The electrobrush will be lifted up at the front. An "Air Clean" exhaust filter and a dust compartment filter are supplied with every box of Miele filter bags. 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 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) 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. If the color marker completely fills the indicator window, the FilterBag needs to be changed. How the airflow indicator works 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. 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. 14
