.

When to replace the Air Clean

exhaust filter

Each time a new box of Miele dustbags

is opened, this filter should be

changed. A new Air Clean exhaust filter

is included in every box of Miele

dustbags.

Replacing the Air Clean filter

Do not use more than one filter at a

time.

^

Open the dust compartment lid.

^

Open the filter frame until it clicks,

grasp the clean corner (see arrow)

and remove the used filter a.

^

Insert the new filter b.

^

Close the filter frame.

^

Close the dust compartment lid.
