Maintenance and care
When to replace the dustbag and filters
Dustbag
The dustbag should be changed when the red marker fills the dustbag change indicator window or when the bag is full. (Make sure the rug and floor tool is attached when testing the vacuum’s suction.)
Miele dust bags are disposable and made to be used once. Do not attempt to reuse.
Dust compartment filter (motor protection)
The dust compartment filter should be changed whenever a new box of genuine Miele dustbags is opened.
A dust compartment filter is included with every box of Miele dustbags.
Exhaust filter
(see "Exchanging exhaust filters" to determine which filter is included in your vacuum)
SUPER air clean filter
Change the filter each time you open a new box of genuine Miele dustbags.
A "SUPER air clean filter" is included in every box of Miele dustbags.
ACTIVE air clean filter
About once a year or as soon as the filter no longer absorbs odors. This filter is sold separately.
HEPA Filter
About once a year or sooner if the airflow is reduced to an inefficient level. This filter is sold separately.
Where to purchase dustbags and filters
Genuine Miele filters and Type K/K dustbags can be purchased from any authorized Miele vacuum dealer.
Technical failures and damage from the use of substitute, inferior dustbags and filters will void any product warranty.
