Miele S770, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 35 / 104

Only use original Miele F/J/M dustbags
with a red collar. Using any other
dustbags will damage the vacuum
cleaner. Original Miele dustbags are
identified by the "Original Miele" logo on
the packaging or directly on the
dustbag.
An Air Clean filter and a dust
compartment filter are supplied with
every packet of Miele dustbags.
These can also be purchased
separately.
When to change the dustbag (dia. 22)
Change the dustbag when the colour
marker in the dustbag change indicator
fills the display, or sooner if it is no
longer effective (see possible reasons
for this below).
Miele dustbags are disposable and
designed to be used only once.
Dispose of the dustbag when it is
full. Do not attempt to reuse as
suction would be reduced.
Checking the dustbag change
indicator
^
Attach the standard floorhead to the
suction tube.
^
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 indicator is designed to measure
the air permeability of a dustbag
containing a mixture of household dust
made up 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 the
bag will need to be changed.
If, on the other hand, a large amount of
hair and carpet fluff which typically
contains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the
indicator may fail to react even though
the bag is full. You should still change
it. Both these extremes can occur.
Replacing the dustbag (dia. 23, 24 +
25)
^
Press the release button for the dust
compartment lid and raise the lid as
far as it will go.
The dustbag has a closing flap which
closes automatically when the dust
compartment lid is raised to prevent
any dust escaping.
^
Pull the dustbag out by the grip next
to the self-closing flap on the collar.
^
Fit the new dustbag into the holder as
far as it will go. Leave it folded up
when you take it out of the box.
^
It should be unfolded in the dust
compartment.
