Opening the air inlet valve reduces the power to the tool being used. 20 Transport and storage Park-System (Unable to use with the Powerbrush SEB 236) A Park-System has been designed to conveniently park the telescopic wand at the vacuum cleaner during pauses. ^ A special parking attachment is fitted to all floor brushes. Insert the lower clip on the floor brush into the slot on the end of the vacuum cleaner from above. Turning on and off with the Park-System Some models are equipped with an On/Off switch in the Park-System. Parking the floor brush while vacuuming automatically turns the vacuum off. Lifting the floor brush out of the Park-System turns the vacuum back on. If your vacuum cleaner is equipped with +/- suction power selector controls you can activate or deactivate the Park-System's On-Off feature. ^ In both cases turn the vacuum off with the foot switch On/Off s. ^ Hold the +/­ buttons simultaneously and turn the vacuum on using the On/Off button. 21 Transport and storage Transport and storage ^ For easier transportation and storage stand the vacuum cleaner vertically. ^ Insert both clips of the floor brush into the two point holder on either side of the vacuum (this function cannot be used with the Elelectrobrush SEB 236). This makes the vacuum easier to carry or store. Push the parts of the telescopic wand into each other for greater stability. 22 Maintenance and care , Turn off and unplug the vacuum before performing any maintenance work. If in use turn the Cordless Rechargeable Powerbrush ACCU NOVA off. The Miele filter system consists of the following three components. ­ Dustbag ­ Exhaust filter ­ Dust compartment filter Each of these filters must be changed periodically to maintain the vacuum cleaner's efficiency. Purchasing new dustbags and filters Replacement dustbags and filters can be purchased from your local Miele vacuum dealer or Miele. Which dustbags and filters are the right ones? Purchase original Miele dustbags with the letter G/N. 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 "Exchanging exhaust filters"). , 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.
