Cleaning performance reduced (with bag)

The cleaning performance of the vacuum cleaner with bag is reduced.

The airways are blocked.

Something bulky has been vacuumed up (e.g., large leaves from house plants) and is blocking the suction wand. The casing gets very hot as air is unable to escape as required.

Disassemble the floorhead, hose, handle, and telescopic wand.

You can carefully push coarse particles which are jammed in the hose or in the telescopic wand toward 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 dust container is full and/or the filter is dirty.

The extraction power is reduced if the dust container, the exhaust filter, or the motor protection filter is full and therefore will not let any air through.

Switch off the vacuum cleaner and unplug the electrical plug.

Replace the FilterBag, the exhaust filter, or the motor protection filter, if necessary, or empty the dust container.

FilterBags and additional accessories can be found in our Miele online shop; see the “Miele online shop” link.
