We also recommend emptying and
cleaning the fine dust container once or
twice a year (see "Frequently asked
questions – Cleaning the fine dust filter
manually").
Replacing the thread catchers
(figs. 28 + 29)
(only possible for models with an ad-
justable floorhead included as standard)
The thread catchers on the suction inlet
to the floorhead can be replaced. Re-
place the thread catchers if the pile has
worn down.
Lift the thread catchers from the
slots. To do so use a suitable tool,
e.g., a flat-head screwdriver.
Install new thread catchers.
Replacement parts are available from
your Miele dealer or through Miele
Service.
