en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

7

 Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the power

cord, and be careful not to damage the cord when with-

drawing the plug from the socket. Keep the cord away

from sharp edges and do not let it get pinched, for exam-

ple, 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 re-

placed together with the cord reel. For safety reasons this

must only be done by Miele Technical Service or a Miele

authorized service technician.

 When vacuuming, in particular fine dust, e.g. sawdust,

sand, plaster, flour, talcum powder 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.

 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.

en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

8

 Defective components should be replaced by Miele orig-

inal parts only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer

guarantee the safety of the appliance.

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 glow-

ing or apparently extinguished.

 Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water,

liquid or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or sham-

pooed rugs or carpets are completely dry before attempt-

ing 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 sub-

stances are stored.

 Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction

get anywhere near a person's head.

en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

9

Accessories

 To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele

turbobrush, do not touch the rotating roller brush.

 It is not advisable to vacuum directly with the handle,

i.e., without an accessory attached, as the rim could get

damaged and you could hurt yourself on sharp edges.

 Only use genuine FilterBags, filters and accessories with

the "Original Miele" logo on them. Otherwise the manufac-

turer cannot guarantee the safety of the product.

Disposal of the packing mate-

rial

The cardboard box and packing materi-

als protect the appliance during ship-

ping. They have been designed to be

biodegradable and recyclable.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

bags, etc. are disposed of safely and

kept out of the reach of children. Dan-

ger of suffocation!

Disposing of the FilterBags

and filters

Filterbags and filters are made from en-

vironmentally friendly materials, and can

be disposed of with the normal house-

hold waste, as long as they have been

used exclusively for general household

dust.

Disposing of your old appli-

ance

Before disposing of your old appliance

remove the FilterBag and filters and dis-

pose of them with your household

waste.

Electronic and electrical appliances

contain many valuable materials. They

also contain certain materials, com-

pounds 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 electri-

cal 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 chil-

dren while being stored for disposal.

curely, making sure it clicks into posi-

tion. Take care not to trap the filter

bag when doing so.

How the TimeStrip® exhaust filter

change indicator works

The TimeStrip® exhaust filter change

indicator shows the remaining func-

tional life of the exhaust filter. After ap-

prox. 50 operating hours, or approx.

one year of average use, the display will

be completely filled with red (Fig. 14).

Using the accessories supplied

top or bottom of the suction wand

when required (Fig. 16).

Some models are supplied as standard

with one of the following accessories

which are not illustrated.

– AllergoTeQ floorhead

– Turbobrush

These vacuum cleaners are supplied

with separate operating instructions for

the relevant accessory part.

Reversible floorhead (Fig. 17)

(included as standard depending on

model)

For general use and also for vacuuming

the stairs.

en-US

15

 For safety reasons when vacu-

uming stairs, it is best to start at the

bottom of the stairs and move up-

wards.

Parquet floorbrush (SBB Parquet-3)

(included as standard depending on

model)

This brush has natural bristles and is

designed for use on smooth floors that

are susceptible to scratching.

Use

Unwinding the cord (Fig. 18)

 Pull the power cord out to the re-

quired length (max. cord length ap-

prox. 18" (5.5 m).

 Insert the plug into the socket.

 If vacuuming for longer than 30

all the way. Danger of overheating

and damage.

Rewinding the power cord (Fig. 19)

 Turn off at the wall socket and un-

plug.

 Press the rewind foot control. The

cord will rewind automatically.

Turning the vacuum cleaner on and

off (Fig. 20)

 Press the On/Off foot control .

Regulating the suction power

(Fig. 21)

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 maneu-

ver the floorhead.

The vacuum cleaner has symbols on

the controls which indicate the type of

use the settings are suitable for.

 Curtains, fabrics

 Upholstery, cushions

 Deep pile carpets, rugs and run-

ners

 Energy-saving normal vacuuming

with low noise

 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 eas-

ier to maneuver.

 Turn the suction power selector man-

ually to the suction power setting you

require.

Opening the air inlet valve (Fig. 22)

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.

en-US

16

This reduces the suction on the respec-

tive 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.

 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 con-

tact with this metal strip during vacu-

uming (Fig. 23).

Parking, transport and storage

Park system for pauses during vacu-

uming (Fig. 24)

The Park system allows you to conve-

niently park the wand and floorhead

during short pauses in vacuuming.

 Slot the floorhead into the parking at-

tachment on the vacuum cleaner.

If your vacuum cleaner is on a slop-

ing surface such as a ramp, fully re-

tract the telescopic wand fully.

Park system for storage (Fig. 25)

 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 tele-

scopic suction wand fully.

 Slot the floorhead downwards into

one of the parking attachments on ei-

ther side of the vacuum cleaner (the

parking attachments cannot be used

with Electrobrushes SEB 217 and

SEB 228).

This makes the vacuum cleaner easier

to carry or store.

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.

en-US

17

We recommend only using genuine

FilterBags, filters, and accessories

with the "Original Miele" logo on

them. This will ensure that the suc-

tion 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 pa-

per 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 cov-

ered 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 fil-

ters. These are identified by the "ORIGI-

NAL Miele" logo on the packaging.

Every packet of original Miele FilterBags

contains four bags, one AirClean ex-

haust filter and one motor protection fil-

ter. 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. 26)

Change the FilterBag when the color

marker in the FilterBag change indicator

turns red.

FilterBags are disposable and in-

tended to be used only once. Dis-

pose of the entire FilterBag. Do not

attempt to re-use. Blocked pores re-

duce the efficiency of the vacuum

cleaner.

Checking the FilterBag change indi-

cator

 Attach the standard adjustable floor-

head to the vacuum cleaner.

 Switch the vacuum cleaner on and

select the highest power setting.

 Lift the floorbrush off the floor a little.

en-US

18

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 con-

tains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the in-

dicator 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. 27 + 28)

 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 re-

cessed grip and raise the dust com-

partment lid as far as it will go (Fig.

10).

The FilterBag has a flap which closes

automatically when the dust compart-

ment lid is raised to prevent any dust

escaping.

 Pull the FilterBag out by the grip on

the collar.

 Fit the new FilterBag into the holder

as far as it will go. Leave it folded up

when you take it out of the box.

 Close the dust compartment lid se-

curely, making sure it clicks into posi-

tion. Take care not to trap the Fil-

terBag when doing so.

An empty operation lock prevents

the dust compartment lid from clos-

ing 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

(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. Multi-

packs contain four motor protection fil-

ters.

How to change the motor protection

filter (Fig. 29)

 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 sec-

tion to remove it.

 Replace with a new motor protection

filter.

 Close the filter frame.

en-US

19

 Fit the filter bag into the holder as far

as it will go.

 Close the dust compartment lid se-

curely, making sure it clicks into posi-

tion. 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 be fitted as standard with

one of the following exhaust filters (Fig.

09).

a AirClean

Replace this filter every time you start a

new packet of filter bags. Every packet

of original Miele filter bags contains one

AirClean exhaust filter. Multipacks con-

tain four AirClean filters.

bAirClean Plus 50 (light blue)

Replace this filter after approx. one

year. Make a note of the date on the ex-

haust filter.

cActive AirClean 50 (black)

dHEPA AirClean 50 (white)

Replace this filter when the TimeStrip®

exhaust filter change indicator is com-

pletely red (Fig. 14). The indicator lights

up after approximately 50 operating

hours, which is equivalent to about a

year of average use. You can continue

vacuuming when the light comes on.

However, the suction power will be re-

duced as will the effectiveness of the fil-

ter.

How to replace the AirClean exhaust

filter (Fig. 30 + 31)

Do not use more than one exhaust fil-

ter at a time.

 Open the dust compartment lid.

 Open the filter grille.

 Grasp the used AirClean exhaust filter

by the clean, unsoiled section and

take it out.

 Replace it with a new AirClean ex-

haust filter.
