Replacing the motor protection filter
(Fig. 25)
Replace the motor protection filter
whenever you start a new packet of
dustbags.
Every packet of original Miele dustbags
contains a motor protection filter. Mul-
tipacks contain 4 motor protection fil-
ters.
Open the dust compartment lid.
Pull the dustbag out by the grip on the
collar.
Unclip the filter frame and replace the
motor protection filter.
Close the filter frame.
Fit the dustbag into the holder as far
as it will go.
Close the dust compartment lid.
Replacing the AirClean exhaust filter
(Fig. 26)
Do not use more than one exhaust
filter at a time.
Replace this exhaust filter every time
you start a new packet of Miele dust-
bags. Every packet of original Miele
dustbags contains one AirClean exhaust
filter. Multipacks contain 4 AirClean ex-
haust filters.
Open the dust compartment lid.
Release the filter grille and raise it
upwards. Grasp the used AirClean
exhaust filter by the clean, unsoiled
section (see arrow) and take it out.
Replace it with a new AirClean ex-
haust filter.
If you wish to fit an Active AirClean 30
or HEPA AirClean 30 exhaust filter,
see "Replacing one type of exhaust fil-
ter with another".
Close the filter grille.
Close the dust compartment lid.
Replacing the Active AirClean 30/
HEPA AirClean 30 exhaust filter
(Fig. 27)
Do not use more than one exhaust
filter at a time.
Replace these exhaust filters if the
timestrip® filter change indicator is
completely red (Fig. 12).
The display will be completely filled with
red after approximately 50 operating
hours; this corresponds to approxim-
ately one year of average use. You can
continue vacuuming when the light
comes on. However, the suction power
will be reduced as will the effectiveness
of the filter if it is not replaced in good
time.
Open the dust compartment lid.
Lift the exhaust filter and remove it.
Insert a new exhaust filter, making it
sure it goes in properly, then push it
down into position.
Press the timestrip® filter change in-
dicator on the exhaust filter (Fig. 10).
After approx. 10–15 seconds, a thin red
line will appear in the left-hand side of
the display (Fig. 11).
If you wish to fit an AirClean exhaust
filter, see "Replacing one type of ex-
haust filter with another".
Close the dust compartment lid.
