Maintenance and care

￿Turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before performing any maintenance work.

The Miele filter system consists of the following three components.

–Dustbag

–Exhaust filter

–Dust compartment filter

Each of these components must be changed periodically to maintain the vacuum cleaner’s efficiency.

Only use Miele dustbags, filters and accessories with the "Original Miele" logo. Only then can the suction power of the vacuum cleaner reach its optimum potential creating the best possible cleaning results.

Purchasing new dustbags and filters

Original Miele dustbags and filters can be purchased from an authorized Miele vacuum dealer or by visiting the Miele store at http://store.miele.com.

Which dustbags and filters are the right ones

This vacuum cleaner uses Original Miele dustbags Type G N and an Original Miele filters, the "Original Miele" Logo will appear on the packaging or directly on the dustbag.

￿The use of dustbags made of paper or a similar material, or dustbags with a cardboard retaining plate can lead to serious damage to the vacuum cleaner and possibly voiding the warranty, just as with the use of dustbags without the "Original Miele" logo.

An "Air clean" exhaust filter and a dust compartment filter are supplied with every box of Miele dustbags.

If you would like to purchase additional Miele filters separately, contact your vacuum dealer or Miele, please quote the model number of your Miele vacuum cleaner to ensure correct parts are ordered. These parts are also available to order from the online Miele store.

The exhaust filter supplied with the vacuum cleaner can be exchanged with another type of Original Miele filter (see "Exchanging exhaust filters").
