Operation

Regulating the suction

The suction power can be regulated to

suit the type of flooring. The higher the

wattage the more powerful the suction.

Reducing the suction power reduces

the amount of effort required to

manoeuvre the floorhead. Setting the

suction power selector according to the

degree of soiling and type of flooring

being cleaned will save energy. Smooth

or lightly soiled flooring is easily

cleaned using the Economy setting.

Fitted carpets and thick pile carpets

require the most powerful setting to

remove ingrained soiling.

Some models also have symbols on the

controls. The symbols indicate the type

of use the settings are suitable for.

a - curtains, lightweight fabrics

b - upholstery, cushions

c - thick pile carpets, rugs and

runners

d - for energy-saving daily use

e - lightly soiled textured carpets

f - textured hard flooring, and for

intensive cleaning of carpets

Maintenance and care

Purchasing new dustbags and

filters

,^{Always disconnect the vacuum}

cleaner from the electrical supply for

maintenance work and for cleaning.

Switch off at the wall socket and

remove the plug.

Replacement dustbags and filters can

be obtained from your local Miele

Dealer or directly from the Miele Spare

Parts Department.

The Miele filter system consists of three

filters.

When ordering dustbags for your

vacuum cleaner ask for bags with the

code

– Dustbag

– F/J/M for models S 560 - S 578 and

– Exhaust filter

S 711 - S 749

– Dust compartment filter (for motor

protection)

– G/N for models S 812 - S 849.

Always quote the model number given

on the data plate located underneath

the appliance.

A "SUPER air clean" filter and a dust

compartment filter are supplied with

every packet of Miele dustbags.

These will need to be replaced from

time to time to ensure that your vacuum

cleaner performs efficiently.

To ensure that your vacuum cleaner

functions correctly, cleans

hygienically and gives you many

years of trouble-free operation

please only use genuine Miele

approved dustbags and filters. The

use of non-Miele approved dustbags

and accessories could invalidate

your warranty and cause damage to

your product.

If you wish to purchase exhaust filters

or dust compartment filters separately,

please quote the model number of your

appliance when ordering to ensure you

get the correct items.

You can replace the exhaust filter

supplied with the vacuum cleaner with

one of the other Miele exhaust filters if

you wish (see "Replacing one type of

filter with another").

Maintenance and care

When to change the dustbag

Change the dustbag when the colour

marker in the dustbag change indicator

fills the display.

Dustbags are designed for single

use only. Do not attempt to re-use

them as suction would be reduced.

Checking the dustbag change

indicator

^ Attach the standard floorhead to the

suction tube. Do not use any of the

other floorheads or attachments as

they will cause the dustbag change

indicator to give a false reading.

How the dustbag change indicator

works

The indicator is designed to measure

the air permeability of a dustbag

been used to suck up fine dust, such

as plaster, brick dust, cement or flour,

the pores of the dustbag become

blocked very quickly. This affects the

air permeability of the bag and the

marker will indicate that the bag is "full"

even when it is not. If this happens you

must still change the dustbag because

suction power will be greatly reduced

by blocked pores in the dustbag.

If, on the other hand, you have

vacuumed up a lot of hair and carpet

fluff which typically contains a lot of air

the indicator may fail to react even

though the bag is full. You should still

change it!

Both these extremes can occur.

Maintenance and care

Replacing the dustbag

^ Press the release button for the dust

compartment lid and raise the lid as

far as it will go.

^ To remove the dustbag hold the bag

by the collar and pull it out of its

holder.

The dustbag has a closing flap which

closes automatically when the dustbag

is removed to prevent any dust

escaping.

It can then be disposed of with the

normal household waste as long as it

has only been used for vacuuming up

normal household dust.

Do not unfold the new bag when you

take it out of the packet. This way it will

not get trapped when you shut the dust

compartment lid again.

^ To insert a new dustbag, push the

collar securely into the frame as far

as it will go. Otherwise you will not be

able to shut the lid.

^ Close the dust compartment lid

firmly.

to about a year of average use. The

vacuum cleaner can still be used with

the exhaust filter indicator lit up.

However, the suction power will be

reduced as will the effectiveness of the

filter if it is not replaced in good time.

The filter change indicator light will

have no significance if a SUPER air

clean filter (a) has been fitted, but

should still be re-set. The indicator light

will go out when it is pressed.

Problem solving guide

The vacuum cleaner has switched

itself off automatically

A temperature limiter switches the

vacuum cleaner off automatically if it

gets too hot. Some models also have a

warning light , which comes on to

indicate that it has overheated.

Overheating can occur if, for instance,

large articles block the suction tube or

the dustbag is full or contains particles

of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or

dust compartment filter can also be the

cause of overheating. Switch off the

vacuum cleaner using the On-Off

switch.

After removing the cause, wait for a

period of approx. 20 - 30 minutes, to

allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down.

It can then be switched on again.

Optional accessories

ACTIVE air clean filter

The ACTIVE air clean filter is a special

active charcoal filter which absorbs

odours from the dust collected in the

dustbag. It helps, therefore, to prevent

a build-up of odours occuring. Do not

use aroma capsules in your cleaner if

you use this filter. The charcoal in the

filter will absorb their aroma rendering

them ineffective. The ACTIVE air clean

filter can be used instead of the existing

exhaust filter. There is no difference in

filtration level between the ACTIVE air

clean filter and the SUPER air clean

filter. See "Replacing one type of filter

with another".

ACTIVE HEPA filter

This is a particle filter conforming to EN

1822 HEPA Classification 12. It is able

to filter out very fine particles and

micro-organisms. The active charcoal

layer absorbs odours from the dust

collected in the dustbag. Vacuum

cleaners equipped with this exhaust

filter are particularly suitable for allergy

sufferers and those concerned with a

high level of hygiene. The "ACTIVE

HEPA filter" can be inserted in place of

the existing exhaust filter. See

"Replacing one type of filter with

another".

Do not use aroma capsules in your

cleaner if it is fitted with this filter.

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363

The fuse cover must be re-fitted when

changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover

is lost the plug must not be used until a

suitable replacement is obtained. The

of the plug, or the colour that is

embossed in words on the base of the

plug, (as applicable to the design of

plug fitted).

Replacement fuses should be ASTA

approved to BS1362 and have the
