Operation
Unwinding and rewinding the
mains cable
Unwinding
^ Hold the plug and unwind cable to
the required length (max. approx. 5.5
metres).
Warning: If vacuuming for longer
than 30 minutes, the mains cable
must be pulled out to its fullest
extent. Otherwise there is a danger
of overheating and damage.
Rewinding
^ Switch off at the wall socket and
remove the plug.
^ Press the rewind switch. The cable
will rewind automatically.

Operation
Switching on and off
^ Press the On-Off switch.
Vacuuming
^ When vacuuming pull the cleaner
behind you on its wheels. You can
stand it upright for vacuuming stairs
and curtains etc.
Warning: When vacuuming
especially fine dust, e.g. sawdust,
sand, plaster, flour, talcum powder
etc., electrostatic charges build up
naturally. Under certain conditions
these charges will be released. To
avoid the unpleasant effects of these
discharges, a metal inlay has been
incorporated into the underside of
the handle. Please make sure that
you keep your hand in constant
contact with this metal strip during
vacuuming.

Operation
Regulating the suction
(for models with a rotary suction power
selector)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring. The higher the
setting the more powerful the suction.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to
manoeuvre the floorhead. Setting the
suction power selector according to the
degree of soiling and type of flooring
being cleaned, will save energy.
Smooth or lightly soiled flooring is easily
cleaned using the Economy u setting.
Fitted carpets and thick pile carpets
require the most powerful setting to
remove ingrained soiling.
^ Turn the rotary selector manually to
the suction power setting you require.
Opening the air inlet valve
Opening the air inlet valve reduces the
suction power quickly for brief periods,
e.g. to prevent damage to the fringes of
a rug when moving from cleaning a
carpeted floor to a rug, or to prevent
something being vacuumed up by
mistake.
^ Open the air inlet valve far enough to
reduce the suction power.
The floorhead will be easier to
manoeuvre. Close the valve when you
are ready to use full power again.

Operation
Park system
A Park system has been designed for
conveniently parking the vacuum
cleaner during pauses.
^ Fit the floorhead into the parking
attachment at the back the vacuum
cleaner.
Transportation and storage
^ Stand the vacuum cleaner upright
when it is not being used and during
storage.
^ Fit the floorhead into the parking
attachment on the side of the vacuum
cleaner.
This makes the cleaner easier to carry
or store.

Checking the dustbag change

^ Attach the standard floorhead to the

time to time to ensure that your cleaner
performs efficiently.
Depending on model your vacuum

one of the following exhaust filters:

2. ACTIVE air clean filter or
3. ACTIVE HEPA filter

Maintenance and care
ACTIVE air clean filter
The ACTIVE air clean and ACTIVE
HEPA filters should be replaced at
least once a year, and more often if
obviously soiled or no longer
effective. We suggest that you mark
the date you start using it on the
label. If you do not have one of
these filters available you can use
the SUPER air clean filter supplied
with every packet of Miele dustbags
instead. To use the SUPER air clean
filter you will have to fit a filter frame*
in place of the ACTIVE air clean or
ACTIVE HEPA filter and fit the
SUPER air clean filter underneath
the filter frame.
If your vacuum cleaner is fitted with an
ACTIVE air clean filter and you wish to
go on using this type of filter make sure
that you purchase a replacement in
good time.
The ACTIVE air clean filter is a special
active charcoal filter which contains
charcoal to absorb odours from the
dust collected in the dustbag. It helps
to prevent a build-up of odours.
Do not use aroma capsules in your
cleaner if you use this filter. The
charcoal in the filter will absorb their
aroma rendering them ineffective.
There is no difference in filtration levels
between the ACTIVE air clean filter and
the SUPER air clean filter.
* Filter frame - see "Optional
accessories"
ACTIVE HEPA filter
If your vacuum cleaner is fitted with an
ACTIVE HEPA filter and you wish to go
on using this type of filter make sure
that you purchase a replacement in
good time.
The ACTIVE HEPA filter is a special
combi filter which contains active
charcoal to absorb odours from the
dust collected in the dustbag. It helps
to prevent a build-up of odours. It is
also a particle filter conforming to EN
1822 HEPA Classification 12 and is
able to filter out very fine particles and
micro-organisms. Vacuum cleaners
equipped with this exhaust filter are
particularly suitable for allergy sufferers
and those concerned with a high level
of hygiene. Do not use aroma capsules
in your cleaner if you use this filter. The
charcoal in the filter will absorb their
aroma rendering them ineffective.

closes automatically when the dustbag
is removed to prevent any dust
escaping.
It can then be disposed of with the
normal household waste as long as it
has only been used for vacuuming up
normal household dust.
Do not unfold the new bag when you
take it out of the packet. This way it will
not get trapped when you shut the dust

Warning: Always disconnect the
vacuum cleaner from the electrical
supply for maintenance work and for
cleaning. Switch off at the wall
socket and remove the plug (pull on
the plug, not the cable). If using the
ACCU NOVA floorhead, switch this
off as well.
The dust compartment can, if
necessary, be cleaned using a dry
duster, brush or, if available, a second
vacuum cleaner to vacuum the dust
out.
Warning: Do not let the vacuum
cleaner get wet. If moisture gets into
the appliance there is a risk of
electric shock.
Vacuum cleaner and accessories
External surfaces of the vacuum
cleaner and of the accessories can be
cleaned with a dry cloth or a slightly
damp cloth or with a proprietary
cleaner suitable for plastic.
E-Cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
Miele which is suitable for cleaning
surfaces such as stainless steel, glass,
plastic and chrome without the use of
chemicals. It can be washed 300 times.
Warning: Do not use abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners or
all-purpose cleaners. Because of
their chemical composition they
could cause serious damage to
plastic components.

Problem solving guide / After sales service
The vacuum cleaner has switched
itself off automatically
A temperature limiter switches the
vacuum cleaner off automatically if it
gets too hot. Some models also have
an overheating warning light , which
comes on to let you know that your
cleaner has overheated.
Overheating can occur if, for instance,
large articles block the suction tube or
the dustbag is full or contains particles
of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or
dust compartment filter can also be the
cause of overheating. Switch off the
vacuum cleaner using the On-Off
switch.
After removing the cause, wait for a
period of approx. 20 - 30 minutes, to
allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down.
It can then be switched on again.

Optional accessories
ACTIVE air clean filter
The ACTIVE air clean filter is a special
active charcoal filter which absorbs
odours from the dust collected in the
dustbag. It helps to prevent the
build-up of odours. Do not use aroma
capsules in your cleaner if you use this
filter. The charcoal in the filter will
absorb their aroma rendering them
ineffective. The ACTIVE air clean filter
can be used instead of the existing
exhaust filter. If used instead of the
SUPER air clean filter you will have to
remove the filter frame from the cleaner.
There is no difference in filtration level
between the ACTIVE air clean filter and
the SUPER air clean filter.
ACTIVE HEPA filter
The ACTIVE HEPA filter is a special
combi filter containing charcoal which
absorbs odours from the dust collected
in the dustbag. It helps to prevent the
build-up of odours. Do not use aroma
capsules in your cleaner if you use this
filter. The charcoal in the filter will
absorb their aroma rendering them
ineffective. It is also a particle filter
conforming to EN 1822 HEPA
Classification 12 and is able to filter out
very fine particles and
micro-organisms. Vacuum cleaners
equipped with this exhaust filter are
particularly suitable for allergy sufferers
and those concerned with a high level
of hygiene. The ACTIVE HEPA filter can
be inserted in place of the existing
exhaust filter. If used instead of the
SUPER air clean filter you will have to
remove the filter frame from the cleaner.
