giving the best possible cleaning

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.

dealer or online at:

Ordering the correct dustbags and

Only use original Miele K/K dustbags

with a yellow 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 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.

Switch the vacuum cleaner on and

select the highest power setting.

^ Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.

How the dustbag change indicator

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.

Press the dust compartment release

button and raise the lid.

Holding the bag by the collar, lift it

away from the suction socket and

then pull it out of its holder.

The dustbag has a closing flap which

closes automatically when the dustbag

is removed from the vacuum cleaner to

prevent any dust escaping.

Fit the new dustbag into the yellow

holder as far as it will go. Leave it

folded up when you take it out of the

possible in the dust compartment.
