Maintenance and care
,Warning!
Do not leave the appliance when plugged in. Turn off and unplug the appliance before opening the cover.
The Miele filter system consists of three filters which must be replaced from time to time to ensure efficient suction.
–Dustbag (filter bag)
–Exhaust filter
–Dust compartment filter (for motor protection)
Use only genuine Miele dustbags and filters, making sure they are the correct ones for your model. This en- sures optimum performance of the suction power and also ensures that the bag is used to capacity.
Purchasing new dustbags and filters
Dustbags and filters can be purchased from your local Miele Dealer.
Order original Miele dustbags with the letter:
–F/J/M for models S 500 - S 548
–G/N for models S 600 - S 648.
Always quote the model number given on the data plate located underneath the appliance.
A "SUPER air clean" exhaust filter and a dust compartment filter are supplied with every box of Miele dustbags.
If you wish to purchase exhaust filters or dust compartment filters separately, please quote the model number of your appliance when ordering.
You can replace the exhaust filter sup- plied with the vacuum cleaner with one of the other types of filters (see "Re- placing one type of filter with another").
Only use genuine Miele double- layer dustbags and filters. Technical failures and damage from the use of substitute, inferior dustbags and fil- ters will void any product warranty.
