An AirClean filter and a dust compart-
ment filter are supplied with every
packet of Miele dustbags.
These can also be purchased separ-
ately from your Miele Dealer, from Miele
or from the Miele Webshop. Please
quote the model number of your va-
cuum cleaner when ordering to make
sure you get the correct filter.
When to change the dustbag (dia. 34)
Change the dustbag when the colour
marker in the dustbag change indicator
turns red, or sooner if it is no longer ef-
fective (see possible reasons for this
below).
Miele dustbags are disposable and
designed for single use only. Dispose
of the dustbag when full. Do not at-
tempt to reuse. Blocked pores in
used dustbags will reduce the suc-
tion power of the vacuum cleaner.
To check the dustbag change indic-
ator
 Attach the standard adjustable floor-
head 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
52
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. If
this happens you must still change the
dustbag because suction power will be
greatly reduced by blocked pores in the
dustbag.
If, on the other hand, a large amount of
hair and carpet fluff which typically con-
tains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the in-
dicator may fail to react even though
the bag is full. For this reason, you
should check the dustbag regularly and
change it if necessary. Both these ex-
tremes can occur.

How to replace the dustbag

(dia. 35 + 36)
 Press the release buttons 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. 11).
The dustbag has a closing 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.
 Fit the new dustbag into the blue
holder as far as it will go. Leave it fol-
ded up when you take it out of the
box.
 It should be unfolded as far as pos-
sible in the dust compartment.
