There is a metal inlay underneath

the handle which is designed to avoid

the unpleasant effects of electrostatic

discharges. Please make sure that you

keep your hand in constant contact with

this metal strip during vacuuming.

Do not pull or carry the vacuum

cleaner by the cable and be careful not

to damage the cable when withdrawing

the plug from the socket.

– Keep the cable away from sharp

edges and do not let it be squashed,

for example, under a door.

– Avoid running the vacuum cleaner

over the cable.

This could damage the cable, plug or

socket and pose a safety hazard. The

appliance must not be used if any of

these have suffered damage.

If the cable is damaged it must be

replaced together with a complete

cable rewind. For safety reasons this

must only be done by the Miele Service

Department or a Miele authorised ser-

vice technician.

While the vacuum cleaner is under

guarantee, repairs should only be

undertaken by a service technician

authorised by Miele. Otherwise the

guarantee will be invalidated.

Repairs should only be carried out

by a Miele authorised service

technician. Repairs and other work by

unqualified persons could be

dangerous. The manufacturer cannot

be held liable for unauthorised work.

Warning and Safety instructions

It is important to switch the vacuum

cleaner off before changing over

accessories and floorheads, especially

an Electro- or Turbobrush.

Do not let the vacuum cleaner get

wet. Clean only with a dry cloth or

slightly damp cloth when disconnected

from the mains supply. If moisture gets

into the appliance, there is a risk of

electric shock.

Correct use

To avoid the risk of damage, do not

use the vacuum cleaner without the

dustbag, dust compartment filter and

exhaust filter in place. Otherwise it

could get damaged.

If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust

compartment cover does not normally

close. Do not force it.

Do not vacuum up any water, liquid

or damp dirt. This will cause major

faults and could seriously impair the

functioning and electrical safety of the

appliance. Wait until any freshly

cleaned or shampooed carpets or floor

coverings are completely dry before

attempting to vacuum.

Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,

such as that used in printers and

photocopiers, can conduct electricity.

The filter system in the vacuum cleaner

may not filter it completely, causing the

toner to be blown back into the room by

the fan.

Do not vacuum up anything which

has been burning or is still glowing e.g.

cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether

glowing or apparently extinguished.

The cleaner might catch fire.
