Close the dust compartment lid se-
curely, making sure it clicks into posi-
tion. Take care not to trap the dust-
bag when doing so.
The lid will not close without a dust-
bag in place. Do not force it!
Insert the hose connector into the
suction socket on the vacuum
cleaner until it clicks into position. To
do this, line up the guides on the two
pieces (dia. 01).
When to change the dust compart-
ment filter (for motor protection)
Replace this filter every time you start a

partment filter is supplied with every
packet of Miele dustbags.
How to change the dust compart-
ment filter (dia. 37)
Open the dust compartment lid.
Pull the dustbag out by the grip on
the collar.
Open the blue filter frame fully and
remove the old filter. Hold by the
clean, unsoiled section to remove it.
Replace with a new dust compart-
ment filter.

When to replace the exhaust filter
Depending on model, your vacuum
cleaner will be fitted as standard with
one of the following exhaust filters (dia.
10).
a AirClean
Replace this filter every time you start a
new packet of Miele dustbags. An
AirClean exhaust filter is supplied with
every packet of Miele dustbags.
b Active AirClean 50 (black)
c AirClean Plus 50 (light blue)
d HEPA AirClean 50 (white)
Replace if the display for the exhaust fil-
ter change indicator is completely filled
with red (dia. 15). This occurs after ap-
prox. 50 hours of operation which is
equivalent to about a 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.
How to replace the AirClean filter
(dia. 38 + 39)
Do not use more than one exhaust fil-
ter at a time.
Open the dust compartment lid.
Press the release catch on the filter
grille and open the grille until it clicks.
Grasp the used AirClean filter by one
of the clean, unsoiled sections and
take it out.
Replace it with a new AirClean ex-
haust filter.
