 Fit the dustbag into the holder until it
clicks into position (Fig. 36).
 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 the model, your vacuum
cleaner will be fitted as standard with
one of the following exhaust filters (Fig.
08):
a AirClean
Replace this filter every time you start a
new packet of Miele dustbags. Every
packet of original Miele dustbags con-
tains one AirClean exhaust filter. Mul-
tipacks contain 4 AirClean filters.
b AirClean Plus 50 (light blue)
Replace this filter after approx. one
year. Make a note of the date on the ex-
haust filter.
c Silence AirClean 50 (grey)
d Active AirClean 50 (black)
e HEPA AirClean 50 (white)
Replace these filters when the
timestrip® filter change indicator is
completely red (Fig. 13). The indicator
lights up after approximately 50 hours
of operation, 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 reduced as will the effectiveness
of the filter if it is not replaced in good
time.
