							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
cleaner 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
cleaner’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 and may void the warranty.
Purchasing new dustbags and
filters
Replacement dustbags and filters can
be purchased from an authorized Miele
vacuum dealer or by visiting the Miele
store at http://store.miele.com.
Which dustbags and filters are
the right ones?
Purchase original Miele HyClean
dustbags with the letters G/Nand the
Miele quality signet.
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 airflow indicator fills the
display.
Miele dust bags are disposable and
made to be used only once. Do not
attempt to reuse.
Checking the airflow 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 airflow 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 airflow indicator works
The airflow 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.

24 
						

							How to change the dustbag
^Lift the release button for the dust
compartment, raise the lid until it
clicks into place.
The dustbag has a closing flap which
closes automatically when the dust
compartment lid is raised to prevent
any dust from escaping.
Grasp the collar and remove the
dustbag from the holder.
^ 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).

filter

If you wish to replace the SUPER air
clean filter with an ActiveAirClean
filter or Active HEPA filter see
Maintenance and care -
Exchanging exhaust filters.

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.
