Guide to the vacuum cleaner

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,

including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE

USING THIS APPLIANCE

WARNING-

To reduce the risk of fire, electric

shock or injury:

Before using

~Check the voltage rating of the

vacuum cleaner before connecting the

power cord to an electrical outlet. The

power source should correspond with

the voltage rating plate of the vacuum

cleaner. Use only household AC

outlets. Never use DC power sources. If

you are not sure of your home’s voltage

supply, consult a qualified electrician.

Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a

higher voltage may result in damage or

injury.

~To reduce the risk of electric shock,

this appliance has a polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other). This

plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one

way. If the plug does not fit fully in the

outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does

not fit, contact a qualified electrician to

install the proper outlet. Do not alter the

plug in any way.

~The electrical outlet must be fitted

with a 15 A fuse.

~A damaged vacuum cleaner can be

dangerous. Check the packaging,

vacuum cleaner and accessories for

any signs of damage. Do not use a

damaged appliance.

~Do not use with a damaged cord or

plug. If the appliance is not working as

it should, has been dropped, damaged,

left outdoors or submerged in water,

bring it to a service center.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use

~Do not use on people or animals.

~Do not use outdoors or on wet

surfaces. Only dry surfaces should be

vacuumed.

~Use only as described in this

manual with Miele recommended

accessories.

~This appliance is intended for

household use only.

~Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to

be used as a toy. Close attention is

necessary when used near children.

~Be aware, the cord clip can become

loose over time. Do not allow children to

come in contact with this small part.

Choking hazard.

~Never use the vacuum cleaner

without the dustbag or filters in place. It

may cause damage.

~If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust

compartment lid will not close. Do not

force it shut.

~Do not leave the vacuum cleaner

plugged in. Unplug it from the outlet

when not in use and before servicing.

~This vacuum cleaner should not be

used to entrap or retain any hazardous

materials.

~Do not use the vacuum cleaner to

pick up liquids or damp dirt. This could

impair the electrical safety of the

vacuum cleaner. Wait for freshly

shampooed carpets to dry.

~Do not vacuum anything that is

burning or smoking such as cigarettes,

matches or hot ashes. The vacuum

cleaner could catch fire.

~Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,

such as that used in printers and

photocopiers, can conduct electricity.

~Do not vacuum flammable or

combustible liquids, such as gasoline,

or use in areas where they may be

present.

~Do not vacuum items which are

heavy, hard or have sharp edges. They

could cause a blockage and damage

the appliance.

~Do not pull or carry by the cord, use

the cord as a handle, close a door on

the cord, or pull the cord around sharp

edges or corners. Do not run the

appliance over the cord. Keep the cord

away from heated surfaces.

~Do not unplug the vacuum cleaner

by pulling on the cord. To unplug,

grasp the plug, not the cord.

~Do not handle the plug or vacuum

cleaner with wet hands.

~Keep the power cord, hair, loose

clothing, fingers and other parts of the

body away from openings and moving

parts.

~Do not place anything into the

openings of the vacuum cleaner. Do

not use if any openings are blocked;

keep them free of dust, lint, hair, or

anything that may reduce air flow.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Turn off all controls before

unplugging.

~Use extra care when cleaning on

stairs.

~The hose, wand and accessories

must not be used at head level to avoid

injury to eyes and ears.

~Monitor the airflow indicator and

inspect all filters regularly. For best

performance, the FilterBags and filters

should be replaced when necessary. A

full bag or blocked filter will reduce the

vacuum cleaner’s suction power. A

temperature limiter automatically

switches the vacuum cleaner off if it

gets too hot, see "Frequently asked

questions".

Using accessories

~Unplug the vacuum cleaner when

changing accessories.

~To avoid the risk of injury when

vacuuming do not touch the beater bar.

Danger of injury.

~Do not use the vacuum hose or

telescopic wand without an accessory

attached. The rim could be damaged

and injuries could result from sharp

edges.

~Miele FilterBags are disposable and

intended to be used only once. Do not

attempt to reuse them. An over stuffed

FilterBag will reduce the efficiency of

the vacuum cleaner.

~Only use genuine Miele FilterBags

with the Miele quality signet and

original Miele filter and accessories.

Only then can the manufacturer

guarantee its safety.

Cleaning, maintenance and

repairs

~Turn the vacuum cleaner off after

each use and before every cleaning/

maintenance. Pull the plug from the

outlet.

~Never submerge the vacuum

cleaner in water. Clean only with a dry

or slightly damp cloth when

disconnected from the mains supply. If

moisture gets into the appliance there

is a risk of electric shock.

~Repairs must only be performed by

an authorized service agent in

accordance with national and local

safety regulations. Repairs by

unqualified persons could be

dangerous. The manufacturer cannot

be held responsible for unauthorized

work.

~If the power cord is damaged it

should be replaced with a genuine

Miele cord by Technical Service.

Disposing of an old appliance

~Before discarding an old vacuum

cleaner, please cut off the power cord

and render the plug useless. Ensure

the appliance presents no danger to

children while being stored for

disposal.
