For best results, move the Powerbrush slowly back and forth over the area you wish to clean. Maintenance and care Turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before performing any maintenance work. The Miele filter system consists of the following three components. FilterBag Exhaust filter Dust compartment filter Each of these components must be changed periodically to maintain the vacuum cleaner s efficiency. Only use Miele FilterBags, filters and accessories with the "Original Miele" logo. Only then can the suction power of the vacuum cleaner reach its optimum potential creating the best possible cleaning results. The use of FilterBags made of paper or a similar material, or FilterBags with a cardboard retaining plate can lead to serious damage to the vacuum cleaner and possibly voiding the warranty, just as with the use of filter bags without the "Original Miele" logo. Purchasing new FilterBags and filters Original Miele FilterBags and filters can be purchased from an authorized Miele vacuum dealer or by visiting the Miele store at http://store.miele.com. Which FilterBags and filters are the right ones? This vacuum cleaner uses Original Miele FilterBags Type U and an Original Miele filters, the "Original Miele" Logo will appear on the packaging or directly on the FilterBag. An "Air Clean" exhaust filter and a dust compartment filter are supplied with every box of Miele filter bags. If you would like to purchase additional Miele filters separately, contact your vacuum dealer or Miele, please quote the model number of your Miele vacuum cleaner to ensure correct parts are ordered. These parts are also available to order from the online Miele store. 13
en The exhaust filter supplied with the vacuum cleaner can be exchanged with another type of Original Miele filter (see "Exchanging exhaust filters"). When to change the FilterBag (see fig. 22) Change the FilterBag when the colored marker in the airflow indicator fills the display. Miele FilterBags are disposable and made to be used only once. Do not attempt to reuse. Check the airflow indicator Place the body of the vacuum cleaner into the full upright position. Use the On/Off button on the handle to switch the vacuum cleaner on, then select the highest suction setting. Tip the vacuum cleaner until you can read the color marker in the indicator window. The electrobrush will be lifted up at the front. If the color marker completely fills the indicator window, the FilterBag needs to be changed. How the airflow indicator works The airflow indicator is designed to show when the bag is full of common household dust. It also measures the amount of air flow through the FilterBag. Normal household dust is a mixture of dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, etc. However, if fine dust, such as drill dust, sand, plaster or flour is vacuumed, the pores of the FilterBag may become blocked. The marker will indicate that the bag is "full" even though it does not look "full". The FilterBag should still 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 register "full". This is because the air flow of the FilterBag may still be high enough not to activate the marker to show maximum. The FilterBag should still be changed. Changing the FilterBag (see fig. 23, 24 + 25) Place the body of the vacuum cleaner into the full upright position. Lift the release button for the dust compartment lid and open until it clicks into place. Pull the tab on the collar and swing the FilterBag up and away from the suction socket before taking it out of the frame. The FilterBag has a flap that automatically closes to prevent dust from escaping when the bag is removed. Do not unfold the FilterBag when you first remove it from the box. Insert the new FilterBag as far as it will go into the holder. Unfold the FilterBags in the dust compartment. 14
en Close the dust compartment lid until it clicks into place, taking care not to catch the FilterBag in the lid. The FilterBag is automatically aligned with the vacuum hole. An empty-operation-barrier blocks the dust compartment lid from closing if no FilterBag is inserted or if it is not inserted correctly. Do not force it closed. When to change the dust compartment filter (pre-motor filter) Whenever you start a new box of Miele FilterBags, you should change the dust compartment filter. A new filter is included in every box. Changing the dust compartment filter (see fig. 26) Open the dust compartment lid. Open the filter frame, use the clean corner to remove the filter. Insert a new filter. Close the filter frame. Close the dust compartment lid until it clicks into place. When to change the exhaust filter Depending on the model, your vacuum cleaner will use one of the following exhaust filters (see fig. 27): a Air Clean Whenever you start a new box of Miele FilterBags, you should change this exhaust filter. A new Air Clean exhaust filter is included in every box of Miele FilterBags. b Active Air Clean (black) c Active HEPA (blue) These filters should be changed approximately once a year. You can make a note of the date directly on the exhaust filter. Be sure to have a replacement filter on hand. Exhaust filter change indicator (see fig. 28) Certain models are equipped with an indicator (reset button), to show you when to change the Active Air Clean b or Active HEPA c filter. The indicator will turn red after approximately 50 hours of operation, which is equivalent to about one year of average use. 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. If an Air Clean filter is being used, the filter change indicator can be disregarded but should be reset when it does light. The indicator goes out when the reset button is pressed. Replacing the "Air Clean" filter (see fig. 29, 30 + 31) Do not use more than one filter at a time. Open the exhaust filter compartment lid. Remove the filter frame. 15
en Open the filter frame and use one of the two clean corners to remove the used Air Clean filter. Insert a new Air Clean filter. If you wish to replace the Air Clean filter with an Active Air Clean filter or Active HEPA filter see "Maintenance and care - Exchanging exhaust filters". Close the filter frame and insert it back into the compartment. Close the exhaust filter compartment lid. Replacing the "Active Air Clean" filter and the "Active HEPA"filter (see fig. 32 + 33) Do not use more than one filter at a time. Open the exhaust filter compartment lid. Remove the exhaust filter. Insert a new exhaust filter. Close the exhaust filter compartment lid. If you wish to use an Air Clean filter see "Exchanging exhaust filters". Resetting the exhaust filter change indicator (see fig. 28) If your vacuum cleaner has a reset button, it must be pressed each time the exhaust filter is changed. Turn the vacuum on. Press and hold the reset button until the "Exhaust filter change indicator" indicator goes out. The indicator is only reset if pressed while lit. If the indicator is pressed before it lights it will not be reset. Exchanging exhaust filters Depending on the model, your vacuum cleaner will use one of the following standard exhaust filters (see fig. 27): a Air Clean b Active Air Clean (black) c Active HEPA (blue) If you wish, you can use one of the alternative filters instead of the standard filter supplied with your appliance. Each filter offers different characteristics (see section "Optional accessories"). Important 1. If you replace exhaust filter a with exhaust filter b or c, you must be sure to remove the filter frame before inserting the new filter type. 2. If you replace exhaust filter b or c with exhaust filter a, be sure to place the new filter in a filter frame * (see fig. 30). Do not use more than one filter at a time. * Filter frame - see "Optional accessories" 16
en Some models are equipped with an exhaust filter reset button (see fig. 28). This button indicates when to change the Active Air Clean filter and the Active HEPA filter. If an Air Clean filter is used, the reset button can be disregarded. The Air Clean filter should be changed whenever a new box of Miele FilterBags is opened. The indicator goes out when the reset button is pressed. Removing hair and threads from the Powerbrush (see fig. 34) Turn off the vacuum and unplug it from the outlet. Release the body of the vacuum cleaner and lower it to the floor (see fig. 9). Turn the vacuum cleaner over. Use scissors to cut any threads or hair that have wound around the roller brush. Guide the scissors along the guide track on the beater bar. The trimmings will be drawn into the vacuum cleaner by the suction once the vacuum cleaner is turned on. Blockages (see fig. 35 + 36) If there are large particles or other blockages at the base of the suction hose, you can open it up to clear the passage. Click the vacuum cleaner into the full upright position. Press the release button on the telescopic wand and remove the handle from the suction hose Guide the swivel elbow at the end of the suction hose over the catch hooks, to increase the stability the vacuum cleaner (see fig. 18). Undo the suction hose in the direction of the arrow. Pull the suction hose connector off the swivel elbow. Remove all blockages Put the connector back on and click it shut. If you still have not been able to remove the obstruction(s), there is another method you can try. Open the service flap on the bottom rear of the vacuum cleaner. Use a coin to undo the two screws until they stop. Pry the service flap free. Remove all blockages. Put the service flap back on and screw into place. Cleaning and care Cleaning Turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug it from the outlet before performing any maintenance work. Vacuum cleaner and accessories The vacuum cleaner and all plastic accessories can be cleaned using a damp cloth and a cleaner suitable for plastics. 17
en Do not use abrasive, oil-based, glass or all purpose cleaners! Dust compartment If the dust compartment needs to be cleaned, use another vacuum cleaner, a dry cloth or dusting brush. Do not submerge the vacuum cleaner in water. If moisture gets into the appliance, there is the risk of electric shock. Frequently asked questions What if the vacuum cleaner automatically shuts off? ComfortLine Models: The "On" indicator lights red. PremiumLine Models: The " " Thermo indicator lights red. A temperature sensor will turn off the vacuum cleaner if it becomes too warm. This problem can occur if, for example, an object is blocking the suction tube or the FilterBags pores have become clogged with fine dust. The cause could also be a heavily soiled exhaust or dust compartment filter. If this happens, turn off the vacuum cleaner and the Powerbrush and unplug the power plug from the electrical outlet. Once the cause has been addressed, allow the vacuum cleaner to cool for approx. 20-30 minutes before resuming vacuuming. What if the Powerbrush automatically shuts off and the indicator displays a red light? The blockage protection feature has been activated. This can occur if enough threads wrap around the beater bar or if a large or long object has been vacuumed up. If this happens, turn off the Powerbrush, then switch off and unplug the vacuum cleaner. Once the blockage has been removed, the vacuum cleaner is ready for use. What if the Powerbrush automatically shuts off and the indicator displays a yellow light? The temperature limiter in the Powerbrush has been triggered because of overheating, for example due to a blockage in the vacuum hose/wand. If this happens, turn off the Powerbrush, then switch off and unplug the vacuum cleaner. Once the vacuum hose/wand and all filters have been inspected, plug in the vacuum cleaner and turn it on and vacuum for approx. 10 minutes (leave the Powerbrush on). This helps cool off the Powerbrush so that it can be switched on again. 18

Seuls des sacs à poussière, des filtres et des accessoires portant le logo "Original Miele" doivent être utilisés avec cet aspirateur. Ceux-ci permettent de maximiser la puissance d'aspiration de l'aspirateur et de produire des résultats de nettoyage optimaux. L'UTILISATION DE COMPOSANTES D'UNE AUTRE MARQUE POURRAIT INVALIDER LA GARANTIE. Tout comme l'utilisation de sacs à poussière n'arborant pas le logo "Original Miele", l'utilisation de sacs à poussière faits de papier ou de matériau similaire, ou de sacs à poussière munis d'une plaque de retenue en carton, peut endommager gravement l'aspirateur et risquer d'en annuler la garantie. Le logo "Original Miele" se trouve sur l'emballage ou directement sur le sac à poussière. Vous pouvez vous procurer des sacs à poussière et des filtres Miele d'origine auprès d'un détaillant autorisé d'aspirateurs Miele ou à notre magasin Miele en ligne, à www.miele.ca. 25
INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANTES SUR LA SÉCURITÉ Lorsque vous utilisez un appareil électrique, respectez toujours les consignes de sécurité élémentaires : LISEZ ATTENTIVEMENT TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS AVANT D'UTILISER L'APPAREIL Le fabricant ne peut être tenu responsable des dommages causés par le non-respect des présentes instructions sur la sécurité. AVERTISSEMENT- Pour diminuer le risque d'incendie, de choc électrique ou de blessure, suivez les instructions suivantes : Avant la première utilisation : Vérifiez la tension de l'aspirateur avant de brancher le cordon d'alimentation dans une prise électrique. La tension de votre source d'alimentation doit correspondre à la tension indiquée sur la plaque signalétique de l'aspirateur. Utilisez uniquement des prises de courant alternatif. N'utilisez jamais des prises de courant continu. Consultez un électricien qualifié si vous n'êtes pas sûr de connaître la tension de votre système électrique. Si vous branchez votre aspirateur à une source d'alimentation de tension supérieure, vous pourriez vous blesser ou endommager votre appareil. Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique, l'aspirateur est muni d'une fiche polarisée (l'une des broches est plus large que l'autre). Cette fiche peut être insérée dans une prise polarisée d'une seule manière. Si la fiche ne peut être entièrement insérée dans la prise, retournez-la. S'il est encore impossible de l'insérer, faites appel à un électricien qualifié qui peut installer une prise appropriée. Ne modifiez aucunement la fiche. La prise électrique doit être équipée d'un fusible de 15 ampères. Un appareil endommagé présente des risques. Vérifiez l'emballage, l'appareil et ses accessoires afin de détecter tout signe de dommages. N'utilisez pas un appareil endommagé. N'utilisez pas l'appareil avec un cordon ou une prise endommagé. Si l'appareil ne fonctionne pas correctement, s'il est tombé, endommagé, a été laissé à l'extérieur ou immergé dans l'eau, apportez-le à un centre de services. Utilisation N'utilisez pas cet appareil pour nettoyer des personnes ou des animaux. N'utilisez pas l'appareil à l'extérieur ou sur des surfaces humides. Ne nettoyez que des surfaces sèches. 26
INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANTES SUR LA SÉCURITÉ Utilisez l'appareil conformément aux instructions du présent manuel avec les accessoires recommandés par Miele. Le fabricant ne peut être tenu responsable des dommages causés par le non-respect des présentes instructions sur la sécurité. Cet appareil est destiné uniquement à un usage domestique. Cet aspirateur n'est pas un jouet. Il est nécessaire d'être vigilant lorsqu'il est utilisé à proximité d'enfants. Attention, l'attache du cordon peut devenir lâche au fil du temps. Ne laissez pas les enfants jouer avec cette petite pièce. Risque de suffocation. N'utilisez jamais l'aspirateur si le sac à poussière ou les filtres ne sont pas en place. Vous pourriez endommager l'appareil. Le couvercle du réservoir à poussière ne se ferme pas si un sac à poussière n'est pas en place. Ne forcez pas le couvercle pour qu'il ferme. Ne laissez pas l'aspirateur branché. Débranchez-le de la prise lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé ou avant de procéder à l'entretien. N'utilisez pas cet aspirateur pour ramasser ou conserver des matières dangereuses. N'aspirez pas de liquides ou de poussières humides. Cela pourrait nuire à la sécurité électrique de l'appareil. Si des moquettes ont été fraîchement lavées, attendez qu'elles soient complètement sèches avant de passer l'aspirateur. N'aspirez aucun élément brûlant ou fumant comme des cigarettes, des allumettes ou des cendres chaudes. L'aspirateur pourrait prendre feu. N'aspirez pas de poudre imprimante. Cette poudre, utilisée pour les imprimantes et les photocopieurs, peut être conductrice. N'aspirez pas de liquides inflammables ou combustibles comme de l'essence et n'utilisez pas l'appareil dans des zones où ces matières pourraient être présentes. N'aspirez pas d'éléments lourds, durs ou ayant des bords coupants. Ils pourraient boucher et endommager l'appareil. Ne tirez pas sur le cordon, ne vous servez pas du cordon comme une poignée, ne coincez pas le cordon dans une porte et ne le laissez pas en contact avec des extrémités ou des coins tranchants. Ne faites pas passer l'appareil sur le cordon. Veillez à ce que le cordon n'entre pas en contact avec des surfaces chaudes. Ne débranchez pas l'aspirateur en tirant sur le cordon. Tirez sur la fiche et non sur le cordon. Ne manipulez pas la fiche ou le cordon avec les mains mouillées. Veillez à maintenir vos cheveux, vos vêtements amples, vos doigts ou toute autre partie de votre corps ainsi que le cordon à distance des ouvertures et des parties mobiles de l'appareil. Les accessoires et les tubes ne doivent pas être utilisés à la hauteur de la tête afin d'éviter tout risque de blessure aux yeux et aux oreilles. 27
INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANTES SUR LA SÉCURITÉ Éteignez toutes les commandes avant de débrancher l'appareil. Soyez prudent au moment de nettoyer un escalier. Le tuyau, le tube et les accessoires ne doivent pas être utilisés à la hauteur de la tête afin d'éviter tout risque de blessure aux yeux et aux oreilles. Surveillez l'indicateur de circulation d'air et vérifiez régulièrement les filtres. Pour obtenir un rendement optimal, le sac à poussière et les filtres doivent être remplacés fréquemment. Un sac plein ou un filtre obstrué réduit la puissance d'aspiration de l'appareil. Un limiteur de température éteint automatiquement l'aspirateur si ce dernier surchauffe, voir la section "Questions fréquemment posées". Accessoires Débranchez l'appareil avant de changer les accessoires. Afin d'éviter tout risque de blessure lorsque vous utilisez votre aspirateur, ne touchez pas à la brosse rotative. Risque de blessures. N'utilisez pas le tuyau de l'aspirateur ou le tube télescopique sans qu'un accessoire y soit fixé. Le rebord du tube pourrait être endommagé et les angles vifs pourraient causer des blessures. Les sacs à poussière Miele sont jetables. Ne les réutilisez pas. Un sac trop plein diminuera l'efficacité de l'aspirateur. Utilisez seulement des sacs à poussière et des accessoires portant le sceau de qualité Miele et des filtres Miele d'origine. Ce sont les seuls qui sont garantis par le fabricant. Nettoyage, entretien et réparations Éteignez l'aspirateur après chaque utilisation et avant d'effectuer l'entretien. Retirez la fiche de la prise de courant. Ne plongez jamais l'aspirateur dans l'eau. Utilisez uniquement un chiffon sec ou légèrement humide pour nettoyer l'appareil une fois qu'il est débranché. Si l'humidité pénètre dans l'appareil, vous risquez de subir un choc électrique. Les réparations doivent être effectuées uniquement par un technicien autorisé, conformément aux normes de sécurité nationales et locales. Il peut s'avérer dangereux de confier les travaux de réparation à des personnes non qualifiées. Le fabricant ne peut en être tenu responsable des travaux effectués pas des personnes non qualifiées. Si le cordon d'alimentation est endommagé, il doit être remplacé par un technicien Miele qui utilisera une pièce de rechange d'origine de Miele. Mise au rebut d'un ancien appareil Avant de mettre au rebut votre ancien appareil, coupez le cordon d'alimentation et rendez la fiche inutilisable. Assurez-vous que votre appareil ne présente aucun danger pour les enfants jusqu'à ce qu'il soit mis au rebut. CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS 28
