Cleaning The Filter Frame; Cleaning The Fine Dust Filter; Starting The Comfortclean Self-Cleaning Function Manually; When To Change The Thread Lifters - Miele HS16 Operating Instructions Manual

Cleaning the dust container
Clean the dust container as required.
 Clean the dust container using water
and mild washing-up liquid.
 Dry the dust container thoroughly.
Cleaning the filter frame (dia. 25 + 26)
A removable filter frame is located in the
dust container. This should be cleaned
if it is obviously dirty.
 Place the emptied and open dust
container on its front.
 Release the filter frame and remove it.
 Empty the filter frame and rinse it un-
der cold running water.

Do not use washing-up liquid.
Do not use any sharp or pointed ob-
jects.
Dry the filter frame carefully.
 Replace the dry filter frame in the
dust container so that it audibly clicks
into place.

Cleaning the fine dust filter

The fine dust filter is equipped with a
self-cleaning function. When a specified
degree of soiling is reached, the va-
cuum cleaner switches off automatically
for approx. 20 seconds and carries out
a cleaning process. You will hear this
process running.
The ComfortClean button on the va-
cuum cleaner lights up yellow.
Starting the ComfortClean self-clean-
ing function manually (dia. 27)
If you vacuum a large amount of dust in
one go, you should start the Comfort-
Clean self-cleaning function manually
either during a vacuuming pause or im-
mediately afterwards. This enables the
vacuum cleaner to achieve the very
best cleaning performance again
straight away.
 With the vacuum cleaner switched
on, press the ComfortClean button
for at least 2 seconds.
The vacuum cleaner is switched off
automatically for approx. 20 seconds
and a cleaning process is carried out
which results in operational noise.
The ComfortClean button on the va-
cuum cleaner lights up yellow.
The vacuum cleaner will then switch
back on automatically and will operate
with the previously selected power
level.
We also recommend emptying and
cleaning the fine dust container once or
twice a year (see "Fault resolution" –
"Cleaning the fine dust filter manually").

When to change the thread lifters

(not possible on EcoTeQ Plus floor-
heads)
The thread lifters on the suction inlet to
the floorhead can be replaced. Check
them from time to time and replace
them if the pile has worn down.
How to replace the thread
lifters (dia. 28)
 Use a suitable screwdriver to remove
the thread lifters from the slots.
