When to change the dustbag

Change the dustbag when the colored

marker in the airflow indicator fills the

display.

Miele dustbags are disposable and

made to be used only once. Do not

attempt to reuse.

Checking the airflow indicator

^ Attach the standard floor brush

(depending on model) to the vacuum

cleaner. Perform this test with the

standard floor brush only, other

attachments can affect the function of

the airflow indicator.

^ Turn the vacuum cleaner on and

select the highest power setting.

^ Lift the floor brush slightly off the

floor. If the marker completely fills the

indicator window, the dustbag needs

to be changed.

Maintenance and care

How the airflow indicator works

The airflow indicator is designed to

show when the bag is full of common

household dust and measures the

amount of air flow through the dustbag.

Normal household dust is a mixture of

dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, sand,

etc.

However, if fine dust, such as drill dust,

sand, plaster or flour is vacuumed, the

pores of the dustbag may become

blocked. The marker will indicate that

the bag is "full" even when it is not. The

dustbag should be changed as the

suction power is greatly reduced.

If the bag is bulging with pet fur, hair,

carpet fluff, etc. the indicator may not

flow of the dustbag may still be high

enough not to activate the marker to

show maximum. The dustbag should

still be changed.
