WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

▶ Check the voltage rating of the vacuum cleaner before connecting the power cord to an electrical outlet. Your power source should correspond with the voltage rating plate located on the underside of the vacuum. Use only household AC outlets. Never use DC power sources. If you are not sure of your home’s voltage supply, consult a qualified electrician. Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a higher voltage than indicated in these instructions may result in damage to the vacuum cleaner or injury.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.

Technical safety

Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories, check for any visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

▶ Compare the connection data on the data plate of the vacuum cleaner (voltage and frequency) with that of the electricity supply. This data must match exactly. Without modifications, the vacuum cleaner is suited for 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

The electrical outlet must be rated at 15 Amps.

en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

▶ Reliable and safe operation of this vacuum cleaner can only be assured if it has been connected to the electricity supply.
▶ Repairs should only be performed by an authorized service agent in accordance with national and local safety regulations. Unauthorized repairs could cause injury or machine damage. Otherwise the warranty may be void.
Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the power cord, and be careful not to damage the cord when withdrawing the plug from the socket. Keep the cord away from sharp edges and do not let it get pinched, for example, under a door. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over the cord. This could damage the cord, plug or socket. The appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered damage.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the power cord is damaged. If the power cord is damaged it must be replaced together with the cord reel. For safety reasons this must only be done by Miele Service or a Miele authorized service technician.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with a dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from the electrical supply.
▶ Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele-authorized service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons can cause considerable danger to users.

en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

▶ Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components should only be replaced with genuine Miele parts.
The packaging material protects the vacuum cleaner from transport damage. We recommend you keep the packaging for transport purposes.

Proper use

To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum cleaner without the FilterBag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter in place.
The dust compartment cover will not close without a FilterBag inserted. Do not force it.
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or smoking, e.g., cigarettes, ashes or hot ash, whether glowing or apparently extinguished.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water, liquid or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed rugs or carpets are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust. Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
Do not vacuum up any flammable or combustible liquids or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored.

Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction get anywhere near a person's head.

Accessories

▶ To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele turbobrush, do not touch the rotating roller brush.
It is not advisable to vacuum directly with the handle, i.e., without an accessory attached, as the rim could get damaged and you could hurt yourself on sharp edges.
Only use FilterBags, filters, and accessories bearing the “ORIGINAL Miele” logo on the packaging. The manufacturer cannot otherwise guarantee the safety of the product.

Disposing of sales packaging

The packaging material protects the vacuum cleaner from transport damage. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can therefore be recycled.

Recycling the packaging material reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Make sure the packaging is disposed of in the proper manner for your area.

Disposing of the FilterBags and filters

Filterbags 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 FilterBag and filters and dispose of them with your household waste.

Electronic and electrical appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to your health and to the environment if disposed of with general waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with general waste.

Instead, please make use of officially designated collection and disposal points to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances. By law, you are solely responsible for deleting any personal data from the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored for disposal.

Risk of electric shock from volt-

The supply voltage is applied to the appliance even if it is switched off.

After use, unplug the appliance from the electrical socket.

■ Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.

If your vacuum cleaner has a tele- scopic suction wand, retract the parts fully so that it takes up less room for storage.

■ Slot the floorhead downwards into the parking attachment.

If your vacuum cleaner has an Easy-Lock suction wand, you can detach this so that the vacuum cleaner requires less storage space.

■ Press the release button on the lower suction wand section and pull the top section out.

■ Push the connection piece attached to the upper suction wand section into the lower section.

Maintenance

Risk of electric shock from volt-

The supply voltage is applied to the appliance even if it is switched off.

Before carrying out any maintenance work, unplug the appliance from the electrical socket.

The Miele Filtration System consists of 3 accessories:

• original Miele FilterBag (type GN)
• motor protection filter
• original Miele Exhaust Filter

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

It is recommended to use only genuine Miele accessories bearing the “ORIGINAL Miele” logo on the packaging. Only these will guarantee the optimum performance of your vacuum cleaner and the best possible cleaning results.

FilterBags with the "ORIGINAL Miele" logo on the packaging are not made from paper or paper-based materials and nor do they have a cardboard collar. This is why Miele FilterBags are particularly long-lasting and reliable.

Please note that faults and damage caused by use of accessories which do not bear the "ORIGINAL Miele" logo on the packaging are not covered by the vacuum cleaner warranty.

Purchasing FilterBags and filters

Original Miele FilterBags and Filters are available from the Miele web store, Miele Customer Service, and your Miele dealer.

Original Miele FilterBags and Filters are identified by the "ORIGINAL Miele" logo on the packaging.

ORIGINAL Miele

Every packet of original Miele FilterBags contains 4 bags, one AirClean Exhaust Filter, and one motor protection filter. Original Miele multipacks contain 16 FilterBags, 4 AirClean Exhaust Filters, and 4 motor protection filters.

Original Miele Exhaust Filters can also be purchased separately from Miele Customer Service 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 these exhaust filters via the Miele web store.

FilterBag change indicator (Fig. 23)

Change the FilterBag when the color marker in the FilterBag change indicator turns red.

Blocked pores reduce the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. Dispose of the FilterBag when it is full. Do not attempt to re-use the FilterBag.

Checking the FilterBag change indicator

■ Attach the adjustable floorhead or the floorbrush to the vacuum cleaner (included as standard depending on model).
■ Switch the vacuum cleaner on and select the highest power setting.

■ Lift the adjustable floorhead/floor-brush off the floor a little.

How the FilterBag change indicator works

The FilterBag change indicator is designed for normal household dust. This generally contains a mixture of dust, hair, threads, carpet fluff, grit, etc.

However, if the vacuum cleaner has been used to vacuum up fine dust, such as drilling dust, sand, plaster dust, or flour, the pores of the FilterBag will become blocked very quickly.

The indicator will indicate that the bag is “full” even when it is not. The FilterBag must be replaced if this is the case.

If, on the other hand, you vacuum up a significant amount of hair, carpet lint, etc., the FilterBag will be full to bursting before the indicator reacts.

Replacing the FilterBag (Fig. 24)

■ Press both release buttons at the side of the hose connector, and lift the hose from the socket (Fig. 01).
■ Pull the release button for the dust compartment lid upwards and open the lid as far as it will go.

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

① Pull the FilterBag out by the grip on the collar.
② Insert the new FilterBag into the holder as far as it will go. Leave the FilterBag folded up when you take it out of the box.

■ Close the dust compartment lid securely, making sure it clicks into position. Take care not to trap the FilterBag when doing so.

An empty operation lock prevents the dust compartment lid from closing without a FilterBag in place. Do not force it.

■ Insert the hose connector into the suction socket on the vacuum cleaner until it clicks into position.

Replacing the motor protection filter (Fig. 25)

Replace the motor protection filter whenever you start a new packet of FilterBags.

Every packet of original Miele FilterBags contains a motor protection filter. Multi-packs contain 4 motor protection filters.

■ Open the dust compartment lid.
■ Pull the FilterBag out by the grip on the collar.
■ Unclip the filter frame and replace the motor protection filter.
■ Close the filter frame.
■ Insert the FilterBag into the holder as far as it will go.
■ Close the dust compartment lid.

Replacing the AirClean Exhaust Filter (Fig. 26)

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

Replace this exhaust filter every time you start a new packet of Miele FilterBags. Every packet of original Miele

FilterBags contains one AirClean Exhaust Filter. Multipacks contain 4 AirClean Exhaust Filters.

■ Open the dust compartment lid.
① Release the filter grille and raise it upwards. Grasp the used AirClean Exhaust Filter by the clean, unsoiled section (see arrow) and take it out.
② Replace it with a new AirClean Exhaust Filter.

If you wish to install an Active AirClean 30 or HEPA AirClean 30 Exhaust Filter, see “Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another”.

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

Replacing the Active AirClean 30/HEPA AirClean 30 Exhaust Filter (Fig. 27)

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

Replace these exhaust filters if the TimeStrip® exhaust filter change indicator is completely red (Fig. 12). The display will be completely filled with red after approximately 50 operating hours; this corresponds to approximately one year of average use. You can continue vacuuming in this case. However, the suction power will be reduced as will the effectiveness of the filter.

■ Open the dust compartment lid.
① Lift the exhaust filter and remove it.

② Insert a new exhaust filter, making sure it goes in properly, then push it down into position.
■ Press the TimeStrip® exhaust filter change indicator.

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

If you wish to install an AirClean Exhaust Filter, see “Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another”.

■ Close the dust compartment lid.

Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another

Depending on the model, your vacuum cleaner will be equipped as standard with one of the following exhaust filters:

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

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

When changing the filter please note

1. If you wish to replace exhaust filter a with filter b or c, you must completely remove the filter grille before you install the new exhaust filter.

You must also activate the TimeStrip® exhaust filter change indicator.

1. If you wish to replace exhaust filter b or c with exhaust filter a, it is essential that you also install the filter grille* (Fig. 26).

* Filter grille – see “Optional accessories”

Replacing the thread catchers (Figs. 28 + 29)

(only possible for models with an adjustable floorhead included as standard)

The thread catchers on the suction inlet to the floorhead can be replaced. Replace the thread catchers if the pile has worn down.

■ Lift the thread catchers from the slots. To do so use a suitable tool, e.g., a flat-head screwdriver.
■ Install new thread catchers.

Replacement parts are available from your Miele dealer or through Miele Service.

Cleaning and care

Risk of electric shock from volt-

The supply voltage is applied to the appliance even if it is switched off.

Frequently Asked Questions

With the help of the following guide minor faults in the performance of the machine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied without contacting the Service Department.

This guide may help you to find the reason for the fault, and how to correct it.

Risk of electric shock from voltage.

The supply voltage is applied to the appliance even if it is switched off. Before dealing with any problems, unplug the appliance from the electrical socket.

Problem Possible cause

and solution

The vacuum cleaner turns off automatically.

A temperature limiter switches the vacuum cleaner off automatically if it gets too hot.This can occur if, for instance, large objects block the suction wand or when the FilterBag is full or contains particles of fine dust. A heavily soiled motor protection filter or exhaust filter can also be the cause of overheating.■ Switch the vacuum cleaner off immediately using the On/Off foot switch ➀. Unplug from the electrical socket.After removing the cause of the fault, wait for approximately 20–30 minutes to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down. It can then be turned on again.
