Purchasing new dustbags and filters Replacement dustbags and filters can be purchased from your local Miele Dealer. 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) Which dustbags and filters are the right ones? Order original Miele dustbags with the letters F/J/M. 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 and may void the warranty. 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"). 22 Maintenance and care When to change the dustbag Change the dustbag when the colored marker in the airflow indicator fills the display. The dust bags are disposable and intended to be used only once.
