dustbags, 4 AirClean exhaust filters and
4 motor protection filters (available de-
pending on country).
Original Miele exhaust filters can also
be purchased separately from the Miele
Customer Service Department or your

number of your vacuum cleaner when
ordering to make sure you get the cor-

ters via the Miele webshop.
Dustbag timestrip® filter change indic-
ator (Fig. 23)
Change the dustbag when the colour
marker in the dustbag timestrip® filter
change indicator turns red, or sooner if it
is no longer effective (see possible reas-
ons for this below).
Blocked pores reduce the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner.
Dispose of the dustbag when it is full.
Do not attempt to re-use the dustbag.
To check the airflow indicator
Attach the standard adjustable floor-
head to the vacuum cleaner.
Switch the vacuum cleaner on and se-
lect the highest power setting.
Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.
How the vacuum cleaner bag change
indicator works
The filter change indicator is set for nor-
mal household dust. This generally con-
tains a mixture of dust, hair, threads,
carpet fluff, grit, etc.
However, if the vacuum cleaner has
been used to vacuum up fine dust, such
as drilling dust, sand, plaster dust or
flour, the pores of the vacuum cleaner
bag will become blocked very quickly.
The indicator will indicate that the va-
44
cuum cleaner bag is "full" even when it
is not. The vacuum cleaner bag must be
replaced if this is the case.
If, on the other hand, you vacuum up a
significant amount of hair, carpet lint,
etc., the vacuum cleaner bag will be full
to bursting before the indicator reacts.
Replacing the dustbag (Fig. 24)
Press both release buttons at the side
of the hose connector, and lift the
connector from the suction opening
(Fig. 01).
Pull the release catch upwards and
open the dust compartment lid as far
as it will go (Fig. 08).
The dustbag has a flap which closes
automatically when the dust compart-
ment lid is raised to prevent any dust
escaping.
Pull the dustbag out by the grip on
the collar.
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 se-
curely, making sure it clicks into posi-
tion. 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 opening on the vacuum
cleaner until it clicks into position (Fig.
01).
