How to change the dust compart-
ment filter (dia. 32)
Open the dust compartment lid.
Pull the dustbag out by the grip on
the collar.
Lift up the filter frame until it clicks
and remove the old filter. Hold by the
clean, unsoiled section to remove it.
Replace with a new dust compart-
ment filter.
Close the filter frame.
Fit the dustbag into the holder as far
as it will go.
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.
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.
11).
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. 16). 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.

Do not use more than one exhaust fil-
ter at a time.
Open the dust compartment lid.

wards as far as it will go.

clean, unsoiled section and take it
out.
Replace it with a new AirClean filter.
