Miele SF-HA 30-1 HEPA AirClean Filter for Classic C1, Complete C1 and Dynamic U1

The genuine Miele SF-HA 30-1 HEPA AirClean filter is the exhaust filter for Miele's 30-series vacuums: the Classic C1, the Complete C1 and the Dynamic U1 upright. Miele rates it HEPA class 13 and says it safely traps fine dust and allergens. Each box holds one filter, and Miele recommends a new one about once a year.

Fits these Miele vacuums

• Miele Classic C1 Cat & Dog, Classic C1 Turbo Team, Classic C1 Pure Suction and other Classic C1 models
• Miele Complete C1
• Miele Dynamic U1 upright

Not for the Guard L1, Guard M1, Complete C2 or Complete C3. Those vacuums take the larger 50-series frame, so order the SF-HA 50-1 HEPA AirClean instead. A 30 won't fit a Guard, and a 50 won't fit a Classic C1.

30 or 50? Go by the model name, not the bag. Classic C1, Complete C1 and Dynamic U1 take the 30. Guard, Complete C2, Complete C3 and Compact models take the 50. Bags don't settle it, because GN bags fit both the Classic C1 and the Complete C3. On the filter itself, the 30 has three tabs along the top and a small arrow tab in one bottom corner. Still unsure? Send us your model and we'll confirm the fit.

What it does

• HEPA filtration. Miele rates the SF-HA 30-1 as HEPA class 13 under DIN EN 1822 and says it catches 99.95% of particles in the exhaust air.
• Made for dust-sensitive homes. Miele says it filters even fine dust and allergens and calls it ideal for people with house dust allergies.
• An upgrade from the flat filter. The Classic C1 Turbo Team and Pure Suction ship with Miele's basic flat AirClean filter.

What's in the box

• 1 Miele SF-HA 30-1 HEPA AirClean exhaust filter

This version has no TimeStrip change indicator. Miele's earlier SF-HA 30 with TimeStrip lists the same vacuums.

How to install it

These are Miele's steps for the Classic C1:

• Open the dust compartment lid.
• If a flat AirClean filter is fitted, remove the filter grille completely before you install the HEPA filter. Keep the grille: you'll need it to go back to a flat filter.
• Lift the old exhaust filter out, insert the new one so it seats properly, and press it down into position. Use only one exhaust filter at a time.

When to replace it

• About once a year: Miele says to change the HEPA AirClean 30 after about 50 operating hours, roughly a year of average use. Suction and filtration drop if you run it longer.
• Set a reminder: on Classic C1 models that support it, scan the QR code on the filter box and enter the start date in the Miele app.

Bags for 30-series vacuums: Type GN for the Classic C1, Type FJM for the Complete C1 and Type U for the Dynamic U1. Dynamic U1 owners can also get 16 U bags with an HA 30 HEPA filter in the Type U Performance Pack.

Expert tip

"Since this filter has no TimeStrip, write the install date on the box flap and keep it with your bags. Every time you open a new box of bags, glance at the date. Once it's been a year, swap the filter too."

Frequently asked questions

Will the SF-HA 30-1 fit my Guard L1?

No. Every Guard L1 takes 50-series filters. Order the SF-HA 50-1 instead.

Does it fit the Complete C3?

No. Only the Complete C1 takes the 30. The Complete C2 and C3 take the SF-HA 50-1.

What does "No TimeStrip" mean?

Miele's earlier SF-HA 30 (part 9616270) carried a TimeStrip filter change indicator. The SF-HA 30-1 doesn't have one. Miele lists the same vacuums and the same once-a-year interval for both.
