When to replace the exhaust filter
Depending on the model, your vacuum
cleaner will be fitted as standard with
one of the following exhaust filters (dia.
12).
a AirClean
Replace this filter every time you start a
new packet of dustbags. Every packet
of original Miele dustbags contains one
AirClean exhaust filter. Multipacks con-
tain four AirClean filters (only available
in selected countries).
b AirClean Plus 50 (light blue)
Replace this filter after approx. one
year. Make a note of the date on the fil-
ter.
c Active AirClean 50 (black)
d HEPA AirClean 50 (white)
Replace this filter when the exhaust fil-
ter timestrip® change indicator is com-
pletely red (dia. 17). The indicator lights
up after approximately 50 hours of op-
eration, which is equivalent to about a
year of average use. You can continue
vacuuming when the light comes on.
However, the suction power will be re-
duced as will the effectiveness of the fil-
ter if it is not replaced in good time.
How to replace the AirClean exhaust
filter (dia. 34 + 35)
Do not use more than one exhaust fil-
ter at a time.
Open the dust compartment lid.
Open the filter grille.
Grasp the used AirClean filter by the
clean, unsoiled section and take it
out.
Replace it with a new AirClean filter.
