Exchanging exhaust filters
Depending on the model, your vacuum
cleaner will use one of the following
standard exhaust filters (see fig. 31):
a Air Clean
b Active Air Clean SF-AAC 50 (black)
c Active HEPA SF-AH 50 (blue)
Important
1. If you replace exhaust filter a with
exhaust filter b or c , you must be sure
to remove the filter frame before
inserting the new filter type.
2. If you replace exhaust filter b or c
with exhaust filter a , you must be sure
to place the new filter in the filter frame
*
(see fig. 34).
* Filter frame - see section on "Optional
accessories"
Make sure that only one exhaust
filter is inserted in the frame.
Certain models are equipped with a
filter change indicator (see fig. 32)
to show you when to change the
Active Air Clean or Active HEPA
filter. If you use an Air Clean exhaust
filter instead, lighting of the filter
change indicator and reset button
can be disregarded as you simply
replace the exhaust filter every time
a new box of Miele filter bags is
opened. The indicator lights turn off
when the reset button is pressed.
