When to replace the exhaust filter

Depending on the model, your vacuum
cleaner will come with one of the fol-
lowing exhaust filters (Fig. 08) as stan-
dard:
a AirClean
Replace this filter every time you start a
new packet of Miele FilterBags. An Air-
Clean exhaust filter is supplied with ev-
ery packet of Miele FilterBags.
b Active AirClean 50 (black)
c HEPA AirClean 50 (white)
Replace if the display for the exhaust fil-
ter change indicator is completely filled
with red (Fig. 13). This occurs after ap-
prox. 50 hours of operation which is
equivalent to about a year of average
use. The vacuum cleaner can still be
used.
However, the suction power will be re-
duced as will the effectiveness of the fil-
ter if it is not replaced in good time.
