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 motor protection
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 the model, your vacuum
cleaner will be fitted as standard with
one of the following exhaust filters.
a AirClean
Replace this filter every time you start a
new packet of dustbags. Every packet
of original Miele dustbags contains one
AirClean exhaust filter. Multipacks con-
tain four AirClean filters (only available
in selected countries).
b AirClean Plus 50 (light blue)
Replace this filter after approx. one
year. Make a note of the date on the fil-
ter.
c Active AirClean 50 (black)
d HEPA AirClean 50 (white)
Replace this filter when the exhaust fil-
ter timestrip® change indicator is com-
pletely red. The indicator lights up after
approximately 50 hours of operation,
which is equivalent to about a year of
average use. You can continue vacuum-
ing 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.
