How the FilterBag change indicator
works
The FilterBag change indicator is set for
normal household dust. This generally
contains a mixture of dust, hair,
threads, carpet lint, 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 FilterBag 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
FilterBag because suction power will be
greatly reduced by blocked pores in the
FilterBag.
If, on the other hand, a large amount of
hair and carpet lint 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 FilterBag (Fig. 25)
 Press both release buttons at the side
of the hose connector, and lift the
hose from the socket (Fig. 01).
 Pull the release catch for the dust
compartment lid upwards and open
the lid as far as it will go (Fig. 08).
The FilterBag has a flap which closes
automatically when the dust compart-
ment lid is raised to prevent any dust
escaping.

Pull the FilterBag out by the grip on
the collar.
 Fit the new FilterBag into the holder
as far as it will go. Leave it folded up
when you take it out of the box.
 Close the dust compartment lid se-
curely, making sure it clicks into posi-
tion. Take care not to trap the Fil-
terBag when doing so.
An empty operation lock prevents
the dust compartment lid from clos-
ing without a FilterBag in place. Do
not use force!

Insert the hose connector into the
suction socket on the vacuum
cleaner until it clicks into posi-
tion (Fig. 01).
When to change the motor protection
filter
Replace this filter every time you start a
new packet of filter bags.
Every packet of original Miele filter bags
contains a motor protection filter. Multi-
packs contain four motor protection fil-
ters.
