Miele S 388 - Manual (Page 20)

Warning: Always disconnect the
vacuum cleaner from the electrical
supply for maintenance work and for
cleaning. Switch off at the wall
socket and remove the plug. If using
the ACCU NOVA floorhead, switch
this off as well.
The Miele filter system consists of three
filters which must be replaced from
time to time to ensure that your cleaner
performs efficiently.
– Dustbag
– Exhaust filter
– Dust compartment filter (for motor
protection)
Warning: To ensure that your
vacuum cleaner functions correctly,
cleans hygienically and gives you
many years of trouble-free operation
please only use genuine Miele
approved dustbags and filters. The
use of non-Miele approved
dustbags and accessories could
invalidate your warranty and cause
damage to your product.
