When to change the exhaust filter?
Depending on the model, your vacuum
cleaner will use one of the following
standard exhaust filters (see fig. 25):
a Air Clean
Change the exhaust filter each time you
open a new box of Miele filter bags.
A new Air Clean exhaust filter is included
in every box of Miele filter bags.
b Active Air Clean SF-AAC 50 (black)
c Active HEPA SF-AH 50 (blue)
Always replace the Active Air Clean b
or Active HEPA c filter if the indicator
and the reset button light (after
approximately 50 hours of operation,
which is equivalent to one year of
average use), see fig. 26. Once the
indicator light comes on, you can still
continue to use the vacuum cleaner.
However, the filter performance and
suction power will be reduced.
Instead of the Active Air Clean b or
Active HEPA c exhaust filter installed as
standard, an Air Clean a exhaust filter
can also be used (see section
"Maintenance and care - Exchanging
exhaust filters").
How to replace the Air Clean exhaust
filter? (see fig. 27 + 28)
Make sure that only one exhaust
filter is inserted in the frame.
