Caring for our environment

Disposal of packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum cleaner from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of the dustbag and filters

These are made from environmentally friendly materials. The filters can be disposed of with the normal household waste. The dustbag can also be disposed of in this way if it has been used exclusively for general household dust.

Disposing of your old appliance

Before disposing of your old appliance remove the dustbag and all the filters and dispose of them with your normal household waste.

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment.

They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance.

Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recycling centre, or contact your dealer for advice.

Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Correct use


15

Correct use

Adjusting the suction power

The suction power can be regulated to suit the type of flooring. The higher the setting the more powerful the suction.

Reducing the suction power reduces the amount of effort required to manoeuvre the floorhead.

Some models also have symbols on the controls. The symbols indicate the type of use the settings are suitable for:

# - curtains, lightweight fabrics

$ - upholstery, cushions

% - thick pile carpets, rugs and runners

* - for daily energy-saving vacuuming

(this setting is also very quiet)

( - loop-pile carpets

) - heavily soiled hard flooring and for intensive cleaning of carpets

When using the AirTeQ floorhead, if the suction seems too high, reduce the suction until the floorhead is easier to manoeuvre.

Rotary selector

^ Turn the suction power selector manually to the suction power setting you require.


16

Opening the air inlet valve on the handle

It is easy to reduce the suction power for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or other objects being sucked into the vacuum cleaner.

^ Open the air inlet valve far enough to reduce the suction power.

The floorhead will be easier to manoeuvre. Close the valve when you are ready to use full power again.

Vacuuming

^ When vacuuming, pull the cleaner behind you on its wheels. You can stand it upright for vacuuming stairs and curtains etc.

Warning: When vacuuming especially fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster, flour, talcum powder etc., electrostatic charges build up naturally. Under certain conditions these charges will be released. To avoid the unpleasant effects of these discharges, a metal inlay has been incorporated into the underside of the handle. Please make sure that you keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during vacuuming.


Correct use

17


Parking system for pauses in vacuuming

The parking system allows you to conveniently park the vacuum cleaner during pauses.

^ Slot the floorhead into the parking attachment at the back of the vacuum cleaner.

If the vacuum cleaner is on a sloping surface, e.g. a ramp, retract the suction tube fully.

Parking system for storage

Warning: Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical supply when you have finished using it. Switch off at the wall socket and unplug it.

There is a parking attachment on each side of the vacuum cleaner.

^ Stand the vacuum cleaner upright when it is not being used and when it is being stored.

Retract the telescopic tube fully.

^ Then slot the floorhead downwards into one of the parking attachments on the side of the vacuum cleaner.

This makes the cleaner easier to carry or store.


18


If your vacuum cleaner has an XXL handle, you can detach this so that the vacuum cleaner requires less storage space.

^ Detach the XXL handle from the retracted suction tube.

^ Wind the suction hose around the suction tube and then slot the XXL handle into the second parking attachment.


19


Warning: Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical supply before any maintenance work. Switch off at the wall socket and unplug it.

Purchasing new dustbags and filters

Original Miele dustbags and filters can be ordered from your Miele Dealer, from Miele or online at:

The Miele filter system consists of three filters which must be replaced from time to time to ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs efficiently.

– Dustbag

– Exhaust filter

– Dust compartment filter (for motor protection)

Only use original Miele F/J/M dustbags with a red collar. Using any other dustbags will damage the vacuum cleaner. Original Miele dustbags are identified by the "Original Miele" logo on the packaging or directly on the dustbag.

Only use genuine dustbags, filters, accessories and optional accessories with the "Original Miele" logo on them. Only this will ensure that the suction power of the vacuum cleaner is maintained, giving the best possible cleaning results.

Warning: The use of dustbags made from paper or paper-based materials, or dustbags with a cardboard collar, or dustbags that do not carry the

"Original Miele" logo, can seriously damage the vacuum cleaner and invalidate the warranty.

An Air Clean filter and a dust compartment filter are supplied with every packet of Miele dustbags.

These can also be purchased separately.

You can replace the exhaust filter fitted in the vacuum cleaner with one of the other Miele exhaust filters if you wish

(see "Optional accessories").


20


When to change the dustbag

Change the dustbag when the colour marker in the dustbag change indicator fills the display, or sooner if it is no longer effective (see possible reasons for this below).

Miele dustbags are disposable and designed to be used only once.

Dispose of the dustbag when it is full. Do not attempt to reuse them as suction would be reduced.

Checking the dustbag change indicator

^ Attach the standard floorhead to the suction tube. Do not use any of the other floorheads or attachments as they will cause the dustbag change indicator to give a false reading.

^ Switch the vacuum cleaner on and select the highest power setting.

^ Lift the floorhead off the floor a little. If the marker completely fills the dustbag change indicator, you should replace the dustbag with a new one.

How the dustbag change indicator works

The dustbag change indicator is set for normal household dust. This generally contains a mixture of dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, 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. If this happens you must still change the dustbag because suction power will be greatly reduced by blocked pores in the dustbag.

If, on the other hand, you have vacuumed up a large amount of hair and carpet fluff which typically contains a lot of air, the indicator may fail to react even though the bag is full. You should still change it! Both these extremes can occur.


21


Replacing the dustbag

^ Press the release button for the dust compartment lid and raise the lid as far as it will go.

The dustbag has a closing flap which closes automatically when the dust compartment lid is raised to prevent any dust escaping.

^ Pull the dustbag out by the grip next to the self-closing flap on the collar.

^ Fit the new dustbag into the red

holder as far as it will go. Leave it folded up when you take it out of the box.

^ It should be unfolded in the dust compartment.

^ Close the dust compartment lid securely, making sure it clicks into position. Take care not to trap the dustbag when doing so.

Warning: The lid will not close without a dustbag in place. Do not use force!


22

When to change the exhaust filter

Depending on model, your vacuum cleaner will be fitted as standard with one of the following exhaust filters:

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)

These types of filter need to be changed approx. once a year. Make a note of the date on the filter.

Replacing the Air Clean filter

Do not use more than one exhaust filter at a time.

^ Open the dust compartment lid.

^ Open the filter grille and remove the used Air Clean filter by one of the clean, unsoiled sections (see arrows).

^ 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".

^ Close the filter grille.

^ Close the dust compartment lid firmly. It should click into place.



23


Replacing an Active Air Clean filter or an Active HEPA filter



^ Raise the filter and remove it.

^ Replace it with a new Active Air

Clean filter or a new Active HEPA filter and press it down into place.

If you wish to use an Air Clean filter, see "Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another".

^ Close the dust compartment lid firmly. It should click into place.


24

Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another

Depending on model, your vacuum cleaner will be fitted as standard with one of the following exhaust filters:

a Air Clean

b Active Air Clean SF-AAC 50 (black)

c Active HEPA SF-AH 50 (blue)

Please note

1. If you wish to replace the Air Clean filter a with an Active Air Clean filter b or an Active HEPA filter c, it is essential that you remove the filter grille before fitting the new type of filter.

2. If you wish to replace the Active Air

Clean filter b or the Active HEPA filter c with an Air Clean filter a, then it is essential that you also fit the filter grille*.

* Filter grille – see "Optional accessories".




25


When to change the dust compartment filter (for motor protection)

Warning: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, glass cleaning agents, all-purpose cleaners or oil-based conditioning agents.

Dust compartment

The dust compartment can, if necessary, be cleaned using a dry duster, brush or, if available, a second vacuum cleaner to vacuum the dust out.

Warning: Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. If moisture gets into the appliance, there is a risk of electric shock.


Cleaning and care

29

Problem solving guide / After sales service

The vacuum cleaner switches off automatically

A temperature limiter switches the vacuum cleaner off automatically if it gets too hot.

This can occur if, for instance, large articles block the suction tube or when the filter bag is full or contains particles of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or dust compartment filter can also be the cause of overheating. Switch the vacuum cleaner off immediately using the On/Off foot control s. Disconnect from the electricity supply. Switch it off at the wall socket and unplug it.

After removing the cause, wait for approx. 20 -30 minutes to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down. It can then be switched on again.

After sales service

In the event of a fault that you cannot easily remedy, please contact

– your Miele Dealer or

– Miele (see back cover for contact details).
