,
The use of dustbags made of
paper or a similar material, or
dustbags with a cardboard retaining
plate can lead to serious damage to
the vacuum cleaner and possibly
voiding the warranty, just as with the
use of dustbags without the
"Original Miele" logo.
Purchasing new dustbags and filters
Original Miele dustbags and filters can
be purchased from an authorized Miele
vacuum dealer or by visiting the Miele
store at www.mieleusa.com.
Which dustbags and filters are the
right ones?
This vacuum cleaner uses Original
Miele dustbags Type
F/J/M and an
Original Miele filters, the "Original Miele"
Logo will appear on the packaging or
directly on the dustbag.
An "Air clean" exhaust filter and a dust
compartment filter are supplied with
every box of Miele dustbags.
If you would like to purchase additional
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
(see "Exchanging exhaust filters").
When to change the dustbag
(see fig. 27)
Change the dustbag when the colored
marker in the airflow indicator fills the
display.
Miele dustbags are disposable and
made to be used only once. Do not
attempt to reuse.
Checking the airflow indicator
^
Attach the standard floor brush
(depending on model) to the vacuum
cleaner. Perform this test with the
standard floor brush only, since other
attachments can affect the function of
the airflow indicator.
^
Turn the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
^
Lift the floor brush slightly off the
floor. If the marker completely fills the
indicator window, the dustbag 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 and measures the
amount of air flow through the dustbag.
Normal household dust is a mixture of
dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, sand,
etc.
