How to change the dust
compartment filter (dia. 33)
^ Open the dust compartment lid.
^ Pull the dustbag out by the grip next
to the self-closing flap on the collar.
^ Lift up the blue filter frame until it
clicks and remove the old filter. Hold
by the clean, unsoiled section to
remove it.
^ Replace with a new dust
compartment filter.
^ Close the filter frame.
^ Fit the dustbag into the holder as far
as it will go.
^ Close the dust compartment lid
securely, making sure it clicks into
position. Take care not to trap the
dustbag when doing so.
When to change the exhaust filter
Depending on model, your vacuum
cleaner will be fitted as standard with
one of the following exhaust filters
(dia.34):
a Air Clean
Replace this filter every time you start a
new packet of Miele dustbags. An Air
Clean exhaust filter and a dust
compartment filter are supplied with
every packet of Miele dustbags.
b Active Air Clean SF-AAC 50 (black)
c Active HEPA SF-AH 50 (blue)
Change these types of filter approx.
once a year.
Make a note of the date on the filter.
Exhaust filter change indicator
(dia.35)
Certain models are fitted with an
exhaust filter change indicator to show
you when to change your Active Air
Clean b or Active HEPA c filter.
The indicator lights up after approx.
50 hours of operation, which is
equivalent to about a year of average
use. The vacuum cleaner can still be
used with the exhaust filter indicator lit
up. However, the suction power will be
reduced as will the effectiveness of the
filter if it is not replaced in good time.
The filter change indicator light is
irrelevant if an Air Clean filter a is fitted,
as long as it is replaced every time a
new packet of Miele dustbags is
started. The indicator light will go out
when the reset button is pressed.
How to replace the Air Clean filter
(dia. 36 + 37)
Do not use more than one exhaust
filter at a time.
^ Open the dust compartment lid.
^ Press the release catch on the filter
grille and open the grille until it clicks.
^ Hold the used Air Clean filter by one
of the clean, unsoiled sections.
^ Replace it with a new Air Clean filter.
If you wish to replace the Air Clean
filter with an Active Air Clean filter or
with an Active HEPA filter, see
"Replacing one type of exhaust filter
with another".
