The timestrip® filter change indicator shows that the vacuum cleaner bag needs to be changed despite it having been changed only recently.
Switch the vacuum cleaner off using the On/Off foot switch.
Remove the mains plug from the socket.
Disassemble the floorhead, hose, handle and telescopic tube.
You can carefully push large items which are jammed in the hose or in the telescopic tube towards the floorhead using a long object (e.g. a broom handle).
Items causing a blockage are usually easy to shake out of the handle.
The vacuum cleaner bag timestrip® filter change indicator does not refer to the volume of dust vacuumed, but to the extent to which filtration is still effective. If you have vacuumed up a lot of fine dust (such as drilling dust, sand, plaster dust or flour), the fine filter pores of the vacuum cleaner bag will be saturated before the volume of the vacuum cleaner bag has filled up with more substantial soiling.
Replace the vacuum cleaner bag to ensure that your Miele vacuum cleaner can provide the optimum cleaning performance.
