IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,  
including the following:  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE  
USING THIS APPLIANCE  
WARNING-  
To reduce the risk of electric shock,  
~
To reduce the risk of fire, electric  
shock or injury:  
this appliance has a polarized plug  
(one blade is wider than the other). This  
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one  
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the  
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does  
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to  
install the proper outlet. Do not alter the  
plug in any way.  
Before using  
Check the voltage rating of the  
~
vacuum cleaner before connecting the  
power cord to an electrical outlet. The  
power source should correspond with  
the voltage rating plate of the vacuum  
cleaner. Use only household AC  
outlets. Never use DC power sources. If  
you are not sure of your home’s voltage  
supply, consult a qualified electrician.  
Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a  
higher voltage may result in damage or  
injury.  
The electrical outlet must be fitted  
with a 15 A fuse.

^ Place the vacuum in an upright  
position.  
Always follow the flooring  
manufacturer's cleaning and care  
instructions.  
^ Press the release button on the  
telescopic wand and pull the vacuum  
hose handle upwards.  
The Powerbrush is particularly suitable  
for cleaning and restoring crushed  
carpet pile of wall to wall carpeting and  
floor coverings subject to hard wear,  
especially in high traffic areas.  
^ To increase the stability of the  
vacuum cleaner, slip the elbow over  
the vacuum hose so it engages.  
For regular vacuuming, you will  
need to snap the handle back into  
the telescopic wand and place the  
wand back into the bracket (see the  
upper illustration).  
,Do not use the Powerbrush to  
vacuum high quality, hand knotted  
rugs, for example Berber or Persian  
rugs, as well as extremely long piled  
area rugs and carpets, e.g. shag.  
There is a danger of the threads  
being pulled out. Turn the  
Powerbrush off to vacuum these  
types of floor coverings and use  
only low suction power.

en  
Maintenance and care  
,Do not use the Powerbrush on  
floors with a variable or uneven  
surface. The brush could come in  
contact with the floor and cause  
damage.  
,Turn off and unplug the vacuum  
cleaner before performing any  
maintenance work.  
The Miele filter system consists of the  
following three components.  
Turning the Powerbrush On/Off  
(see fig. 24)  
– FilterBag  
The beater bar in the Powerbrush is  
driven by a separate motor, which can  
be switched on and off.  
– Exhaust filter  
– Dust compartment filter  
Each of these components must be  
changed periodically to maintain the  
vacuum cleaner’s efficiency.  
^ Press the "Carpet/Floor" button on the  
handle.  
The Powerbrush turns on. The indicator  
on the control panel lights yellow.  
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.  
You can also use the button to switch  
off the Powerbrush while vacuuming,  
for example when moving from carpet  
to hard floors.  
The Powerbrush automatically shuts  
off anytime the body of the vacuum  
cleaner is placed into the full upright  
position.  
,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  
13  
en  
Which FilterBags and filters are the  
right ones?  
Check the airflow indicator  
^ Place the body of the vacuum  
cleaner into the full upright position.  
This vacuum cleaner uses Original  
Miele FilterBags Type U and Original  
Miele filters, the "Original Miele" Logo  
will appear on the packaging or directly  
on the FilterBag.  
^ 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.  
An "AirClean" exhaust filter and a dust  
compartment filter are supplied with  
every box of Miele filter bags.  
How the airflow indicator works  
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.  
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.  
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. 25)  
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.  
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.

cleaner will use one of the following ex-  
haust filters (see fig. 2):  
^ Do not unfold the FilterBag when you a AirClean Filter  
first remove it from the box. Insert the  
new FilterBag as far as it will go into

^ Close the dust compartment lid until  
it clicks into place, taking care not to  
catch the FilterBag in the lid. The

Frequently asked questions  
Cleaning  
What if the vacuum cleaner  
automatically shuts off?  
,Turn the vacuum cleaner off and  
unplug it from the outlet before  
performing any maintenance work.

Vacuum cleaner and accessories  
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.  
The vacuum cleaner and all plastic  
accessories can be cleaned using a  
damp cloth and a cleaner suitable for  
plastics.  
,Do not use abrasive, oil-based,  
glass or all purpose cleaners!  
If this happens, turn off the vacuum  
cleaner and the Powerbrush and  
unplug the power plug from the  
electrical outlet.  
Dust compartment  
If the dust compartment needs to be  
cleaned, use another vacuum cleaner,  
a dry cloth or dusting brush.  
Once the cause has been addressed,  
allow the vacuum cleaner to cool for  
approx. 20 - 30 minutes before  
resuming vacuuming.  
,Do not submerge the vacuum  
cleaner in water. If moisture gets  
into the appliance, there is the risk  
of electric shock.  
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.
