Purchasing dustbags and filters
Original Miele dustbags and filters are
available from the Miele webshop, the
Miele Spare Parts Department and your
Miele dealer.
Original Miele dustbags and filters are
identified by the “ORIGINAL Miele” logo
on the packaging.
Every packet of original Miele dustbags
contains 4 dustbags, one AirClean ex-
haust filter and one motor protection fil-
ter. Original Miele multipacks contain 16
dustbags, 4 AirClean exhaust filters and
4 motor protection filters (available de-
pending on country).
Original Miele exhaust filters can also
be purchased separately from the Miele
Customer Service Department or your
Miele dealer. Please quote the model
number of your vacuum cleaner when
ordering to make sure you get the cor-
rect filter. You can also order these fil-
ters via the Miele webshop.
Dustbag timestrip® filter change in-
dicator (Fig. 23)
Change the dustbag when the colour
marker in the dustbag timestrip® filter
change indicator turns red, or sooner if
it is no longer effective (see possible
reasons for this below).
Blocked pores reduce the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner.
Dispose of the dustbag when it is full.
Do not attempt to re-use the dustbag.
To check the airflow indicator
Attach the standard adjustable floor-
head to the vacuum cleaner.
Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.
How the airflow indicator works
The airflow 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. The
dustbag must be replaced if this is the
case.
If, on the other hand, a large amount of
hair and carpet fluff which typically con-
tains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the in-
dicator may fail to react even though
the bag is full. You should still change it.
Both these extremes can occur.
Replacing the dustbag (Fig. 24)
Press both release buttons at the side
of the hose connector, and lift the
connector from the suction opening
(Fig. 01).
