Which dustbags and filters are the right ones? The Miele filter system consists of three filters which must be replaced from time to time to ensure efficient suction. ­ Dustbag ­ Exhaust filter ­ Dust compartment filter (motor protection) Order original Miele dustbags with the letters F/J/M. A "SUPER air clean" exhaust filter and a dust compartment filter are supplied with every box of Miele dustbags. If you wish to purchase exhaust filters or dust compartment filters separately, please quote the model number on the data plate located underneath the appliance. You can replace the exhaust filter supplied with the vacuum cleaner with one of the other types of filters (see "Optional accessories"). Use only Miele dustbags with the Miele quality signet and original Miele filter. This ensures optimum performance of the suction power and also ensures that the bag is used to capacity. The use of non-Miele dustbags could cause damage to the vacuum cleaner. 22 Maintenance and care When to change the dustbag Change the dustbag when the colored marker in the dustbag change indicator fills the display. The dust bags are disposable and intended to be used only once. [. . . ] This can occur if, for instance, large articles block the suction tube or when the filter bag is full or contains particles of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or dust compartment filter can also be the cause of overheating. Turn off the vacuum cleaner using the On/Off switch. Unwind the full length of the power cord. [. . . ]
