Disposal of packing material
The transport and protective packing
material has been selected from materi
-
als which are environmentally friendly
for disposal and can normally be recy
-
cled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed safely and kept
out of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these materi
-
als away, please ensure they are of
-
fered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances may contain materials
which can be reclaimed or recycled.
Please contact your dealer, your local
waste collection centre or scrap mer
-
chant about potential recycling
schemes.
Before disposing of an old appliance
first make it unusable. Disconnect it
from the mains, cut the cable off the ap
-
pliance as close to the cleaner as pos
-
sible and cut the plug off. The plug cut
from the cable should be rendered use
-
less and then disposed of and on no
account be inserted into any socket
elsewhere in the house (electric shock
hazard).
Make appropriate arrangements for its
safe disposal and make sure that the
appliance presents no danger to chil-
dren while being stored for disposal.
Disposing of the dustbag and
filters
These are made from environmentally
friendly materials and can be disposed
of with the normal household waste.
The dustbag should only be disposed
of in this way if it has been used exclu
-
sively for general household dust.

This appliance meets statutory
safety requirements. Inappropriate
use can however lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions
carefully before starting to use this
appliance. They give important infor
-
mation on the safety, operation and
care of the appliance. This way you
will prevent the risk of accidents or
damage to the appliance. Please
keep these operating instructions in
a safe place for reference, and pass
them on to any future users.
Correct usage
This vacuum cleaner must only be
used in a domestic household situ-
ation to vacuum dry floor surfaces. Do
not use on people or animals.
Any other usage is at the owner’s risk
and could be dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for damage resulting from im-
proper or incorrect use of the appli
-
ance.
Children
Do not let small children play with
the appliance or operate it. Please
supervise its use by older children and
the elderly or infirm.
Before using for the first time
A damaged vacuum cleaner can
be dangerous. Check the packag
-
ing, the vacuum cleaner and accesso
-
ries for any signs of damage. Do not
use a damaged appliance.
Ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and fre
-
quency) match the mains electricity
supply. It is essential that they match to
avoid damage to the appliance.
The plug must be fitted with a 13A
fuse (UK).
Daily use
It important to switch the vacuum
cleaner off before changing over
accessories and floor heads, especially
a turbo or electro brush.
To avoid the risk of damage, do not
use the vacuum cleaner without the
dustbag, dust compartment filter and
exhaust filter in place.
If a dustbag is not inserted, the
dust compartment cover does not
normally close. Do not force it.
There is a metal inlay underneath
the handle, which is designed to
protect the user from electrostatic dis
-
charges. Please make sure that you
keep your hand in constant contact with
this metal strip during vacuuming. This
way any build-up of electrostatic
charge will be rendered ineffective.
Warning and Safety instructions
6
Do not vacuum up liquids or damp
dirt. This will cause major faults
and could seriously impair the function
-
ing and electrical safety of the appli
-
ance. Wait until any freshly cleaned or
shampooed carpets or floor coverings
are completely dry before attempting to
vacuum.
Do not vacuum up anything which
has been burning or is still glowing
e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether
glowing or apparently extinguished.
The cleaner might catch fire.
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,
such as that used in printers and
photocopiers can conduct electricity.
The filter system in the vacuum cleaner
may not filter it completely and so the
toner could be blown back into the at-
mosphere by the fan.
Do not vacuum up any inflammable
or combustible liquids or gases
and do not vacuum in areas where
such substances are stored. The
cleaner might explode.
Do not vacuum up items which are
heavy, hard or have sharp edges.
They could cause a blockage and dam
-
age the appliance.
Floor attachments, accessories
and tubes must not be used at
head level to avoid the risk of injury,
e.g. to eyes and ears.
Do not pull or carry the appliance
by the cable. When disconnecting
from the mains socket pull by the plug
and not by the cable.
- Keep the cable away from sharp
edges and do not let it be squashed,
for example, under a door.
- Avoid running the vacuum cleaner
over the cable.
A damaged cable, plug or socket is a
safety hazard. The appliance must not
be used if any of these have suffered
damage.
Monitor the change dustbag indi
-
cator and change the dustbag if
necessary. Check the exhaust and dust
compartment filters at the same time
and change them too if necessary. A
full bag or blocked filter will hamper the
suction power of the cleaner. A temper-
ature limiter switches the vacuum
cleaner off automatically if it gets too
hot, see section "Problem solving
guide".
Do not use aroma capsules if your
cleaner is fitted with an ACTIVE
HEPA filter or an ACTIVE air clean filter.
The active charcoal layer in the filter will
absorb the aroma from the capsules
rendering them ineffective.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
Using accessories
The socket on the vacuum cleaner
(depending on model) must only
be used for the Miele Electrobrush
specified for use with this appliance.
To avoid the risk of injury when
vacuuming with a Miele Electro- or
Turbobrush do not touch the rotating
roller brush.
It is not advisable to vacuum di
-
rectly with the handle, i.e. without
an accessory attached as the rim could
get damaged and you could hurt your
-
self on sharp edges. Danger of injury.
Miele vacuum cleaner bags are
disposable and intended to be
used only once. Do not attempt to
re-use. Blocked pores reduce the effi-
ciency of the cleaner.
Use only genuine Miele dustbags,
filters and accessories. This en-
sures optimum performance of the vac-
uum cleaner throughout its life.
Cleaning, maintenance and re
-
pairs
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the mains supply for
maintenance work and for cleaning.
Switch off at the wall socket and re
-
move the plug. Pull on the plug and not
the cable.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get
wet. Clean only with a dry cloth or
slightly damp cloth when disconnected
from the mains supply. If moisture gets
into the appliance there is the risk of an
electric shock.
Repairs may only be carried out by
a suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with national and
local safety regulations. Repairs and
other work by unqualified persons
could be dangerous.
If the cable is damaged it should
be replaced together with a com
-
plete cable rewind by a Miele service
technician.
Disposing of an old appliance
When disposing of an old appli
-
ance cut the cable off the appli-
ance as close to the cleaner as possi-
ble and cut the plug off. The plug cut
from the cord should be rendered use-
less and then disposed of and on no
account be inserted into any socket
elsewhere in the house (electric shock
hazard). See section "Disposal of your
old appliance" earlier in this booklet for
further advice.
The manufacturer cannot be held lia
-
ble for damage caused by non-com
-
pliance with these Warning and
Safety instructions.

length, even when working close to
the wall socket. Otherwise there is a
danger of overheating and damage.
Rewinding
^ Switch off at the wall socket and re-
move the plug.
^ Press the rewind switch. The cable
will rewind automatically.
Auto-reverse
(depending on model)
To switch on this function, move the
slide switch to "Auto-Reverse". The re

adjusts itself to the distance between
the appliance and the wall socket.
Use
16
Switching the vacuum cleaner
on and off
To switch the vacuum cleaner on or off:
^
Press the On-Off switch.
Vacuuming
When vacuuming, especially fine dust,
e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster, flour, tal
-
cum powder etc., electrostatic charges
build up naturally. Under certain condi
-
tions these charges will be released. To
avoid the unpleasant effects of these
electrostatic discharges a metal inlay
has been incorporated into the under-
side of the handle.
^ Please make sure that you keep your
hand in constant contact with this
metal strip during vacuuming. This
way any build-up of electrostatic
charge will be rendered ineffective.
^ When vacuuming pull the cleaner be-
hind you on its castor wheels. You
can stand it upright for vacuuming
stairs and curtains etc.
Regulating the suction
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring. The higher the
wattage the more powerful the suction.
Some models also have symbols on the
controls. The symbols indicate the type
of use the settings are suitable for.
The controls vary from model to model.
These are described on the following
pages.
a = curtains, lightweight fabrics
b = upholstery, cushions
c = thick pile carpets, rugs and
runners
d = for energy-saving daily use
e = lightly soiled textured carpets
f = textured hard flooring, and for
intensive cleaning of carpets
Use
17

setting.
When switched on the vacuum cleaner
operates at the power setting last used.
A single short press on the control
moves the suction power up or down
one setting at a time. If the control is
held down, the suction power setting
will automatically move through the
power settings until the control is re-
leased.
+ / - controls with Automatic
setting
There are six power settings and an
Automatic setting available. Press the
controls to select the suction power you
require. The display shows the power
level in watts.
^
Press the + control to select a higher

A single short press on the control
moves the suction power up or down
one setting at a time. If the control is
held down, the suction power setting
will automatically move through the
power settings until the control is re
-
leased.
Use
19
Automatic setting
If the Automatic setting is chosen the
vacuum cleaner automatically adjusts
the suction power to suit the surface
being cleaned. This ensures the correct
power setting for the type of floor or
carpet being cleaned.
^
Keep pressing the - control until the
Automatic setting is activated.
^
Press the + control to de-activate the
Automatic setting.
,
Do not use the Automatic setting
to vacuum lightweight materials or
curtains. These could be sucked in
and possibly damaged.
Opening the air inlet valve
Opening the air inlet valve allows you to
reduce the suction power quickly and
easily for brief periods. This is very use
-
ful if you have vacuumed up something
too large by mistake, or when moving
from cleaning a carpeted floor to a
lightweight rug. Reducing the suction
will prevent the object or rug from being
sucked up and causing a blockage.
^
Open the air inlet valve far enough to
reduce the power. If necessary, re
-
move any blockage, close the valve
up again and continue vacuuming.
Use
20
Blowing out
Blower connection socket
(depending on model)
The blower connection socket can be
used to connect the suction hose to the
"blower" outlet of the vacuum cleaner,
e.g. for dusting off multi-layered radia
-
tors and blowing dust out of inaccessi
-
ble corners so that it can be vacuumed
up. It can also be used to "blow out" the
suction hose if it should ever become
blocked.
^ Press the release button for the dust
compartment lid and raise up the lid
until it clicks into place.
^ Take out the exhaust filter or the filter
grille if this has been fitted and re-
place with the blower connection
socket.
^ Close the dust compartment lid.
^
Now open the accessories compart
-
ment and insert the elbow of the suc
-
tion tube into the blower connection
socket.
Use
21
Park system
A Park system has been designed for
conveniently parking the vacuum
cleaner during pauses. A special park
-
ing attachment is fitted to all floorheads
including the Electrobrush and to the
rear of the cleaner.
^
Fit the lower clip on the floorhead into
the slot on the end of the vacuum
cleaner from above (see illustration).
Switching on and off with the Park
system
(depending on model)
Parking the floorhead in this way whilst
vacuuming automatically switches off
the cleaner. Lifting the floorhead out of
the Park system switches the cleaner
on again.
If your vacuum cleaner is equipped
with +/- suction power selector controls
you can de-activate or activate the Park
system’s On-Off function.
^
Switch the vacuum cleaner off with
the On-Off switch.
^
Press and hold the + and - controls in
and at the same time switch the vac
-
uum cleaner on with the On-Off
switch.
If you intend leaving your vacuum
cleaner parked in this way for any
length of time, you must switch it off at
the socket, unplug it and rewind the
mains cable.
Setting down, transportation and storage
22
Transportation and storage
^
Stand the vacuum cleaner vertically.
^
Fit both clips on the floorhead into the
two point holder on the side of the
cleaner.
This makes the cleaner easier to carry
or store.
Setting down, transportation and storage
23
,
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical supply for
maintenance work and for cleaning.
Switch off at the wall socket and re
-
move the plug.
The Miele filter system consists of three
filters which must be replaced from time
to time to ensure efficient suction.
–
Dustbag (filter bag)
–
Exhaust filter
–
Dust compartment filter (for motor
protection)
Use only genuine Miele dustbags
and filters, making sure they are the
correct ones for your model. This en-
sures optimum performance of the
suction power and also ensures that
the bag is used to capacity.
Purchasing new dustbags and
filters
Replacement dustbags and filters can
be obtained from your local Miele
Dealer or direct from the Miele Spare
Parts Department.
Order original Miele dustbags with the
letter:
–
F/J/M for models S 500 - S 548
–
G/N for models S 600 - S 648.
Always quote the model number given
on the data plate located underneath
the appliance.
A "SUPER air clean" exhaust filter and a
dust compartment filter are supplied
with every packet of Miele dustbags.
If you wish to purchase exhaust filters
or dust compartment filters separately,
please quote the model number of your
appliance when ordering.
You can replace the exhaust filter sup-
plied with the vacuum cleaner with one
of the other types of filters if you wish
(see "Replacing one type of filter with
another").
Maintenance and care
24
When to change the dustbag
Change the dustbag when the colour
marker in the dustbag change indicator
fills the display.
When first switched on it is normal for
the indicator to show half-full. This does
not mean the bag is half-full.
The dustbags are disposable and in
-
tended to be used only once. Do not
attempt to re-use as suction would
be reduced.
Checking the dustbag change indica
-
tor
^ Attach the floorhead to the vacuum
cleaner. Other attachments, for exam-
ple the crevice nozzle, can affect the
function of the dustbag change indi-
cator. Therefore only test with the
floorhead fitted.
^ Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
^
Lift the floorhead off the floor a little. If
the marker completely fills the indica
-
tor window, then the bag needs to be
changed. It can also indicate a
blockage in the hose.
How the dustbag change indicator
works
The indicator is designed to show when
the bag is full of common household
dust and works by measuring the air
permeability of the dustbag. Normal
household dust is composed of a mix-
ture of dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads,
grit etc.
However, if an amount of fine dust,
such as plaster, brick dust, cement or
flour is vacuumed then the pores of the
dustbag become blocked very quickly.
The marker will indicate that the bag is
"full" even when it is not. In this instance
the dustbag must be changed as suc
-
tion power is reduced when the pores
of the dustbag are blocked.
If, on the other hand, a large quantity of
hair, wool or carpet fluff is vacuumed,
the dustbag change indicator may not
register "full" even though the bag is
full. This is because the air permeability
of the dustbag may still be high enough
not to activate the marker to show maxi
-
mum. The dustbag should still be
changed.
Maintenance and care
25
Replacing the dustbag
^
Press the release button for the dust
compartment lid and raise the lid until
it clicks into place.
The dustbag has a closing flap which
closes automatically when the dustbag
is removed to prevent any dust escap-
ing.
^ Hold the bag by the collar and then
pull it out of its holder.
It can then be disposed of with the nor-
mal household waste as long as it has
only been used for vacuuming up nor-
mal household dust.
Do not unfold the bag when you take it
out of the packet. Keeping it folded will
prevent it from getting trapped when
the dust compartment lid is closed.
^
To insert a new dustbag, push the
collar securely into the frame as far
as it will go. If it is not correctly lo
-
cated the dust compartment lid will
not close.
^
Close the dust compartment lid
firmly. It should click into place.
Maintenance and care
26
When to change the exhaust
filter
Depending on model, your vacuum
cleaner will be fitted with one of the fol
-
lowing exhaust filters:
a a SUPER air clean filter,
b an ACTIVE air clean filter or
c an ACTIVE HEPA filter
Replace the SUPER air clean filter
every time you start a new packet of
dustbags. A SUPER air clean filter is
supplied with every packet of Miele
dustbags.
Replace the ACTIVE air clean or the
ACTIVE HEPA filter
approx. once a year. It should be re-
placed sooner if it is obviously soiled or
no longer effective. Make a note of the
date on the filter.
See "Accessories available as optional
extras" for descriptions of these two fil
-
ters.

Exhaust filter change indicator
Some models are equipped with an ex
-
haust filter change indicator (Re-set
button 7) which is designed for the
change cycle of an ACTIVE air clean or
an ACTIVE HEPA filter. The indicator
lights up after approx. 50 hours of oper
-
ation which is equivalent to about a
year of average use.
The vacuum cleaner can still be used
with the exhaust filter indicator lit up.
However, the suction power will be re
-
duced as will the effectiveness of the fil
-
ter if it is not replaced in good time.
The filter change indicator light will
have no significance if a SUPER air
clean filter (a) has been fitted, but
should still be re-set.
Re-setting the filter change indicator
The filter change indicator (Re-set but-
ton 7), needs to be re-set each time
the filter is replaced. To do this the vac-
uum cleaner must be connected to the
electricity supply.
^
Press on the filter change indicator
light until it goes out. The display is
now back in the starting position
again.

Replacing one type of filter
with another
Depending on model, your vacuum
cleaner is fitted with one of the following
exhaust filters as standard:
a SUPER air clean
b ACTIVE air clean
c ACTIVE HEPA
Please note
1. If you wish to replace the SUPER air
clean filter a with an ACTIVE air clean
filter b or an ACTIVE HEPA filter c, it is
essential that you remove the filter
grille* before fitting the new type of fil-
ter.
2. If you wish to replace the ACTIVE air
clean filter b or the ACTIVE HEPA filter
c with a SUPER air clean filter a, then it
is essential that you also fit the filter
grille*.
* filter grille - see "Accessories sup
-
plied" section.
3. The ACTIVE air clean filter can be
used instead of the ACTIVE HEPA filter
and vice versa. Fitting is the same for
both.

Maintenance and care
33
,
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electricity supply
for maintenance work and for clean
-
ing. Switch off at the wall socket and
remove the plug (pull on the plug,
not the cable).
Vacuum cleaner and accessories
External surfaces of the vacuum
cleaner and of the accessories can be
cleaned with a dry cloth or a slightly
damp cloth or with a proprietary
cleaner suitable for plastic.
,
Do not use an abrasive cleaner,
a glass cleaner or an all-purpose
cleaner. Because of their chemical
composition they could cause seri-
ous damage to the plastic casing.
Dust compartment
The dust compartment can, if neces-
sary, be cleaned using a dry duster,
dusting brush or, if available, a second
vacuum cleaner to suck the dust out.
Monitor the change dustbag indicator
and inspect all filters regularly. Clean or
replace them when necessary accord
-
ing to the operating instructions.
,
Never dip the vacuum cleaner in
water. If moisture gets into the appli
-
ance there is the risk of an electric
shock.
Cleaning and care
34
Overheating
A temperature limiter switches the vac
-
uum cleaner off automatically if it gets
too hot. Some models also have a
warning light , which comes on to in
-
dicate that it has overheated.
This can occur if, for instance, large ar
-
ticles block the suction tube or when
the dustbag is full or contains particles
of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or
dust compartment filter can also be the
cause of overheating. In this case,
please switch off the vacuum cleaner
using the On-Off switch.
After removing the cause, wait for a pe-
riod of approx. 20 - 30 minutes, so that
the vacuum cleaner can cool down. It
can then be switched on again.
