When to change the exhaust
filter
Depending on the model, your vacuum
cleaner will be fitted as standard with
one of the following exhaust filters:
a Air Clean
Replace this filter every time you start a
new packet of Miele dustbags.
An Air Clean exhaust filter and a dust
compartment filter are supplied with
every packet of Miele dustbags.
b Active Air Clean SF-AAC 50 (black)
c Active HEPA SF-AH 50 (blue)
Replace these filters when the exhaust
filter indicator (reset [) lights up. This
indicator shows you when to change
your Active Air Clean or HEPA filter.
The indicator lights up after
approximately 50 hours of operation,
which is equivalent to about a year of
average use. You can continue
vacuuming when the light comes on.
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 is
irrelevant if an Air Clean filter (a)is
being used, as long as it is replaced
every time a new packet of Miele
dustbags is started. The indicator light
will go out when the reset button [ is
pressed.
