Purchasing new dustbags and filters
Original Miele dustbags and filters can
be ordered from your Miele retailer,
from Miele or online at:
Ordering the correct dustbags and
filters
Only use original Miele G/N dustbags
with a blue collar. Original Miele
dustbags are identified by the "Original
Miele" logo on the packaging or directly
on the dustbag.
An Air Clean filter and a dust
compartment filter are supplied with
every packet of Miele dustbags.
These can also be purchased
separately.
When to change the dustbag (dia. 30)
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 as
suction would be reduced.
Checking the dustbag change
indicator
^
Attach the standard floorhead to the
suction tube.
^
Switch on the vacuum cleaner using
the On/Off foot control s, 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 household dust
made up 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
the suction power will be greatly
reduced by blocked pores in the
dustbag.
If, on the other hand, a large amount of
hair and carpet fluff which typically
contains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the
indicator may fail to react even though
the bag is full. You should still change
it. Both these extremes can occur.
