When should the dustbag and
filters be changed?
The Dustbag
The dustbag should be changed when
the red marker fills the suction level in-
dicator window or when the bag is full.
(Make sure the rug and floor tool is at-
tached when testing the vacuum’s suc-
tion)
Miele dustbags are disposable and
made to be used only once. Do not
attempt to reuse them.
The dust compartment filter:
The dust compartment filter should be
changed whenever a new box of genu-
ine Miele dustbags is opened.
A dust compartment filter is included
with every pack of Miele dustbags.
The exhaust filter
(see page 20 to determine which filter
is included with your vacuum):
SUPER air clean filter
Each time you open a new pack of gen-
uine Miele dustbags change the filter. A
"SUPER air clean filter" is included with
every box of Miele dustbags.
ACTIVE air clean filter
About once a year or as soon as the fil-
ter no longer absorbs odors. This filter
is sold separately.
HEPA filter
Every 18 months or sooner if the airflow
is reduced to an inefficient level. This
filter is sold separately.
Where to purchase dustbags
and filters
Genuine Miele filters and Type K/K
