personal injury and damage to property.
Please read the operating instructions before using the

Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused
by non-compliance with these instructions.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and
pass them on to any future user.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
Check the voltage rating of the vacuum cleaner before
connecting the power cord to an electrical outlet. Your
power source should correspond with the voltage rating
plate located on the underside of the vacuum. Use only
household AC outlets. Never use DC power sources. If you
are not sure of your home’s voltage supply, consult a qual-
ified electrician. Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a
higher voltage than indicated in these instructions may re-
sult in damage to the vacuum cleaner 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 out-
let. Do not alter the plug in any way.
Technical safety
Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories,
check for any visible signs of damage. Do not use a dam-
aged appliance.
Compare the connection data on the data plate of the
vacuum cleaner (voltage and frequency) with that of the
electricity supply. This data must match exactly. Without
modifications, the vacuum cleaner is suited for 50Hz or
60Hz.
The electrical outlet must be rated at 15Amps.

Reliable and safe operation of this vacuum cleaner can
only be assured if it has been connected to the electricity
supply.
Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the power
cord, and be careful not to damage the cord when with-
drawing the plug from the socket. Keep the cord away
from sharp edges and do not let it get pinched, for exam-
ple, under a door. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over
the cord. This could damage the cord, plug or socket. The
appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered
damage.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the power cord is
damaged. If the power cord is damaged it must be re-
placed together with the cord reel. For safety reasons this
must only be done by Miele Service or a Miele authorized
service technician.
Repairs should only be performed by an authorized ser-
vice agent in accordance with national and local safety
regulations. Unauthorized repairs could cause injury or ma-
chine damage. Otherwise the warranty may be void.
Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele-authorized
service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons can cause considerable danger to users.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance
when genuine Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components should only be replaced with genuine Miele
parts.

The packaging material protects the vacuum cleaner
from transport damage. We recommend you keep the
packaging for transport purposes.
Proper use
Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the dust con-
tainer, fine dust filter with filter mat, filter frame, pre-filter,
dust compartment seal, and exhaust filter.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug.
If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to
a service center.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and any-
thing that may reduce air flow.
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or
smoking, e.g., cigarettes, ashes or hot ash, whether glow-
ing or apparently extinguished.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water,
liquid or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or sham-
pooed rugs or carpets are completely dry before attempt-
ing to vacuum.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust.
Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers, can
conduct electricity.
Do not vacuum up any flammable or combustible liquids
or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such sub-
stances are stored.

Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction
get anywhere near a person's head.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all part of body
away from openings and moving parts.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Cleaning
Do not immerse the vacuum cleaner or any accessories
supplied with it in water.
Clean the vacuum cleaner and accessories only with a
dry cloth or slightly damp cloth and mild liquid dish soap.
Exception for fine dust filter:
If the dust filter is heavily soiled, you can rinse the ribbed
side of the filter and the filter mat under cold running water.
Do not use liquid dish soap or cleaning brushes. Do not
use any sharp or pointed objects. After cleaning, allow the
fine dust filter and the filter mat to dry in a well ventilated
room for a minimum of 24hours, placing the filter with the
pleated side facing up. Choose a well ventilated room.
Accessories
It is not advisable to vacuum directly with the handle,
i.e., without an accessory attached, as the rim could get
damaged and you could hurt yourself on sharp edges.
Only use genuine accessories with the “ORIGINAL
Miele” logo on the packaging. The manufacturer cannot
otherwise guarantee the safety of the product.
