Miele Triflex HX2 Maintenance Guidelines
We recommend using only genuine Miele accessories bearing the “ORIGINAL Miele” logo on the packaging. Only these will guarantee the optimum performance of your vacuum cleaner and the best possible cleaning results. Please note that faults and damage caused by use of accessories which do not bear the "ORIGINAL Miele” logo on the packaging are not covered by the vacuum cleaner warranty.
Cleaning the Electrobrush/handheld brush
- Disconnect the Electrobrush/handheld brush from the vacuum cleaner.
- Place the Electrobrush/handheld brush upside down on a level, clean surface.
- Cut any threads or hairs that have wound themselves around the roller brush with a pair of scissors. Move along the guide track on the roller brush to guide the scissors.
- Run the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up the cut threads and hairs.
- If the small running wheels are very heavily soiled or blocked, you can remove them for easier cleaning (not necessary in the case of the handheld brush). Use a flathead screwdriver to remove them.
(Note: Roller brush removal is not possible with the handheld brush)
- You can take the roller brush out of the Electrobrush to remove stubborn soiling and clean the inside of the Electrobrush.
- Unlock the cover on the side of the Electrobrush.
- Lift the cover up as far as it will go.
- Remove the roller brush.
- Remove the roller brush handle if heavy soiling is present there.
- Clean the roller brush and the roller brush handle and remove any stubborn soiling inside the Electrobrush.
- Reassemble the Electrobrush in reverse order.
Cleaning the pre-filter and fine dust filter
Clean both filters thoroughly at least once every 3 months. Follow the steps in the order described.
- Remove the dust container.
- Empty the dust container over a bin.
- Turn the lid of the dust container beyond the stop until the arrow tips are aligned at the top.
- Remove the pre-filter by pulling it upwards.
- Twist the fine dust filter anti-clockwise by 180 degrees. Use the recesses to help you. You will hear an operating noise, which is a normal part of the Comfort-Clean function.
- Twist the fine dust filter clockwise. Use the recesses to help you.
- Remove the fine dust filter.
[Risk of damage] caused by incorrect cleaning. The fine dust filter can become damaged and be less effective. Do not clean the fine dust filter with water and avoid cleaning the inside. Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects to clean the filter. Do not brush the fine dust filter.
- Hold the fine dust filter over a bin.
- Empty the fine dust filter by carefully tapping the rubberised lower edge.
- Turn the fine dust filter slightly while doing this to free dirt from all crevices.
[Risk of damage] caused by incorrect cleaning. The pre-filter can become damaged and be less effective. Do not clean the pre-filter with water. Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects to clean the filter.
- Clean the pre-filter with the supplied dusting brush or with a dry cloth.
- After cleaning the fine dust filter and pre-filter, reinsert the former into the latter by pressing the round cap on top of the fine dust filter down as far as it will go.
To continue achieving the best possible cleaning results, replace the fine dust filter (HXFSF-2) with a new one after approximately 3 years.
