Dustbag Timestrip® Filter Change Indicator - Miele Complete C3 Comfort Electro PowerLine Operating Instructions Manual

Every packet of original Miele dustbags
contains four dustbags, one AirClean
exhaust filter and one motor protection
filter. Original Miele multipacks contain
16 dustbags, four AirClean exhaust fil-
ters and four motor protection filters
(only available in selected countries).
Original Miele exhaust filters can also
be purchased separately from the Miele
Spare Parts Dept. or your Miele dealer.
Please quote the model number of your
vacuum cleaner when ordering to make
sure you get the correct filter. You can
also order all accessories via the Miele
webshop.
You can replace the exhaust filter fitted
in the vacuum cleaner with one of the
other Miele exhaust filters if you wish
(see "Optional accessories").
Dustbag timestrip® filter change in-
dicator
Change the dustbag when the colour
marker in the dustbag timestrip® filter
change indicator turns red, or sooner if
it is no longer effective (see possible
reasons for this below).
Blocked pores reduce the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner.
Dispose of the dustbag when it is full.
Do not attempt to re-use the dustbag.
To check the airflow indicator
 Attach the AllTeQ floorhead to the
suction tube. Do not use any of the
other floorheads or attachments as
they will cause the airflow indicator to
give a false reading.
 Switch the vacuum cleaner on using
the On/Off foot control  and select
the highest power setting on the
Comfort handle.
 Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.
If the marker completely fills the air-
flow indicator, you should replace the
dustbag with a new one.
How the airflow indicator works
The airflow indicator is set for normal
household dust. This generally contains
a mixture of dust, hair, threads, carpet
fluff, grit etc.
However, if the cleaner has been used
to vacuum up fine dust, such as plaster,
brick dust, cement or flour, the pores of
the dustbag will become blocked very
quickly.
This affects the air permeability of the
bag, and the marker will indicate that
the bag is "full" even when it is not. The
dustbag must be replaced if this is the
case.
