rugs, for example Berber or Persian
rugs, as well as extremely long piled
area rugs and carpets, e.g. shag.
There is a danger of the threads
being pulled out. Turn the
Powerbrush off to vacuum these
types of floor coverings and use
only low suction power.

^ For best results, move the
Powerbrush slowly back and forth
over the area you wish to clean.

Maintenance and care

,Turn off and unplug the vacuum
cleaner before performing any
maintenance work.

The Miele filter system consists of the
following three components.
– FilterBag
– Exhaust filter
– Dust compartment filter
Each of these components must be
changed periodically to maintain the
vacuum cleaner’s efficiency.
Only use Miele FilterBags, 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.

,The use of FilterBags made of

paper or a similar material, or
FilterBags 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 filter bags without
the "Original Miele" logo.

Purchasing new FilterBags and filters
Original Miele FilterBags and filters can
be purchased from an authorized Miele
vacuum dealer or by visiting the Miele
store at http://store.miele.com.

13

en
Which FilterBags and filters are the
right ones?
This vacuum cleaner uses Original
Miele FilterBags Type U and an Original
Miele filters, the "Original Miele" Logo
will appear on the packaging or directly
on the FilterBag.

Check the airflow indicator
^ Place the body of the vacuum
cleaner into the full upright position.
^ Use the On/Off button on the handle
to switch the vacuum cleaner on,
then select the highest suction
setting.
^ Tip the vacuum cleaner until you can
read the color marker in the indicator
window. The electrobrush will be
lifted up at the front.

An "Air Clean" exhaust filter and a dust
compartment filter are supplied with
every box of Miele filter bags.
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").
When to change the FilterBag (see
fig. 25)
Change the FilterBag when the colored
marker in the airflow indicator fills the
display.
Miele FilterBags are disposable and
made to be used only once. Do not
attempt to reuse.

14

If the color marker completely fills the
indicator window, the FilterBag needs
to be changed.
How the airflow indicator works
The airflow indicator is designed to
show when the bag is full of common
household dust. It also measures the
amount of air flow through the FilterBag.
Normal household dust is a mixture of
dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, etc.
However, if fine dust, such as drill dust,
sand, plaster or flour is vacuumed, the
pores of the FilterBag may become
blocked. The marker will indicate that
the bag is "full" even though it does not
look "full". The FilterBag should still 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 FilterBag may still be high
enough not to activate the marker to
show maximum. The FilterBag should
still be changed.

en
Changing the FilterBag (see fig. 26,
27 + 28)

Changing the dust compartment filter
(see fig. 29)

^ Place the body of the vacuum
cleaner into the full upright position.

^ Lift the release button for the dust
compartment lid and open until it
clicks into place.
^ Pull the tab on the collar and swing
the FilterBag up and away from the
suction socket before taking it out of

first remove it from the box. Insert the
new FilterBag as far as it will go into
the holder.
^ Unfold the FilterBags in the dust
compartment.
^ Close the dust compartment lid until
it clicks into place, taking care not to
catch the FilterBag in the lid. The
FilterBag is automatically aligned with
the vacuum hole.

blocks the dust compartment lid
from closing if no FilterBag is
inserted or if it is not inserted
correctly. Do not force it closed.

compartment filter (pre-motor filter)

^ Open the filter frame, use the clean
corner to remove the filter.
^ Insert a new filter.
^ Close the filter frame.

Frequently asked questions

Cleaning

What if the vacuum cleaner
automatically shuts off?

,Turn the vacuum cleaner off and
unplug it from the outlet before
performing any maintenance work.
Vacuum cleaner and accessories
The vacuum cleaner and all plastic
accessories can be cleaned using a
damp cloth and a cleaner suitable for
plastics.

,Do not use abrasive, oil-based,
glass or all purpose cleaners!
Dust compartment
If the dust compartment needs to be
cleaned, use another vacuum cleaner,
a dry cloth or dusting brush.

,Do not submerge the vacuum
cleaner in water. If moisture gets
into the appliance, there is the risk
of electric shock.

ComfortLine Models:
The "On" indicator lights red.
PremiumLine Models:
The "§" Thermo indicator lights red.
A temperature sensor will turn off the
vacuum cleaner if it becomes too warm.
This problem can occur if, for example,
an object is blocking the suction tube
or the FilterBags pores have become
clogged with fine dust. The cause
could also be a heavily soiled exhaust
or dust compartment filter.
If this happens, turn off the vacuum
cleaner and the Powerbrush and
unplug the power plug from the
electrical outlet.
Once the cause has been addressed,
allow the vacuum cleaner to cool for
approx. 20 - 30 minutes before
resuming vacuuming.
What if the Powerbrush automatically
shuts off and the indicator displays a
red light?
The blockage protection feature has
been activated. This can occur if
enough threads wrap around the beater
bar or if a large or long object has been
vacuumed up.
If this happens, turn off the Powerbrush,
then switch off and unplug the vacuum
cleaner.
Once the blockage has been removed,
the vacuum cleaner is ready for use.

What if the Powerbrush automatically
shuts off and the indicator displays a
yellow light?
The temperature limiter in the
Powerbrush has been triggered
because of overheating, for example
due to a blockage in the vacuum
hose/wand.
If this happens, turn off the Powerbrush,
then switch off and unplug the vacuum
cleaner.
Once the vacuum hose/wand and all
filters have been inspected, plug in the
vacuum cleaner and turn it on and
vacuum for approx. 10 minutes (leave
the Powerbrush on). This helps cool off
the Powerbrush so that it can be
switched on again.
