paper or a similar material, or filter
bags 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 filter bags without the
"Original Miele" logo.

be purchased from an authorized Miele
vacuum dealer or by visiting the Miele
online store.

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

How the airflow indicator works

household dust and measures the
amount of air flow through the filter bag.
Normal household dust is a mixture of
dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, sand,
etc.
