When To Change The Dustbag; How To Replace The Dustbag - Miele Classic C1 SB 3 Série Mode D'emploi

en
Every packet of original Miele dustbags
contains four dustbags, one AirClean
exhaust filter and one motor protection
filter. Original Miele multipacks contain
16 dustbags, four AirClean exhaust fil-
ters and four motor protection filters
(only available in selected countries).
Original Miele exhaust filters can also
be purchased separately from the Miele
Spare Parts Dept. or your Miele dealer.
Please quote the model number of your
vacuum cleaner when ordering to make
sure you get the correct filter. You can
also order all accessories via the Miele
webshop.
When to change the dustbag (dia. 24)
Change the dustbag when the colour
marker in the dustbag change indicator
turns red, or sooner if it is no longer ef-
fective (see possible reasons for this
below).
Miele dustbags are disposable and
designed for single use only. Dispose
of the dustbag when full. Do not at-
tempt to reuse. Blocked pores in
used dustbags will reduce the suc-
tion power of the vacuum cleaner.
To check the dustbag change indic-
ator
 Attach the standard adjustable floor-
head to the vacuum cleaner.

 Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select 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. The
dustbag must be replaced if this is the
case.
If, on the other hand, a large amount of
hair and carpet fluff which typically con-
tains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the in-
dicator may fail to react even though
the bag is full. You should still change it.
Both these extremes can occur.
How to replace the dustbag (dia. 25)
 Press both release buttons at the side
of the hose connector, and lift the
hose from the socket (dia. 01).
 Pull the release catch upwards and
open the dust compartment lid as far
as it will go (dia. 08).
The dustbag has a flap which closes
automatically when the dust compart-
ment lid is raised to prevent any dust
escaping.
 Pull the dustbag out by the grip on
the collar.
