vice agent in accordance with national and local safety
regulations. Unauthorized repairs could cause injury or ma-
chine damage. Otherwise the warranty will be void.
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 with an original cable. For safety reasons this must
only be done by Miele Technical Service or a Miele autho-
rized service technician.
The socket on the vacuum cleaner (depending on
model) must only be used for the Miele Electrobrushes

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.

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.

References to illustrations
The illustrations referred to in the text
are shown on the fold-out pages at
the end of these Operating Instruc-
tions.
Preparing for use
Attach the suction wand (Fig. 01)
Fit the suction wand with the square
hole facing upwards into the body of
the vacuum cleaner and twist gently
until it clicks into place.
To detach the suction wand
Press the release button (see detail)
and pull off the wand from the vac-
uum cleaner housing with a gentle
twist.
Connecting the handle to the wand
(Fig. 02)
Fit the handle with the square hole
facing upwards into the wand and
twist gently until it clicks into position.
To release the handle from the wand,
press the release button and pull the
handle out of the wand, twisting it
slightly as you do so.
The handle can also be fitted directly to
the body of the vacuum cleaner (Fig.
03).
The vacuum cleaner is then easier to
use, e.g., when vacuuming mattresses,
upholstery, etc.
Fitting the floorhead (Fig. 04)
Attach the floorhead to the vacuum
cleaner connection stub and twist
gently until it clicks into position.
To remove the floorhead, press the
release button and pull the vacuum
cleaner away from the floorhead
twisting it slightly as you do so.
The suction wand can also be attached
to the vacuum cleaner connection stub
(Fig. 05). This is useful for vacuuming
underneath low furniture, for example.
Winding up the power cord (Fig. 06)
When the vacuum cleaner is not in use,
the power cord can be wound around
the two cord hooks.
Secure the power cord by clipping the
plug to the cord (see detailed image).
Using the accessories supplied
(Fig. 07)
Accessory clip
Crevice nozzle
Upholstery nozzle
Accessory clip (Fig. 08)
(as standard depending on model)
If required, attach the accessory clip
to the suction wand.
Push the accessory clip down over
the cable hook ring until it clicks into
position.
The accessory clip holds the acces-
sories (Fig. 09).
Some models are supplied as standard
with one of the following accessories
which are not illustrated.
Electrobrush
Turbobrush
en-US
14
These vacuum cleaners are supplied
with separate operating instructions for
the relevant accessory part.
Use
Unwind the power cord (Fig. 10)
The lower cable hook swivels.
Turn it upwards to release the cable.
Adjusting the telescopic suction
wand (Fig. 11)
(depending on model)
One part of the telescopic suction wand
is packed inside the other, and it can be
adjusted to suit your height for comfort-
able vacuuming.
Press the release button and adjust
the telescopic suction wand to the re-
quired length.
Plugging in the vacuum cleaner
(Fig. 12)
Plug the vacuum cleaner into a
socket protected by at least a 10A
fuse.
When vacuuming hang the cable over
the cable hook on the vacuum
cleaner (see detail).
This way the power cord will not get in
the way during vacuuming. It also pro-
tects the cable from becoming kinked
at the handle.
Switching on and off(Fig. 13 + 14)
There are two separate switches on the
carrying handle to enable the vacuum
cleaner to be conveniently operated in
any vacuum-cleaning situation.
Double slide switch
0 = Vacuum cleaner is switched off
min. = Reduced suction
max. = Maximum suction
Select min. for vacuuming lightweight
items such as curtains or rugs.
Select max. if using a turbobrush.
To switch the vacuum cleaner on,
slide either switch to max.
To switch the vacuum cleaner off,
push the slide switch to 0 until it
clicks.
Adjusting the floorhead (Fig. 15 + 16)
This vacuum cleaner can be used for
daily cleaning of carpets, rugs and ro-
bust hard flooring.
Miele offers a range of other floorheads,
brushes, and accessories for other
types of flooring and special applica-
tions (see "Optional accessories").
Please observe the flooring manufac-
turer's cleaning and care instructions.
Vacuum carpets and rugs with the
brush retracted:
Press the foot switch .
Clean hard flooring which is not sus-
ceptible to scratching, and flooring with
gaps or deep crevices in it with the
brush protruding:
Press the foot switch .
en-US
15
When using the adjustable floorhead,
if the suction seems too high, reduce
the suction until the floorhead is eas-
ier to maneuver.
Setting down and storing the
vacuum cleaner
The vacuum cleaner can be leaned up-
right against a wall or furniture during
pauses in vacuuming or when storing it
(Fig. 17). For this purpose a non-slip
stopper is attached to the handle.
Before leaving the vacuum cleaner
make sure it is switched off and if you
lean it against a wall make sure it is at
a safe angle so that it cannot fall over.
When using a floorbrush we recom-
mend that you hang the vacuum
cleaner up when storing it to protect
the bristles.
The vacuum cleaner is easy to hang up
for this purpose. A hook is on the han-
dle so that you can do this (Fig. 18).
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 (Fig. 19):
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.
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 KK FilterBags
with a yellow collar and original Miele
filters. These are identified by the
"ORIGINAL Miele" logo on the packag-
ing.
en-US
16
An AirClean filter and a motor protec-
tion filter are supplied with every packet
of Miele FilterBags.
Original Miele exhaust filters can also
be purchased separately from your
Miele dealer or from Miele. Please
quote the model number of your vac-
uum 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. 20)
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.
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. 21 & 24)
Press the release button for the dust
compartment lid and open the lid un-
til it clicks into its resting position.
Pull one of the tabs on the collar and
swing the bag up away from the suc-
tion socket before taking it out of its
holder.
Seal the bag by pressing both sides
of the closure under the seal.
The FilterBag is now sealed so that dust
cannot escape.
Fit the new FilterBag into the yellow
holder as far as it will go. Leave it
folded up when you take it out of the
box.
It should be unfolded as far as possi-
ble in the dust compartment.
en-US
17
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 pre-
vents the dust compartment lid from
closing without a filter bag in place.
Do not use force!
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.
How to change the motor protection
filter (Fig. 25)
Open the dust compartment lid.
Unclip the yellow filter frame, re-
move the old motor protection filter
and replace with a new one.
Close the filter frame making sure the
catch engages.
Close the dust compartment lid mak-
ing sure it clicks into position.
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.
26):
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.
b Active AirClean
c AirClean Plus
Replace these exhaust filters about
once a year. Make a note of the date on
the exhaust filter.
How to replace the AirClean exhaust
filter (Fig. 27 & 29)
Do not use more than one exhaust fil-
ter at a time.
Press the button on the rear of the
vacuum cleaner and remove the
cover.

How to replace an Active AirClean or
an AirClean Plus exhaust filter
(Fig. 30 & 31)
Do not use more than one exhaust fil-
ter at a time.
Press the button on the rear of the
vacuum cleaner and remove the
cover (Fig. 27).
Take out the used Active AirClean or
AirClean Plus exhaust filter.

fore cleaning it. Turn off and unplug
it.
en-US
19
Vacuum cleaner and accessories
The vacuum cleaner and all plastic ac-
cessories can be cleaned with a propri-
etary cleaner suitable for plastic.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents, glass cleaning agents, all-
purpose cleaners or oil-based condi-
tioning agents!
Dust compartment
The dust compartment can, if neces-
sary, be cleaned using a dry duster,
brush or, if available, a second vacuum
cleaner to vacuum the dust out.
Monitor the filter bag change indicator
and inspect all filters regularly. Clean or
replace them when necessary accord-
ing to these Operating Instructions.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner
get wet. If moisture gets into the ap-
pliance, there is a risk of electric
shock.

Frequently Asked Questions
With the help of the following guide minor faults in the performance of the ma-
chine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied with-
out contacting the Service Department. Time and money will be saved because a
service call will not be needed.
This guide may help you to find the reason for the fault, and how to correct it.
Problem Possible cause and solution
The vacuum cleaner
turns off automatically.
A temperature limiter switches the vacuum cleaner off
automatically when it gets too hot.
This can occur if, for instance, large objects block the
suction wand or when the filter bag is full or is
clogged with particles of fine dust. A heavily soiled
motor protection or exhaust filter can also be the
cause for overheating.
Then switch off the vacuum cleaner and unplug it
from the socket.
After removing the cause of the fault, wait for approxi-
mately 20–30 minutes to allow the vacuum cleaner to
cool down. It can then be turned on again.
