When to change the exhaust filter
Depending on model, your vacuum
cleaner will be fitted as standard with one
of the following exhaust filters (dia. 9):
a Air Clean
Replace this filter every time you start a
new packet of Miele dustbags. An Air
Clean exhaust filter is supplied with
every packet of Miele dustbags.
b ActiveAirClean 50 (black)
c HEPA AirClean 50 (white)
Replace the exhaust filter if the exhaust
change filter indicator is completely red
(dia. 14).
This occurs after approx. 50 operating
hours, or approx. one year of average
use. The vacuum cleaner can still be
used. However, the suction power will
be reduced as will the effectiveness of
the filter if it is not replaced in good
time.
