could cause a blockage and damage  
the appliance.  
If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust  
~
compartment lid will not close. Do not  
force it shut.  
Do not pull or carry by the cord, use  
~
the cord as a handle, close a door on  
the cord, or pull the cord around sharp  
edges or corners. Do not run the

~
vacuuming with a Miele Power or  
Turbobrush do not touch the rotating  
roller brush. Danger of injury.  
Do not use the vacuum without an  
~
accessory attached. The rim could be  
damaged and injuries could result from  
sharp edges.  
The socket on the vacuum cleaner  
~
(depending on model) must only be  
used for the Miele Powerbrush  
specified for use with this appliance.  
Only use genuine Miele dustbags  
~

,To prevent static electricity your  
hand must touch the metal inlay on  
the underside of the vacuum hand

touch this inlay when vacuuming fine  
dust, flour or sawdust as these  
materials are more likely to create a  
static discharge. To further prevent  
static discharge, pull the vacuum  
along by the hose with one hand  
while continuing to hold the hand  
piece in the other hand.  
Rotary dial  
^ Turn the rotary dial to the desired

Maintenance and care  
Purchasing new dustbags and  
filters  
,Turn off and unplug the vacuum  
cleaner before performing any  
maintenance work.  
Original Miele dustbags and filters can  
be purchased from an authorized Miele  
vacuum dealer or by visiting the Miele  
The Miele filter system consists of the  
following three components.  
– Dustbag  
Which dustbags and filters are  
the right ones?  
– Exhaust filter  
– Dust compartment filter  
This vacuum cleaner uses Original  
Miele dustbags Type F/J/M and an  
Original Miele filters, the "Original Miele"  
Logo will appear on the packaging or  
directly on the dustbag.  
Each of these components must be  
changed periodically to maintain the  
vacuum cleaner’s efficiency.  
Only use Miele dustbags, filters and  
accessories with the "Original Miele"  
logo. Only then can the suction  
power of the vacuum cleaner reach  
its optimum potential creating the  
best possible cleaning results.  
An "Air clean" exhaust filter and a dust  
compartment filter are supplied with  
every box of Miele dustbags.  
,The use of dustbags made of  
paper or a similar material, or  
dustbags 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 dustbags without the "Original  
Miele" logo.  
If you would like to purchase additional  
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  
(see "Exchanging exhaust filters").

Maintenance and care  
When to change the dustbag  
Change the dustbag when the colored  
marker in the airflow indicator fills the  
display.  
Miele dustbags are disposable and  
made to be used only once. Do not  
attempt to reuse.  
Checking the airflow indicator  
^ Attach the standard floor brush  
(depending on model) to the vacuum  
cleaner. Perform this test with the  
standard floor brush only, since other How the airflow indicator works  
attachments can affect the function of  
The airflow indicator is designed to

household dust and measures the  
amount of air flow through the dustbag.  
Normal household dust is a mixture of  
dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, sand,  
etc.  
^ Lift the floor brush slightly off the  
floor. If the marker completely fills the  
indicator window, the dustbag needs  
to be changed.  
However, if fine dust, such as drill dust,  
sand, plaster or flour is vacuumed, the  
pores of the dustbag may become  
blocked. The marker will indicate that  
the bag is "full" even when it is not. The  
dustbag should be changed as the  
suction power is greatly reduced.  
If the bag is bulging with pet fur, hair,  
carpet fluff, etc. the indicator may not  
register "full". This is because the air  
flow of the dustbag may still be high  
enough not to activate the marker to  
show maximum. The dustbag should  
still be changed.

it clicks into place. Take care not to  
catch the dust bag in the lid.  
,A empty-operation-barrier will  
block the dust compartment lid from  
closing if no dustbag is inserted.

cleaner before performing any  
maintenance work.  
What if the vacuum turns off  
automatically?  
The vacuum has overheated. The  
temperature limiter automatically turns  
the vacuum off.  
This can occur if, for instance, large  
articles block the suction tube or when  
the dust bag is full or contains particles  
of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or  
dust compartment filter can also be the  
cause of overheating. Turn the vacuum  
off s and pull the plug from the outlet.  
Check for any blockages and allow the  
vacuum to cool for 30 minutes.
