1. Open the vacuum cleaner compartment. The method for opening may vary slightly by model; refer to your vacuum cleaner's specific manual if unsure.

4.3. Installing Motor Protection and Exhaust Filters

The Miele XXL Performance Pack also includes motor protection and exhaust filters. These should be replaced each time you start a new pack of vacuum bags to maintain optimal filtration and protect your vacuum's motor. Refer to your vacuum cleaner's manual for specific instructions on locating and replacing these filters, as their placement can vary by model.

5. Operating Instructions

With new bags and filters installed, your Miele vacuum cleaner is ready for operation. The AirClean 3D GN bags and HEPA filter work in conjunction to provide effective filtration, trapping fine dust, allergens, viruses, and bacteria. This significantly reduces the amount of dust and particles recirculated into the air, contributing to improved indoor air hygiene.

Ensure all compartments are securely closed before operating the vacuum cleaner to prevent dust leakage and maintain suction power.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your vacuum bags and filters is crucial for sustaining the performance and efficiency of your Miele vacuum cleaner.

6.1. Replacing Vacuum Bags

Replace the vacuum bag when the bag change indicator on your vacuum cleaner signals that it is full, or when you notice a decrease in suction power. The self-closing mechanism of the AirClean 3D GN bags ensures hygienic disposal without contact with dust.

6.2. Replacing HEPA AirClean Filter HA50

The HEPA AirClean Filter HA50 should be replaced approximately every 50 operating hours or at least once a year, whichever comes first. Some Miele models feature a filter change indicator that turns red when replacement is due. Regular replacement ensures maximum air hygiene and effective trapping of fine particles.

6.3. Replacing Motor Protection and Exhaust Filters

The motor protection and exhaust filters included in this pack should be replaced with each new box of Miele AirClean 3D GN vacuum bags. These filters play a vital role in protecting the motor from dust and ensuring clean exhaust air. Consult your vacuum cleaner's operating instructions for precise replacement procedures.

7. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Miele vacuum cleaner after installing new bags or filters, consider the following:

• Reduced Suction Power: Check if the vacuum bag is correctly installed and not overfilled. Ensure all filters (HEPA, motor protection, exhaust) are clean and properly seated. Verify that the hose and attachments are free from blockages.
• Dust Escaping: Confirm that the vacuum bag is fully inserted and its self-closing mechanism is engaged. Ensure the filter compartment covers are securely closed. Check for any damage to the vacuum bag or filters.
• Unusual Odors: This may indicate a need to replace the filters, especially if using an Active AirClean filter (not included in this pack but available for odor control).

Always use original Miele replacement parts to ensure compatibility and maintain the performance and warranty of your appliance.
