Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical supply for
maintenance work and for cleaning.
Switch off at the wall socket and re-
move the plug.
The Miele filter system consists of three
filters which must be replaced from time
to time to ensure efficient suction.
– Dustbag (filter bag)
– Exhaust filter
– Dust compartment filter (for motor
protection)
Use only genuine Miele dustbags
and filters, making sure they are the
correct ones for your model. This en-
sures optimum performance of the
suction power and also ensures that
the bag is used to capacity.
Purchasing new dustbags and
filters
Replacement dustbags and filters can
be obtained from your local Miele
Dealer or direct from the Miele Spare
Parts Department.
Order original Miele dustbags with the
letter:
–
F/J/M
for model S 556 / S 558
–
G/N
for model S 658.
Always quote the model number given
on the data plate situated underneath
the appliance.
A "SUPER air clean" exhaust filter and a
dust compartment filter are supplied
with every packet of Miele dustbags.
If you wish to purchase exhaust filters
or dust compartment filters separately,
please quote the model number of your
appliance when ordering.
You can replace the exhaust filter sup-
plied with the vacuum cleaner with one
of the other types of filters if you wish
(see "Replacing one type of filter with
another").
