This vacuum cleaner uses Original

and an Original
Miele filters, the "Original Miele" Logo
will appear on the packaging or directly
on the FilterBag.
An "Air Clean" exhaust filter and a dust
compartment filter are supplied with
every box of Miele filter bags.

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

When to change the FilterBag (see
fig. 25)
Change the FilterBag when the colored
marker in the airflow indicator fills the
display.
Miele FilterBags are disposable and
made to be used only once. Do not
attempt to reuse.
Check the airflow indicator
^
Place the body of the vacuum
cleaner into the full upright position.
^
Use the On/Off button on the handle
to switch the vacuum cleaner on,
then select the highest suction
setting.
^
Tip the vacuum cleaner until you can
read the color marker in the indicator
window. The electrobrush will be
lifted up at the front.
If the color marker completely fills the
indicator window, the FilterBag 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. It also measures the
amount of air flow through the FilterBag.
Normal household dust is a mixture of
dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, etc.
However, if fine dust, such as drill dust,
sand, plaster or flour is vacuumed, the
pores of the FilterBag may become
blocked. The marker will indicate that
the bag is "full" even though it does not
look "full". The FilterBag should still 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 FilterBag may still be high
enough not to activate the marker to
show maximum. The FilterBag should
still be changed.
