First How to Change the Bag in a Miele Vacuum Cleaner
Changing the bag in a Miele vacuum cleaner is a simple but essential task to maintain optimal performance and hygiene. Miele vacuums use high-quality AirClean 3D Efficiency dust bags, which are designed to trap fine dust and allergens effectively. Follow these detailed steps to change the bag safely and efficiently:
1. Know When to Change the Bag
Indicators:
Most Miele vacuums have a bag change indicator on the body of the machine. When the indicator turns red, the bag is full and needs to be replaced.
If you notice reduced suction or unusual noise during operation, this might also indicate that the bag is full or clogged.
Visual Check: If you're unsure, open the vacuum to inspect the bag. If it appears full or overstuffed, replace it.
2. Prepare for the Change
What You Need:
A new Miele dust bag compatible with your vacuum model. Common types include GN, FJM, or U bags, depending on your model. Check your user manual or the vacuum body for the correct type.
Ensure the vacuum is turned off and unplugged for safety.
Clean Hands: Wash your hands or wear gloves if you're sensitive to dust or allergens.
3. Open the Vacuum Cleaner Compartment
Locate the dust compartment release button:
On canister models, the release button is usually at the front or top of the vacuum. Press it to open the lid.
The lid will lift up to reveal the dust bag compartment.
4. Remove the Old Dust Bag
Secure Removal: The Miele bags are designed with a built-in hygienic self-closing flap:
Gently pull the bag away from the holder.
The flap will automatically seal, preventing dust and debris from escaping.
Dispose of the bag in your household trash. Place it in a sealed plastic bag if you’re concerned about allergens.
5. Insert the New Dust Bag
Take a new bag and check that it matches your vacuum’s model type (e.g., GN, FJM, or U).
Align the bag collar with the bag holder inside the compartment:
Slide the collar into the guide rails or clips until it clicks into place.
Ensure the bag is securely seated and not bent or folded, as this can block airflow.
Always use genuine Miele bags and filters to ensure proper fit, suction, and filtration.
How to Change the Miele Active AirClean Filter
1. Know When to Change the Active AirClean Filter
Replacement Frequency:
Miele recommends replacing the Active AirClean filter approximately every 50 hours of vacuuming or once a year, depending on usage.
Check the Timestrip Indicator:
Some filters come with a Timestrip® replacement indicator that activates when the filter is installed. If the red bar on the Timestrip reaches the end, it’s time to replace the filter.
2. Prepare for the Replacement
What You Need:
A new Miele Active AirClean filter compatible with your vacuum model. Verify the filter type (e.g., SF-AA50 or similar) in your vacuum’s user manual or on the original filter.
Turn Off and Unplug the Vacuum:
For safety, ensure the vacuum cleaner is powered off and unplugged.
3. Access the Filter Compartment
Locate the Filter Compartment:
Open the dust compartment of your vacuum cleaner. On most Miele canister vacuums, this is the same compartment where the dust bag is housed.
Remove the Old Filter:
Find the filter slot, typically located next to or behind the dust bag.
Gently pull out the old Active AirClean filter by its edges.
4. Install the New Active AirClean Filter
Prepare the New Filter:
Remove the new filter from its packaging. If it has a Timestrip indicator, activate it by pressing firmly on the red dot until it clicks. This will start the timer.
Insert the Filter:
Slide the new filter into the designated slot in the vacuum’s filter compartment. Ensure it fits snugly and is aligned properly.
Make sure the filter is seated flat and does not block any airflow pathways.
Use Genuine Miele Filters:
Alongside filter replacement, clean or replace the motor protection filter (located behind the dust bag) if it appears dirty.
