Miele Spacer Bracket for AirClean Exhaust Filter, Guard Series

Genuine Miele spacer bracket for the AirClean exhaust filter, part number 12550741 (EAN 4002516961031). This molded filter cage holds a standard Miele AirClean exhaust filter — the cloth filter included with every box of genuine Miele dust bags — flat against the exhaust grille of Guard series canister vacuums. If your machine currently runs a HEPA AirClean or Active AirClean cartridge and you want to switch to the standard AirClean filter, this spacer is the piece that fills the cartridge bay and keeps the filter positioned for full-face airflow.

Compatibility: Miele lists this spacer for the Guard M1 (SVWE0 series — Guard M1, Guard M1 Parquet XL, Guard M1 Cat & Dog), and it is also supplied for the Guard L1 family (SUFE0 — AllFloor, Electro, Cat & Dog). It performs the same job the earlier 10971050/10971051 spacer did for Complete C3 and S8 machines.

Why genuine matters here: the spacer's ribs set the exact gap between filter and grille. An imitation that sits even slightly proud can rattle, restrict exhaust flow, or let unfiltered air slip around the edge. The original Miele part clicks in cleanly and disappears into the machine.
