WARNINGTo reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury: Before using Check the voltage rating of the vacuum cleaner before connecting the power cord to an electrical outlet. Your power source should correspond with the voltage rating plate located on the underside of the vacuum. [. . . ] 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. ^ 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). 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. ­ 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. The use of non-Miele dustbags could cause damage to the vacuum cleaner. 23 Maintenance and care When to change the dustbag Change the dustbag when the colored marker in the dustbag change indicator fills the display. Checking the dustbag change indicator ^ Attach the floor tool to the vacuum cleaner. Perform this test with the floor tool only, since other attachments can affect the function of the dustbag change indicator. If the marker completely fills the indicator window, the dust bag needs to be changed. How the dustbag change indicator works The dustbag change indicator is designed to show when the bag is full of common household dust and measures the amount of air flow through the dustbag. Normal household dust is a mixture of dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, sand, etc. However, if fine dust, such as drill dust, sand, plaster or flour is vacuumed, the pores of the dustbag may become blocked. The marker will indicate that the bag is "full" even when it is not. The dustbag should be changed as the suction power is greatly reduced. This is because the air flow of the dustbag may still be high enough not to activate the marker to show maximum. The dustbag should still be changed. 24 Maintenance and care How to change the dustbag ^ Lift the release button for the dust compartment lid and raise the lid until it clicks into place. ^ Grasp the collar by the two finger holes and pull it out from the dustbag holder. The dustbag has a flap which closes automatically to prevent dust from escaping when the dustbag is removed. ^ Insert the new dust bag as far as it will go into the dustbag holder. Keeping it folded will prevent it from getting caught when the dust compartment lid is closed. [. . . ] A heavily soiled exhaust or dust compartment filter can also be the cause of overheating. ^ Check for any blockages and allow the vacuum to cool for 30 minutes. 34 Technical Service In the event of a fault which you cannot fix yourself please contact the Miele Service Department at the phone number on the back of this booklet. This can be found on the data plate on the bottom of the vacuum. 35 Optional accessories Some models come equipped with one or more of the following accessories. Powerbrushes Observe the cleaning instructions of the floor manufacturer. Models designed for use with a Powerbrush have a release button on the cover cap to the connection socket. [. . . ]
