Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposing of the dustbag and filters

Dustbags and filters are made from environmentally friendly materials, and can be disposed of with the normal household waste, as long as they have been used exclusively for general household dust.

Disposing of your old appli- ance

Before disposing of your old appliance remove the dustbag and filters and dispose of them with your household waste.

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also responsible by law for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Notes on Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 665/2013 and 666/2013

This vacuum cleaner is a domestic vacuum cleaner and is classified as a universal vacuum cleaner in accordance with the above delegated regulations.

These operating instructions, the EU data sheet and the energy efficiency label for this vacuum cleaner are available to download on the Miele website at www.miele.co.uk.

The annual energy consumption stated on the data sheet and on the energy efficiency label describes the indicative annual energy consumption (kWh per year), based on 50 cleaning cycles. Actual energy consumption depends on how the vacuum cleaner is used.

All tests and calculations were carried out according to the following harmonised standards applicable at the time in due consideration of the published regulation guidelines of the European Commission from September 2014:

a) EN 60312-1 Vacuum cleaners for household use - Part 1: Dry vacuum cleaners - Methods for measuring the performance

b) EN 60704-2-1 Household and similar electrical appliances - Test code for the determination of airborne acoustical noise - Part 2-1: Particular requirements for vacuum cleaners

c) EN 60335-2-2 Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-2: Particular requirements for vacuum cleaner and water suction appliances

Not all floorheads and accessories supplied with the vacuum cleaner are suitable for intensive cleaning of carpets or hard floors as described in the regulations. The following floorheads and settings were used to determine the values:

a) For energy consumption, cleaning class and sound power level on carpet the adjustable floorhead supplied was used in the carpet position (see "Preparing for use").

b) For energy consumption and cleaning class on hard floors the adjustable floorhead supplied was used in the hard floor position (see "Preparing for use"). If your vacuum cleaner is supplied as standard with the SRD hard floor brush, this is designed for intensive vacuuming of hard floors with gaps and crevices and will have been used to determine the above values on hard floors.

The values on the EU data sheet and the energy efficiency label refer exclusively to the combinations and settings of floorheads on the different floor surfaces described here.

Original Miele dustbags, dust compartment filters and exhaust filters were used for all measurements.

Unwind the mains cable (dia. 20)

■ Pull the mains cable out to the required length (max. cable length approx. 6.5 m).
■ Insert the plug into the socket correctly and switch on.

⚠️ If vacuuming for longer than 30 minutes, the mains cable must be pulled out to its fullest extent. Otherwise there is a danger of overheating and damage.

To rewind the cable (dia. 21)

■ Switch off at the wall socket and remove the plug.
■ Press the rewind foot switch. The cable will rewind automatically.

To switch on and off (dia. 22)

■ Press the On/Off foot control ①.

To regulate the suction power (dia. 23)

The suction power can be regulated to suit the type of flooring being cleaned. Reducing the suction power reduces the amount of effort required to manoeuvre the floorhead.

The vacuum cleaner has symbols on the controls which indicate the type of use the settings are suitable for.

Curtains, fabric
Upholstery, cushions
☐ Cut pile carpets, rugs and runners
Energy-saving vacuuming. This setting is also very quiet
Loop pile carpet and rugs
Hard flooring and heavily soiled carpets and rugs

When using the adjustable floorhead, if the suction seems too high, reduce the suction until the floorhead is easier to manoeuvre.

■ Turn the suction power selector manually to the suction power setting you require.

To open the air inlet valve (dia. 24)

It is easy to reduce the suction power for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or other objects being sucked into the vacuum cleaner.

■ Open the air inlet valve on the handle far enough to reduce the suction power.

The floorhead will be easier to manoeuvre. Close the valve when you are ready to use full power again.

During vacuuming

■ When vacuuming, pull the cleaner behind you on its wheels. You can stand it upright for vacuuming stairs and curtains etc.

When vacuuming, in particular fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster, flour, talcum powder etc., electrostatic charges build up naturally. Under certain conditions these charges will be released. To avoid the unpleasant effects of these discharges, a metal inlay has been incorporated into the underside of the handle. Please make sure that you keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during vacuuming (dia. 25).

Setting down, transportation and storage

Park System for pauses during vacuuming (dia. 26)

The Park system allows you to conveniently park the suction tube and floorhead during pauses.

■ Slot the floorhead into the slot in the parking attachment.

If your vacuum cleaner is on a sloping surface, e.g. a ramp, - retract the telescopic suction tube fully - do not use the park system if your vacuum cleaner has an EasyLock suction tube.

Park system for storage (dia. 27 + 28)

⚠️ Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical supply when you have finished using it. Switch it off at the wall socket and unplug it.

If your vacuum cleaner has an Easy-Lock suction tube you can separate the two sections for storage purposes.

■ Press the release button on the lower section and pull the top section out.
■ Push the connection piece attached to the upper tube into the lower tube.
■ Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.

If your vacuum cleaner has a telescopic suction tube, retract the tubes fully so that it takes up less room for storage.

■ Slot the floorhead downwards into one of the parking attachments on the side of the vacuum cleaner.

This makes the vacuum cleaner easier to carry or store.

Maintenance

⚠️ Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical supply for maintenance work and for cleaning. Switch off at the wall socket and unplug it.

The Miele filtration system consists of three components:

• Dustbag
• Dust compartment filter (for motor protection)
• Exhaust filter

These will need to be replaced from time to time to ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs efficiently.

We recommend only using genuine dustbags, filters and accessories with the "Original Miele" logo on them. This will ensure that the suction power of the vacuum cleaner is maintained, giving the best possible cleaning results.

Dustbags with the "Original Miele" logo on them are not made from paper or paper-based materials and nor do they have a cardboard collar. This is why our dustbags are particularly long-lasting and reliable.

Please note that appliance faults and damage originating from the use of accessories which do not carry the "Original Miele" logo will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Purchasing new dustbags and filters

Original Miele dustbags and filters can be ordered from Miele, your Miele dealer, or from the Miele Webshop.

Ordering the correct dustbags and filters

Only use original Miele G/N dustbags with a blue collar and original Miele filters. These are identified by the "Original Miele" logo on the packaging or directly on the dustbag.

An AirClean filter and a dust compartment filter are supplied with every packet of Miele dustbags.

These can also be purchased separately from your Miele Dealer, from Miele or from the Miele Webshop. Please quote the model number of your vacuum cleaner when ordering to make sure you get the correct filter.

When to change the dustbag (dia. 29)

Change the dustbag when the colour marker in the dustbag change indicator turns red, or sooner if it is no longer effective (see possible reasons for this below).

Miele dustbags are disposable and designed for single use only. Dispose of the dustbag when full. Do not attempt to reuse. Blocked pores in used dustbags will reduce the suction power of the vacuum cleaner.

To check the dustbag change indicator

■ Attach the standard adjustable floorhead to the vacuum cleaner.
■ Switch the vacuum cleaner on and select the highest power setting.
■ Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.

How the dustbag change indicator works

The dustbag change 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. If this happens you must still change the dustbag because suction power will be greatly reduced by blocked pores in the dustbag.

If, on the other hand, a large amount of hair and carpet fluff which typically contains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the indicator may fail to react even though the bag is full. You should still change it. Both these extremes can occur.

How to replace the dustbag (dia. 30 + 31)

■ Press the release buttons at the side of the hose connector, and lift the hose from the socket (dia. 02).

■ Lift the release catch for the dust compartment lid and raise the lid as far as it will go (dia. 12).

The dustbag has a closing flap which closes automatically when the dust compartment lid is raised to prevent any dust escaping.

■ Pull the dustbag out by the grip on the collar.
■ Fit the new dustbag into the holder as far as it will go. Leave it folded up when you take it out of the box.
■ It should be unfolded as far as possible in the dust compartment.
■ Close the dust compartment lid securely, making sure it clicks into position. Take care not to trap the dust-bag when doing so.

The lid will not close without a dust-bag in place. Do not force it!

■ Insert the hose connector into the suction socket on the vacuum cleaner until it clicks into position. To do this, line up the guides on the two pieces (dia. 01).

When to change the dust compartment filter (for motor protection)

Replace this filter every time you start a new packet of dustbags. A dust compartment filter is supplied with every packet of Miele dustbags.

How to change the dust compartment filter (dia. 32)

■ Open the dust compartment lid.
■ Pull the dustbag out by the grip on the collar.

■ 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 dust compartment filter.
■ Close the filter frame.
■ Fit the dustbag into the holder as far as it will go.
■ Close the dust compartment lid securely, making sure it clicks into position. Take care not to trap the dust-bag when doing so.

When to replace the exhaust filter

Depending on model, your vacuum cleaner will be fitted as standard with one of the following exhaust filters (dia. 11).

a AirClean

Replace this filter every time you start a new packet of Miele dustbags. An AirClean exhaust filter is supplied with every packet of Miele dustbags.

b Active AirClean 50 (black)
c AirClean Plus 50 (light blue)
d HEPA AirClean 50 (white)

Replace if the display for the exhaust filter change indicator is completely filled with red (dia. 16). This occurs after approx. 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 reduced as will the effectiveness of the filter if it is not replaced in good time.

How to replace the AirClean filter (dia. 33 + 34)

Do not use more than one exhaust filter at a time.

■ Open the dust compartment lid.
■ Release the filter grille and raise it upwards as far as it will go.
■ Grasp the used AirClean filter by the clean, unsoiled section and take it out.
■ Replace it with a new AirClean filter.

If you wish to fit an Active AirClean 50, AirClean Plus 50 or HEPA AirClean 50, see "Maintenance - Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another".

■ Close the filter grille.
■ Close the dust compartment lid.

Replacing the Active AirClean 50, AirClean Plus 50 and HEPA AirClean 50 exhaust filters (dia. 35 + 36)

Do not use more than one exhaust filter at a time.

■ Open the dust compartment lid.
■ Lift the exhaust filter and remove it.
■ Insert a new exhaust filter making it sure it goes in properly, then push it down into position.
■ Press the exhaust filter change indicator (dia. 14).

After approx. 10 - 15 seconds a thin red line will appear in the left hand side of the display (dia. 15).

If you wish to fit an AirClean filter, see "Maintenance - Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another".

■ Close the dust compartment lid.

⚠️ Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. If moisture gets into the appliance, there is a risk of electric shock.

Problem solving guide

Problem

Cause and remedy

The vacuum cleaner switches off automatically.

A temperature limiter switches the vacuum cleaner off automatically if it gets too hot.This can occur if, for instance, large articles block the suction tube or when the dustbag is full or contains particles of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or dust compartment filter can also be the cause of overheating.■ Switch the vacuum cleaner off immediately using the On/Off foot control 1. Disconnect from the electricity supply. Switch off at the wall socket and unplug it.After removing the cause, wait for approximately 20 - 30 minutes to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down. It can then be switched on again.
