    Replacing the dustbag
    ^Open the dust compartment lid.
    ^ Grasp the collar by the two finger
    holes and pull it out from the dustbag
    holder.
    The dustbag has a flap which closes
    automatically when the dustbag is
    removed to prevent any dust from
    escaping.
    ^ Dispose the dustbag with the normal
    household waste.
    ^ Insert a new dustbag and push the
    card collar securely into the dustbag
    holder as far as it will go. If it is not
    inserted properly, the dust
    compartment lid will not close.
    ^ Close the dust compartment lid firmly
    until it clicks into place.

    Replacing the exhaust filter
    Depending on the model, the vacuum
    cleaner will be equipped with one of the
    following exhaust filters:
    aSUPER air clean filter
    b ACTIVE air clean filter
    c ACTIVE HEPA filter
    "SUPER air clean" filter
    A SUPER air clean filter is supplied
    with every box of Miele dustbags. It
    should be replaced each time a new
    box of bags is started.
    "ACTIVE air clean" or the "ACTIVE
    HEPA" filter
    An ACTIVE air clean or ACTIVE
    HEPA filter should be changed
    approximately once a year.  Change the
    filter sooner if it is obviously soiled or no
    longer effective.
    It is helpful to make a note of the date
    directly on the filter as a reminder for
    when to next change it. See Optional
    Accessories for filter descriptions.

    Exhaust filter change indicator
    Some models are equipped with an
    exhaust filter change indicator (Reset
    button7) which is designed to alert
    when to change the ACTIVE air clean
    or  ACTIVE HEPA filter.
    The indicator lights up after about 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. However,
    the suction power will be reduced as
    will the effectiveness of the filter if it is
    not replaced.
    Note: If a SUPER air clean filter (a)is
    being used, the filter change indicator
    can be disregarded but should be
    reset. The indicator goes out when the
    Reset button is pressed.

    ,Turn off the vacuum and unplug
    it from the outlet before performing
    any maintenance work.
    Vacuum cleaner and accessories
    External surfaces of the vacuum
    cleaner and accessories can be
    cleaned with a slightly damp cloth or
    with a cleaner specifically for plastics.
    ,Do not use abrasive, glass or all-
    purpose cleaners! They will damage
    the surface.
    Dust compartment
    The dust compartment can, if
    necessary, be cleaned using another
    vacuum, a drycloth or brush.
    Monitor the dustbag change indicator
    and inspect all filters regularly. Clean or
    replace them when necessary
    according to the Operating Instructions.
    ,Do not submerge the vacuum
    cleaner in water! If moisture gets into
    the appliance, there is the risk of an
    electric shock.

    Overheating
    Some models have a warning light
    ,which comes on to indicate
    overheating.
    A temperature limiter automatically
    turns the vacuum cleaner off if it gets
    too hot. This can occur if large articles
    block the suction wand or if the
    dustbag is full or contains particles of
    fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or
    dust compartment filter can also be the
    cause of overheating.
    ^ Turn off the vacuum cleaner using the
    On/Off switch.
    ^ After removing the cause of
    overheating, wait 20 - 30 minutes so
    the vacuum cleaner can cool. After
    the cool down period, vacuuming
    can be resumed.
