This vacuum cleaner complies with statutory safety
requirements. Improper use can, however, lead to
personal injury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the
vacuum cleaner, please read these instructions carefully
before using it for the first time. They contain important
information on its safety, operation and maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that
new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to
any future owner.
Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the mains
supply when you have finished using it, before changing
over accessories, as well as for maintenance work and
cleaning. Switch the vacuum cleaner off at the wall
socket and unplug it.
Correct application
~This vacuum cleaner is intended for cleaning flooring in
domestic households and similar residential environments.
~This floorhead can be used for all normal cleaning of
carpets, rugs and hard flooring which is not susceptible to
scratching.
~This vacuum cleaner is not intended for outdoor use.
en - Warning and Safety instructions
28
~The vacuum cleaner must only be used to vacuum dry
floor surfaces. Do not use on people or animals. Any other
usage, modification or alteration is not supported by the
manufacturer and could be dangerous.
~This vacuum cleaner can only be used by people with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience or knowledge, if they are supervised whilst
using it or have been shown how to use it in a safe way
and understand and recognise the consequences of
incorrect operation.
Safety with children
~Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from
the vacuum cleaner unless they are constantly supervised.
~Children 8 years and older may only use the vacuum
cleaner unsupervised if they have been shown how to use
it safely and recognise and understand the consequences
of incorrect operation.

29
Technical safety
~Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories,
check for any visible signs of damage. Do not use a
damaged appliance.
~Ensure that the connection data on the data plate of the
vacuum cleaner (voltage and frequency) match the mains
electricity supply exactly.
~The mains electrical plug must be fitted with a 13 A fuse
(UK).
~While the vacuum cleaner is under guarantee, repairs
should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service
technician. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.
~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
get squashed, for example, under a door.
Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over the cable. This
could damage the cable, plug or socket. The appliance
must not be used if any of these have suffered damage.
~Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the cable is damaged.
If the cable is damaged it must be replaced together with a
complete cable rewind. For safety reasons this work must
be done by the Miele Service Department or a Miele
authorised service technician.
~The socket on the vacuum cleaner (depending on
model) must only be used for the Miele Electrobrush listed
in these operating instructions.
en - Warning and Safety instructions
30
~When vacuuming fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster,
flour, talcum powder etc., electrostatic charges build up
naturally. Under certain conditions these charges will be
released. To avoid the unpleasant effects of these
discharges, a metal inlay has been incorporated into the
underside of the handle. Please make sure that you keep
your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during
vacuuming.
~Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with a
dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from
the mains supply.
~Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorised
service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons can cause considerable danger to users.
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.
~The dust compartment cover will not close without a
dustbag fitted. Do not force it.
~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 carpets or floor coverings are completely dry
before attempting to vacuum.
en - Warning and Safety instructions
31
~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 inflammable or combustible
liquids or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such
substances are stored.
~Floor attachments, accessories and tubes must not be
used at head level to avoid the risk of injury, e.g. to eyes
and ears.
~Important information on the handling of batteries (for
models with radio controls on the handle):
–Do not short circuit or recharge the battery, or throw it
into a fire.
–Disposing of the battery: Remove the battery from the
radio control handle and dispose of it in your recycling
bin. Do not dispose of it with the normal household
waste.
Accessories
~To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele
Electrobrush or Turbobrush, do not touch the rotating roller
brush.
~The Miele Electrobrush is a motor driven accessory for
use only with Miele vacuum cleaners. The cleaner must not
be used with an electrobrush produced by another
manufacturer.
en - Warning and Safety instructions
32
~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 dustbags, filters and accessories with
the "Original Miele" logo on them. Otherwise the
manufacturer cannot guarantee the safety of the product.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by
incorrect use or operation or by non-compliance with
these Warning and Safety instructions.
