When to change the exhaust filter
Depending on the model, your vacuum
cleaner will use one of the following ex-
haust filters (see fig. 27):
a
Air Clean
Whenever you start a new box of Miele
FilterBags, you should change this
exhaust filter. A new Air Clean exhaust
filter is included in every box of Miele
FilterBags.
b
Active Air Clean (black)
c
Active HEPA (blue)
These filters should be changed
approximately once a year. You can
make a note of the date directly on the
exhaust filter.
Be sure to have a replacement filter on
hand.
Exhaust filter change indicator
(see fig. 28)
Certain models are equipped with an
indicator (reset button), to show you
when to change the Active Air Clean
b
or Active HEPA
c
filter.
The indicator will turn red after
approximately 50 hours of operation,
which is equivalent to about one year of
average use. Once the indicator light
comes on, you can still continue to use
the vacuum cleaner. However, the filter
performance and suction power will be
reduced.
If an Air Clean filter is being used, the
filter change indicator can be
disregarded but should be reset when
it does light. The indicator goes out
when the reset button is pressed.
Replacing the "Air Clean" filter
(see fig. 29, 30 + 31)
Do not use more than one filter at a
time.
