Maintenance
Always switch off the vacuum
cleaner for maintenance work and
remove the plug from the outlet.
The Miele filtration system consists of
three components:
– Original Miele FilterBag
– Motor protection filter
– Original Miele exhaust filter
These will need to be replaced from
time to time to ensure that your vacuum
cleaner performs efficiently.
We recommend only using genuine
FilterBags, filters, and accessories
with the "Original Miele" logo on
them. This will ensure that the suc-
tion power of the vacuum cleaner is
maintained, giving the best possible
cleaning results.
FilterBags with the "Original Miele"
logo on them are not made from pa-
per or paper-based materials and nor
do they have a cardboard collar. This
is why our FilterBags are particularly
long-lasting and reliable.
Please note that appliance faults and
damage originating from the use of
accessories which do not carry the
"Original Miele" logo will not be cov-
ered by the appliance guarantee.
Purchasing new FilterBags and filters
Original Miele FilterBags and filters are
available from the Miele Webstore and
your Miele dealer.
Ordering the correct FilterBags and
filters
Only use original Miele GN FilterBags
with a blue collar and original Miele fil-
ters. These are identified by the "ORIGI-
NAL Miele" logo on the packaging.
An AirClean filter and a motor protec-
tion filter are supplied with every packet
of Miele FilterBags.
Original Miele exhaust filters can also
be purchased separately from your
Miele dealer or Miele Technical Service.
Please quote the model number of your
vacuum cleaner when ordering to make
sure you get the correct filter. You can
also order all accessories via the Miele
Webstore.
When to change the FilterBag
(Fig. 35)
Change the FilterBag when the color
marker in the FilterBag change indicator
turns red.
FilterBags are disposable and in-
tended to be used only once. Dis-
pose of the entire FilterBag. Do not
attempt to re-use. Blocked pores re-
duce the efficiency of the vacuum
cleaner.
Checking the FilterBag change indi-
cator
Attach the floor brush to the vacuum
cleaner (depending on the model).
