Every packet of original Miele dustbags contains four dust bags, one AirClean exhaust filter and one motor protection filter. Original Miele multipacks contain 16
dustbags, four AirClean exhaust filters and four motor protection filters (available depending on country).
Original Miele exhaust filters can also be purchased separately from Miele or your Miele dealer. 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 web shop.
Dust bag change indicator (dia. 30)
Change the dustbag when the colour marker in the dust bag change indicator turns red, or sooner if it is no longer effective (see possible reasons for this below).
Miele dust bags are intended to be used only once. Dispose of the dust bag when it is full. Do not attempt to re-use. Blocked pores reduce the suction power of the
vacuum cleaner.
To check the dustbag change indicator
Attach the standard adjustable floorhead to the vacuum cleaner.
Switch the vacuum cleaner on and select the highest power setting.
Lift the floorhead off the floor a little
How the dustbag change indicator works
The dustbag change indicator is set for normal household dust. This generally contains a mixture of dust, hair, threads, carpet fluff, grit etc. However, if the cleaner
has been used to vacuum up fine dust, such as plaster, brick dust, cement or flour, the pores of the dustbag will become blocked very quickly.
This affects the air permeability of the bag, and the marker will indicate that the bag is “full” even when it is not. The dustbag must be replaced if this is the case. If,
on the other hand, a large amount of hair and carpet fluff which typically contains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the indicator may fail to react even though the bag is
full. You should still change it. Both these extremes can occur.
Remove the dustbag (dia. 31)
Press the release catches at the side of the hose connector, and lift the
hose from the socket (dia. 02).
Lift the release catch for the dust compartment lid and raise the lid as
far as it will go (dia. 13).
The dustbag has a flap which closes automatically when the dust compartment lid is raised to prevent any dust escaping.
Pull the dustbag out by the grip on the collar.
Fitting a dustbag (dia. 32)
Fit the new dustbag into the holder as far as it will go. Leave the dustbag folded up when you take it out of the box.
Close the dust compartment lid securely, making sure it clicks into position. Take care not to trap the dustbag when doing so.
A safety device prevents the lid closing without a dustbag in place. Do not force it!
Insert the hose connector into the suction socket on the vacuum cleaner until it clicks into position. To do this, line up the guides on the two pieces (dia. 01).
Replacing the motor protection filter (dia. 33)
Replace the motor protection filter whenever you start a new packet of dustbags. Every packet of original Miele dustbags contains a motor protection filter.
Multipacks contain four motor protection filters (available depending on country).
Open the dust compartment lid.
Pull the dustbag out by the grip on the collar.
Lift up the filter frame until it clicks and remove the old filter. Hold by the clean, unsoiled section to remove it.
Replace with a new motor protection filter.
Close the filter frame.
Fit the dustbag into the holder as far as it will go.
Close the dust compartment lid securely, making sure it clicks into position. Take care not to trap the dustbag when doing so.
Replacing the exhaust filter
Depending on the model, your vacuum cleaner will be fitted as standard with one of the following exhaust filters (dia. 12)
1. a AirClean
Replace this filter every time you start a new packet of Miele dustbags. Every packet of original Miele dustbags contains one AirClean exhaust filter.
Multipacks contain four AirClean filters (available depending on country).
2. AirClean Plus 50 (light blue)
Replace this filter after approx. one year. Make a note of the date on the filter.
3. Active AirClean 50 (black)
4. HEPA AirClean 50 (white)
Replace this filter when the exhaust filter TimeStrip® change indicator is completely red (dia. 17). The indicator lights up after approximately 50 hours of
operation, which is equivalent to about a year of average use. You can continue vacuuming when the light comes on. However, the suction power will be
reduced as will the effectiveness of the filter if it is not replaced in good time.
Replacing the AirClean filter (dia. 34 + 35
Do not use more than one exhaust filter at a time.
Open the dust compartment lid.
