An AirClean filter and a motor protec-
tion filter are supplied with every packet
of Miele dustbags.
Original Miele exhaust filters can also
be purchased separately from your
Miele Dealer or from Miele. Please
quote the model number of your va-
cuum cleaner when ordering to make
sure you get the correct filter. You can
also order all accessories via the Miele
webshop.
When to change the dustbag (dia. 22)
Change the dustbag when the colour
marker in the dustbag change indicator
turns red, or sooner if it is no longer ef-
fective (see possible reasons for this
below).
Miele dustbags are disposable and
designed for single use only. Dispose
of the dustbag when full. Do not at-
tempt to reuse. Blocked pores in
used dustbags will reduce the suc-
tion power of the vacuum cleaner.
To check the dustbag change indic-
ator

Attach the standard adjustable floor-
head to the vacuum cleaner.

Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
 Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.
How the dustbag change indicator
works
The dustbag change indicator is set for
normal household dust. This generally
contains a mixture of dust, hair,
threads, carpet fluff, 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 dustbag 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
dustbag because suction power will be
greatly reduced by blocked pores in the
dustbag.
If, on the other hand, a large amount of
hair and carpet fluff 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 dustbag
(dia. 23 - 26)

Press the dust compartment release
catch and raise the lid.
 Pull the tab on the collar and swing
the bag up away from the suction
socket before taking it out of its
holder.

Seal the bag by pressing both sides
of the closure under the seal.
The dustbag is now sealed and dust
cannot escape.
 Fit the new dustbag into the yellow
holder as far as it will go. Leave it fol-
ded up when you take it out of the
box.

It should be unfolded as far as pos-
sible in the dust compartment.
