FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - S 5980 MIELE

Comment changer le sac à poussière de mon Miele S 5980 ?

Soulevez le couvercle du compartiment à poussière en appuyant sur le bouton de déverrouillage. Retirez le sac usagé en tirant sur le collier par les deux trous. Le rabat se ferme automatiquement. Insérez un nouveau sac Miele G/N à fond dans le support. Refermez le couvercle jusqu'à ce qu'il s'enclenche.

Quand dois-je changer le filtre HEPA de mon aspirateur ?

Le voyant du filtre (bouton Reset) s'allume après environ 50 heures d'utilisation (environ un an). Remplacez-le dès que le voyant s'allume pour maintenir l'efficacité. Vous pouvez continuer à aspirer mais la puissance sera réduite.

Comment réinitialiser l'indicateur de changement de filtre ?

Assurez-vous que l'aspirateur est branché. Appuyez et maintenez le bouton de l'indicateur de filtre jusqu'à ce que la lumière s'éteigne. Cela réinitialise le compteur. Note : l'indicateur ne se réinitialise que s'il est allumé au moment de la pression.

Que faire si l'aspirateur s'arrête automatiquement pendant l'utilisation ?

Cela indique une surchauffe. Le limiteur de température coupe l'alimentation. Débranchez l'aspirateur, vérifiez les obstructions dans le tube ou le sac. Un sac plein ou un filtre obstrué peut en être la cause. Laissez refroidir 30 minutes avant de redémarrer.

Puis-je utiliser des sacs à poussière non Miele ?

Il est fortement recommandé d'utiliser uniquement des sacs Miele originaux avec le signe de qualité. Les sacs non Miele peuvent endommager l'aspirateur et réduire les performances. Les sacs Miele garantissent une capacité optimale et une protection du moteur.

Comment utiliser la Powerbrush sur différents types de sols ?

La Powerbrush est idéale pour les moquettes et les sols durs robustes. Pour les sols délicats (parquet, carrelage), utilisez la brosse sol standard ou une brosse spéciale Miele. Désactivez la Powerbrush via le bouton au poignet pour les tapis précieux ou les sols sensibles.

Comment nettoyer le compartiment à poussière de mon aspirateur ?

Débranchez l'aspirateur. Ouvrez le couvercle du compartiment. Utilisez un chiffon sec ou une petite brosse pour enlever la poussière. Vous pouvez aussi utiliser un autre aspirateur. Ne jamais utiliser d'eau ou de nettoyants liquides pour éviter les risques électriques.

Comment ajuster le tube télescopique à ma taille ?

Appuyez sur le bouton de déverrouillage du tube télescopique situé sur le tube. Faites glisser le tube intérieur pour régler la hauteur souhaitée. Relâchez le bouton pour verrouiller. Assurez-vous que le tube est bien fixé avant d'aspirer.

Que faire si le voyant de changement de sac s'allume alors que le sac semble peu plein ?

Si vous avez aspiré des fines poussières (perceuse, plâtre, farine), les pores du sac peuvent se boucher et déclencher l'indicateur prématurément. Dans ce cas, changez le sac car la puissance d'aspiration est réduite. Pour les poils d'animaux, l'indicateur peut ne pas s'allumer malgré un sac plein ; changez-le régulièrement.

Comment remplacer le filtre du compartiment à poussière (filtre moteur) ?

Ce filtre doit être changé à chaque nouvelle boîte de sacs Miele. Ouvrez le couvercle du compartiment, retirez l'ancien filtre et insérez le nouveau. Refermez le couvercle. Ce filtre est inclus dans chaque boîte de sacs Miele.

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by non-compliance of these Important Safety Instructions.

WARNING-

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

Before using

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.
A damaged vacuum cleaner can be dangerous. Check the packaging, vacuum cleaner and accessories for any signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or submerged in water, bring it to a service center.
The electrical outlet must be fitted with a 15 A fuse.

Use

Do not use on people or on animals.
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces. Only dry surfaces should be vacuumed.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only Miele recommended accessories.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by non-compliance with these Important Safety Instructions. This appliance is intended strictly for household use only.
Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
Never use the vacuum cleaner without the dustbag or filters in place. Otherwise it could be damaged.
If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust compartment lid will not close. Do not force it shut.
Do not leave the vacuum plugged in. Unplug it from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.

To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele Power or Turbobrush do not touch the rotating roller brush. Danger of injury.

The socket on the vacuum cleaner (depending on model) must only be used for the Miele Powerbrush specified for use with this appliance.
Danger of injury. The Miele Powerbrush is a motor driven accessory for use only with Miele vacuum cleaners. The vacuum must not be used with another manufacturer's powerbrush.
Do not use the vacuum without an accessory attached. The rim could be damaged and injuries could result from sharp edges.
Miele dust bags are disposable and intended to be used only once. Do not attempt to reuse them. An over stuffed dustbag will reduce the efficiency of the vacuum.
Only use genuine Miele dustbags with the Miele quality signet and original Miele filter and accessories. Only then will the manufacturer guarantee its safety.

Cleaning, maintenance and repairs

Turning the Powerbrush on and off

The Powerbrush is turned on and off separately from the vacuum cleaner by pressing the switch on the handpiece.

The button allows you to turn off the Powerbrush, e.g. when moving from wall-to-wall carpeting to a persian rug.

Park-System

(Unable to be used with the powerbrush SEB 236)

A Park-System has been designed to conveniently park the telescopic wand at the vacuum cleaner during pauses.

A special parking attachment is fitted to all floor brushes. Insert the lower clip on the floor brush into the slot on the end of the vacuum cleaner from above.

Turning on and off with the Park-System

Parking the floor brush while vacuuming automatically turns the vacuum off. Lifting the floor brush out of the Park-System turns the vacuum back on.

Transport and storage

For easier transportation and storage stand the vacuum cleaner vertically.
Insert both clips of the floor brush into the two point holder on either side of the vacuum (this function cannot be used with the Powerbrush SEB 236).

To use one of the following floor tools, the supplied extension wand, A, must be inserted between the floor tool and electro telescopic wand.

• Standard floor brush
  -Turbobrush
• Hard floor brush

This makes the vacuum easier to carry and store. Push the parts of the electro telescopic wand into each other for greater stability.

Turn off and unplug the vacuum before performing any maintenance work.

The Miele filter system consists of the following three components.

• Dustbag
• Exhaust filter
• Dust compartment filter

Each of these filters must be changed periodically to maintain the vacuum's efficiency.

Use only Miele dustbags with the Miele quality signet and an original Miele filter. This ensures optimum performance of the suction power and also ensures that the bag is used to capacity. The use of non-Miele dustbags could cause damage to the vacuum cleaner.

Purchasing new dustbags and filters

Replacement dustbags and filters can be purchased from any authorized Miele vacuum dealer or Miele.

Which dustbags and filters are the right ones?

Purchase original Miele dustbags with the letter G/N.

A "SUPER air clean" exhaust filter and a dust compartment filter are supplied with every box of Miele dustbags. If you wish to purchase exhaust filters or dust compartment filters separately, please quote the model number on the data plate located underneath the vacuum.

You can replace the exhaust filter supplied with the vacuum cleaner with another type of filter (see "Exchanging exhaust filters").

When to change the dustbag

Change the dustbag when the colored marker in the dustbag change indicator fills the display.

Miele dust bags are disposable and made to be used only once. Do not attempt to reuse.

Checking the dustbag change indicator

• Attach the floor tool to the vacuum cleaner. Perform this test with the floor tool only, since other attachments can affect the function of the dustbag change indicator.
  Turn the vacuum cleaner on and select the highest power setting.
• Lift the floor brush slightly off the floor. If the marker completely fills the indicator window, the dust bag needs to be changed.

How the dustbag change indicator works

The dustbag change indicator is designed to show when the bag is full of common household dust and measures the amount of air flow through the dustbag. Normal household dust is a mixture of dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, sand, etc.

However, if fine dust, such as drill dust, sand, plaster or flour is vacuumed, the pores of the dustbag may become blocked. The marker will indicate that the bag is "full" even when it is not. The dustbag should be changed as the suction power is greatly reduced.

If the bag is bulging with pet fur, hair, carpet fluff, etc. the indicator may not register "full". This is because the air flow of the dustbag may still be high enough not to activate the marker to show maximum. The dustbag should still be changed.

How to change the dustbag

• Lift the release button for the dust compartment lid and raise the lid until it clicks into place.
• Grasp the collar by the two finger holes and pull it out from the dustbag holder.

The dustbag has a flap which closes automatically to prevent dust from escaping when the dustbag is removed.

Insert the new dust bag as far as it will go into the dustbag holder. Do not unfold the dustbag when taking it out of the box. Keeping it folded will prevent it from getting caught when the dust compartment lid is closed.
- Close the dust compartment lid until it clicks into place. Take care not to jam the dust bag in the lid.

An empty-operation-barrier blocks the dust compartment lid from closing if no dustbag is inserted or if it is not inserted all the way. Do not force it closed!

When to change the exhaust filter

Always change the ACTIVE HEPA filter when the filter change indicator (Reset button) lights. It is designed to light after approximately 50 hours of operation which is about a year of average use. You can continue to vacuum. However, the suction power will be reduced as will the effectiveness of the filter if it is not replaced.

You can replace the "ACTIVE HEPA" filter supplied with the cleaner with a "SUPER air clean" or an "ACTIVE air clean" filter (see "Exchanging exhaust filters").

Replacing the "ACTIVE HEPA" filter

Open the dust compartment lid.
Lift and remove the filter.

Insert a new filter and press it downwards.
- Close the dust compartment lid firmly until it clicks into place.

Resetting the filter change indicator

The filter change indicator (Reset button) must be reset each time the filter is replaced. To do this, the vacuum cleaner must be plugged in.

Press and hold the filter change indicator light until it goes out.

The display is now reset.

The indicator is only reset if pressed while lit. If the indicator is pressed while not lit, it will not be reset.

Exchanging Exhaust Filters

You can replace the c ACTIVE HEPA filter which is fitted as standard to your vacuum cleaner with either the:

a Super Air Clean
b Active Air Clean (black)

If replacing c with a, please note:

If you use the exhaust filter a you have to insert it into a filter frame, see "Included accessories".

The dust filter reset button is designed for the changing cycle of the Active Air Clean filter and the Active HEPA filter. If a Super Air Clean filter is used, the reset button can be disregarded. The Super Air Clean filter should be changed whenever a new box of Miele dustbags is opened. The indicator goes out when the reset button is pressed.

When to change the dust compartment filter

Change the filter each time you open a new box of genuine Miele dustbags. A dust compartment filter is supplied with every box of Miele dustbags.

How to change the exhaust filter

Open the dust compartment lid.
- Lift the filter frame and remove the used exhaust filter at the clean side.
Insert the new filter.
Close the filter frame.

When to change the thread catcher

The thread catcher pads on the bottom of the rug and floor tool and the upholstery tool should be replaced as soon as they appear worn.

Changing the thread catcher

• Use a knife or similar object to remove the thread catcher pads from the slots.
  Press the new thread catchers into the slots.

Servicing the floor roller

Use a coin to release the roller pin and pull it out.
Push and take out the roller axle.
Take out the roller.
Remove all threads, hair, etc. and reassemble the parts.

New thread catcher pads can be purchased from any authorized Miele vacuum dealer or Miele.

Turn off the vacuum and unplug it from the outlet before performing any maintenance work.

Vacuum cleaner and accessories

The vacuum cleaner and other plastic accessories can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a cleaner suitable for plastics.

Do not use abrasive, glass or all purpose cleaners! They will damage the surface.

Dust compartment

The dust compartment can, if necessary, be cleaned using a dry cloth, dusting brush or a second vacuum to remove any dust.

Monitor the change dustbag indicator and inspect all filters regularly. Clean or replace them when necessary according to these Operating Instructions.

Do not submerge the vacuum in water! If moisture gets into the appliance there is the risk of an electric shock.

What if the vacuum turns off automatically. A warning light comes on to indicate overheating.

The vacuum has overheated. The temperature limiter automatically turns the vacuum off.

This can occur if, for instance, large articles block the suction tube or when the filter bag is full or contains particles of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or dust compartment filter can also be the cause of overheating. Turn the vacuum off and pull the plug from the outlet.

Check for any blockages and allow the vacuum to cool for 30 minutes.

In the event of a fault which you cannot fix yourself please contact the Miele Service Department at the phone number on the back of this booklet.

Please quote the model type of your appliance.

This can be found on the data plate on the bottom of the vacuum.

Optional accessories

Some models come equipped with one or more of the following accessories.

Turbobrush

Observe the cleaning instructions of the floor manufacturer.

The Turbobrush is recommended for cleaning short to medium pile carpeting. It is mechanically driven by the suction power of the vacuum. In addition to dust particles it also removes stubbornly adhered threads, hairs and carpet fluff.

Hand Turbobrush

The Hand Turbobrush is intended for vacuuming upholstery, mattresses, car seats, carpeted stairs and other areas inaccessible with the standard Turbobrush.

• Extension

Suction socket cap with active charcoal

To minimize the escape of dust and odor when the hose is removed for transport or storage.

The cap can be fastened to the hose during vacuuming.

Active Air Clean filter

A special active charcoal filter which absorbs odors from the dust collected in the dustbag, helping to prevent odors. The "ACTIVE air clean filter" can be used in place of the existing exhaust filter.

Disposal of the packing materials

The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. These items pose a danger of suffocation.

Disposing of the dustbag and filters
