be replaced with genuine Miele replacement parts.
Cleaning
Do not immerse the vacuum cleaner or any accessories supplied
with it in water.
The Multi Floor XXL Electrobrush, the Electro Compact handheld
brush (depending on the model), the PowerUnit, the suction tube
and the Comfort handle all contain electrical wires. The plug con-
nectors must not come into contact with water. Danger of electric
shock. They should only be cleaned with a dry cloth.
Clean the vacuum cleaner and accessories only with a dry or
slightly damp cloth when disconnected from the power supply. Ex-
ception:
- Dust container: empty the dust container and remove the pre-fil-
ter. Clean the dust container using water and mild washing-up li-
quid only. Then dry the dust container carefully. Replace the pre-
filter in the dust container.
Correct use
Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the dust container, pre-fil-
ter, fine dust filter and motor protection filter fitted.
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or is still
glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether glowing or apparently
extinguished.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water, liquid or
damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed rugs or car-
pets are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust. Toner, such
as that used in printers and photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
