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.

Purchasing new dustbags and filters

Original Miele dustbags and filters can
be ordered from Miele, your Miele
dealer or online at:
Ordering the correct dustbags and
filters
Only use original Miele G/N dustbags
with a blue collar and original Miele
filters. These are identified by the
"Original Miele" logo on the packaging
or directly on the dustbag.
An AirClean filter and a dust
compartment filter are supplied with
every packet of Miele dustbags.
These can also be purchased
separately from your Miele Dealer, from
Miele or from the online shop. Please
quote the model number of your
vacuum cleaner when ordering to make
sure you get the correct filter.

When to change the dustbag (dia. 27)
Change the dustbag when the colour
marker in the dustbag change indicator
turns red, or sooner if it is no longer
effective (see possible reasons for this
below).
Miele dustbags are disposable and
designed for single use only. Dispose
of the dustbag when full. Do not
attempt to reuse. Blocked pores in
used dustbags will reduce the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner.
To check the dustbag change
indicator
^ Attach the standard floorhead to the
suction tube.
^ Switch the vacuum cleaner on using
the On/Off foot control s and set the
suction power selector to the highest
power setting.
^ Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.
How the dustbag change indicator
works
The dustbag change indicator is set for
normal household dust. This generally
contains a mixture of dust, hair,
threads, carpet fluff, 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.
