Maintenance
Risk of electric shock from mains
voltage.
The mains voltage is applied to the
appliance even if it is switched off.
Before carrying out any maintenance
work, switch the appliance off at the
wall socket and unplug it.
The Miele filtration system consists of 3
accessories:
- Original Miele dustbag (type GN)
- Motor protection filter
- Original Miele exhaust filter
These accessories will need to be re-
placed from time to time to ensure that
your vacuum cleaner performs effi-
ciently.
We recommend using only genuine
Miele accessories bearing the Miele
logo on the packaging. Only these will
guarantee the optimum suction power
of your vacuum cleaner and the best
possible cleaning results.
Vacuum cleaner bags with the Miele
logo on the packaging are not made
from paper or paper-based materials,
nor do they have a cardboard collar.
This is why Miele dustbags are partic-
ularly long-lasting and reliable.
Please note that faults and damage
caused by use of accessories which do
not bear the Miele logo on the pack-
aging are not covered by the vacuum
cleaner warranty.
Purchasing accessories
Original Miele accessories are available
from the Miele webshop, the Miele
Customer Service Department and from

Original Miele accessories are identified

With 3D4U, Miele also offers free ac-
cessories to download for your 3D
printer (www.miele.com, Service,
3D4U).
Every packet of original Miele dustbags
contains 4 dustbags, one AirClean ex-
haust filter and one motor protection fil-
ter. Original Miele multipacks contain 16
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
Miele dealer. Please quote the model
number of your vacuum cleaner when
ordering to make sure you get the cor-
rect filter. You can also order these fil-
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.
