Pull the FilterBag out by the grip on
the collar.
Insert the new FilterBag into the blue
holder as far as it will go. Leave it
folded up when you take it out of the
box.
It should be unfolded as far as possi-
ble in the dust compartment.
Close the dust compartment lid se-
curely, making sure it clicks into posi-
tion. Take care not to trap the Fil-
terBag when doing so.
An empty operation lock prevents
the FilterBag from closing without a
FilterBag in place. Do not force it!
Insert the hose connector into the
suction socket on the vacuum
cleaner until it clicks into position. To
do this, line up the guides on the two
pieces.
When to change the motor protection
filter
Replace this filter every time you start a
new packet of filter bags.
Every packet of original Miele filter bags
contains a motor protection filter. Multi-
packs contain four motor protection fil-
ters.
Changing the motor protection filter
Open the dust compartment lid.
Pull the FilterBag out by the grip on
the collar.

Questions and answers
when in use the power floor head has loud sequel
The loud, high-pitched squeaking noise from the power floor head of the Miele Complete C3 could be due to several reasons:
1. Brush or Roller Issues – If the brush was previously not spinning and was manually fixed, there may still be debris, dust, or hair stuck in the roller, causing friction and noise.
2. Bearings or Belt Wear – The bearings in the brush roller or the belt mechanism might be worn out or dry, leading to squealing sounds.
3. Lack of Lubrication – If parts of the brush head, such as the roller bearings, are dry or dusty, they may need cleaning and lubrication.
4. Misalignment or Damage – The brush or internal components may be misaligned or damaged after the previous fix attempt, causing abnormal friction.
To fix the issue, try cleaning the brush roll, checking for obstructions, and applying a suitable lubricant to the bearings if accessible. If the problem persists, replacing worn parts or seeking professional service may be necessary.

I cannot close the lid of Miele Complete C3 125 vacuum cleaner after changing the dust bag - please contact me asap!
The lid of your Miele Complete C3 vacuum cleaner will not close if the dust bag is not inserted correctly. The dust compartment lid is designed to remain open unless a replacement filter bag is properly positioned. Ensure that the filter bag is fully pushed into the holder until you hear a clicking sound. Do not use force to close the lid, as this might break it. If the bag is not aligned correctly, the port may not be properly connected, preventing the lid from closing.

@Marja Laitinen I had the same problem. But a little lubrication with WD40 of the hinges did the wonder,!!,!
How do I "open" the Air Clean exhaust filter on the Miele 3 vacuum cleaner?
Press the release catch on the filter grille and open the grille as far as it will go. Take care not to trap the dustbag when doing so.

The dustcompartment lid is upright, but seems to stick when I try to lower it. Affraid of braking something
If the dust compartment lid on a Miele Complete C3 vacuum is sticking, avoid using force to close it, as this may cause damage. Ensure the vacuum bag is fully inserted into the bag holder until you hear a clicking noise. If the bag is not properly positioned, the lid may not close correctly, and dust may leak into the compartment. Properly aligning the bag will help the lid close smoothly and prevent damage to the filters and motor.
