Disposal of packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum cleaner 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.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of the dustbag and filters

These are made from environmentally friendly materials. The filters can be disposed of with the normal household waste. The dustbag can also be disposed of in this way if it has been used exclusively for general household dust.

Disposing of your old appliance

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

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Symbol of a trash bin crossed with two crossed lines and a black rectangle below (no text or labels)

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recycling centre, or contact your dealer for advice.

Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

The illustrations referred to in the text are shown on the fold-out pages at the end of these operating instructions.

Preparing for use

Assembling the vacuum cleaner (dia. 1)

■ Raise the vacuum cleaner into the vertical position.
■ Insert the handle into the vacuum cleaner until it clicks into position.

To activate the exhaust filter change indicator

Depending on model, your vacuum cleaner will be fitted as standard with one of the following exhaust filters (dia. 2):

a AirClean

b Active AirClean 30 (black)

c HEPA AirClean 30 (white)

If your vacuum cleaner is fitted with filter b or c, you need to activate the exhaust filter change indicator.

■ Open the lid of the exhaust filter compartment and pull the exhaust filter a little way out of the holder (dia. 3).
■ Remove the label, then put the exhaust filter back in again (dia. 4).
■ Press the exhaust filter change indicator ▶ (dia. 5).

■ After approx. 10 - 15 seconds a thin red stripe will appear in the left hand side of the display (dia. 6).
■ Close the exhaust filter compartment lid.

Exhaust filter change indicator

The exhaust filter change indicator shows the remaining functional life of the exhaust filter. After approx. 50 operating hours, or approx. one year of average use, the display will be completely filled with red (dia. 7).

Use

Unwind the mains cable (dia. 8)

The lower cable hook can be turned in either direction.

■ Turn it upwards to release the cable.

Winding up the mains cable (dia. 9)

When the vacuum cleaner is not in use, the cable can be wound around the two cable hooks.

Secure the mains cable by clamping the plug to the cable (see detail).

Mains cable whilst vacuuming (dia. 10)

■ Whilst vacuuming, the mains cable can be fed through the guide at the side of the upper cable hook (see detail).

This way the mains cable will not get in the way during vacuuming. This also protects the cable from becoming kinked.

To release the vacuum cleaner (dia. 11)

■ Step on the foot release briefly and tilt the vacuum cleaner to a comfortable position for vacuuming.

To switch on and off (dia. 12)

Please observe the flooring manufacturer's cleaning and care instructions.

■ Press the On / Off button on the handle.

The vacuum cleaner will switch on.

Vacuum cleaners with a rotary selector dial: The vacuum cleaner in-operation indicator light in the control unit will light up yellow.

Vacuum cleaners with +/- buttons: The vacuum cleaner suction power settings in the control unit will light up yellow. For good visibility of the working area the light on the floorhead will come on.

To regulate the suction power

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.

Rotary selector (dia. 13)

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

+ / - buttons (dia. 14)

There are symbols on the control unit which indicate the type of use the settings are suitable for.

■ Press the + button to select a higher suction power level.

■ Press the - button to select a lower suction power level.

The setting selected will light up yellow.

Automatic suction power regulation (dia. 15)

(on vacuum cleaners with + / - buttons)

The suction power automatically adjusts itself to suit the type of flooring or carpet being vacuumed.

■ Press the Automatic button.

The button will light up yellow.

To stop using the Automatic setting, simply press the Automatic button again.

⚠️ Do not use the Automatic setting to vacuum lightweight materials or curtains. These could be sucked in and possibly damaged.

Tip (dia. 16)

Obstacles and variations in floor height, for instance when vacuuming over thresholds and the edges of rugs, are easy to cope with.

■ Briefly press the foot release and lift the front of the vacuum cleaner over the obstacle.

Vacuuming using the suction hose

⚠️ Do not use the suction hose at head level to avoid the rist of injury, e.g. to eyes and ears.

⚠ It is not advisable to vacuum directly with the handle of the suction hose, i.e. without an accessory attached, as the rim could get damaged and you could hurt yourself on sharp edges.

⚠️ To prevent the risk of injury when vacuuming the stairs, ensure the vacuum cleaner is placed in a stable position at the bottom of the stairs, or on one of the lower steps.

■ Raise the vacuum cleaner into the vertical position.
■ To access the suction tube handle, press the release button on the telescopic tube (dia. 17).
■ To increase stability turn the elbow joint at the bottom of the hose downwards as illustrated until it clicks into position above the retainer (dia. 18).

During normal vacuuming, the suction hose should be stowed away on the telescopic tube. Make sure the handle is correctly hooked into its holder on the vacuum cleaner (see detail in dia. 17).

Vacuuming using the telescopic tube

⚠ Do not use the telescopic tube at head level to avoid the risk of injury, e.g. to eyes and ears.

⚠️ To prevent the risk of injury when vacuuming the stairs, ensure the vacuum cleaner is placed in a stable position at the bottom of the stairs, or on one of the lower steps.

■ Raise the vacuum cleaner into the vertical position.
■ Lift the handle out of its holder to access the telescopic tube (dia. 19).
■ To increase stability turn the elbow joint at the bottom of the hose downwards as illustrated until it clicks into position above the retainer (dia. 18).

One part of the telescopic tube is packed inside the other, and it can be adjusted to suit your height for comfortable vacuuming.

■ Press the telescopic release button and adjust it to the required height (dia. 20).

For normal vacuum cleaning the telescopic tubes must be pushed back together. Make sure the handle is also correctly hooked into its holder on the cleaner (see detail in dia. 19).

Using the Electrobrush

Recommended use

Please observe the flooring manufacturer's cleaning and care instructions.

The Electrobrush is particularly suitable for intensive vacuuming of carpets which are subject to hard wear. It is very effective at removing deep seated dirt and preventing areas of frequent use being trodden into a path.

⚠️ Please note that the Electrobrush should not be used for vacuuming deep-pile rugs and carpets or valuable hand-knotted rugs and carpets, e.g. Persian and oriental rugs etc. There is a danger of the threads being pulled out. If in doubt, contact the carpet manufacturer/retailer.

⚠ Do not use the Electrobrush to clean highly variable or uneven floors. The brush might come into contact with the floor and cause damage.

Switching the Electrobrush on and off (dia. 21)

To use the Electrobrush, you need to switch it on in addition to the vacuum cleaner with the Carpet button on the handle.

The Electrobrush indicator light on the control unit will light up yellow.

This button also enables you to switch off the Electrobrush during vacuuming.

The Electrobrush will switch itself off automatically as soon as the vacuum cleaner is raised to its up-right position.

How to use the Electrobrush

■ To achieve the best results, pass the Electrobrush slowly backwards and forwards over the carpet or floor.

For rugs and carpets with fringes always draw the Electrobrush from the middle of the rug or carpet across the fringe towards the floor.

Using the accessories supplied (dia. 22)

The following accessories are stowed at the back of the vacuum cleaner.

① Upholstery nozzle
② Crevice nozzle, 300 mm
③ Dusting brush with natural bristles

■ Attach the accessory required onto the suction hose handle or onto the telescopic tube.

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 filters.

① Dustbag
② Dust compartment filter (for motor protection)
③ Exhaust filter

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

Only use 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.

The use of dustbags made from paper or paper-based materials, or dustbags with a cardboard collar, or dustbags that do not carry the "Original Miele" logo, can seriously damage the vacuum cleaner and invalidate the warranty.

Purchasing new dustbags and filters

Original Miele dustbags and filters can be ordered from Miele, your Miele dealer or online at:

Miele www.miele-shop.com

Ordering the correct dustbags and filters

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

An Air Clean 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 online shop. 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. 23)

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.

■ Raise the vacuum cleaner into the vertical position.
■ Switch the vacuum cleaner on with the On / Off button on the handle and select highest power setting.
■ Tilt the vacuum cleaner until you can see the colour marker in the dustbag change indicator easily. The front of the Electrobrush will lift up as you do this.

If the marker completely fills the dust-bag change indicator, you should replace the dustbag with a new one.

How the dustbag change indicator works

The dustbag change indicator is set for normal household dust. This generally contains a mixture of dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, 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. 24, 25 + 26)

■ Raise the vacuum cleaner into the vertical position.
■ Raise the release button and open the lid to its resting position.
■ Pull on the tab at the side of the collar and swing the bag up away from the suction socket before taking it out of its holder.

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

■ 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 dustbag when doing so. The dustbag is then automatically guided into position for vacuuming.

⚠️ The lid will not close without a dustbag in place. Do not force it!

When to change the dust compartment filter (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. 27)

■ Open the dust compartment lid.
■ Remove the dustbag.
■ Unclip the filter frame in the dust compartment 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 dustbag 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. 2):

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 30 (black)

c HEPA AirClean 30 (white)

Replace if the display for the exhaust filter change indicator is completely filled with red (dia. 7).

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. 28, 29 + 30)

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

■ Open the exhaust filter compartment lid.
■ Remove the filter grille.
■ Open the filter grille and remove the used AirClean filter by one of the clean, unsoiled sections.
■ Replace it with a new AirClean filter.

If you wish to fit an Active AirClean 30 filter or a HEPA AirClean 30 filter please see "Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another".

• Secure the catch on the filter grille and replace it inside the exhaust filter compartment.
  ■ Close the exhaust filter compartment lid.

How to replace an Active AirClean 30 filter or a HEPA AirClean 30 filter

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

■ Open the exhaust filter compartment lid.
■ Remove the exhaust filter (dia. 31).
■ Insert the new exhaust filter and press the exhaust filter change indicator ▶ (dia. 5).
■ After approx. 10 - 15 seconds a thin red stripe will appear in the left hand side of the display (dia. 6).

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

■ Close the exhaust filter compartment lid.

Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another

Depending on model, your vacuum cleaner will be fitted as standard with one of the following exhaust filters (dia. 2):

a AirClean
b Active AirClean 30 (black)
c HEPA AirClean 30 (white)

When changing the filter please note:

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

1. If you wish to replace exhaust filter a with filter b or c, it is essential that you remove the filter grille before fitting the new type of filter. You will also need to press the exhaust filter change indicator (dia. 5).
2. If you wish to replace exhaust filter b or c with filter a, it is essential that you also fit the filter grille * (dia. 29).
   * Filter grille - see "Optional accessories".

Maintenance indicator with reset button Ⓧ (dia. 32)

(on vacuum cleaners with + / - buttons)

The indicator lights up after approx. 50 hours of operation, which is equivalent to about a year of average use. The level of soiling of the dust compartment filter and the exhaust filter must be checked at this point. The indicator will need to be reset each time these items are replaced.

The vacuum cleaner must be switched on to do this.

■ Press the reset button ⓣ.

The maintenance indicator will go out and reset to zero.
