How to change the SF-AA 50 carbon filter

Watch the guide or follow the steps.

Complete C3 changing the dustbags and filters · Miele Australia (official)
  1. 1Open the dust compartment lid.
  2. 2Lift out the old exhaust filter at the back of the compartment. If an AirClean filter in a grille was fitted, take the grille out too: the SF-AA 50 goes in on its own.
  3. 3Press the new SF-AA 50 down into the slot until it sits flat. Use only one exhaust filter at a time.
  4. 4Close the lid. S-series with a filter indicator: press the reset button. Guard: scan the QR code on the pack and enter the start date in the Miele app.

What happens if I don't change it?
Suction drops and the vacuum may cut out on a blocked filter, and a full bag loses suction well before it looks full.
