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 new
users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any
future owner.
Correct application
~This vacuum cleaner is not designed for commercial
use. It is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
~The vacuum cleaner is not intended for outdoor use.
~The vacuum cleaner must only be used for domestic
household purposes 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 appliance 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 recognise and understand the consequences of
incorrect operation.
en - Warning and Safety instructions
29
Safety with children
~Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from
the appliance 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 in a safe way and recognise and understand the
consequences of incorrect operation.
~Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the
appliance unsupervised.
~Please supervise children in the vicinity of the vacuum
cleaner and do not let them play with it.
~Models with radio controls on the handle: Keep batteries
out of the reach of children.
Technical safety
~Before using the vacuum cleaner, check for any visible
signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
~Ensure that the connection data on the data plate
(voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply
exactly
~The 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.
en - Warning and Safety instructions
30
~Do not pull or carry the appliance 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. The appliance
must not be used if any of these have suffered damage. A
damaged cable, plug or socket is a safety hazard.
~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
specified for use with this appliance.
~When vacuuming especially 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.
en - Warning and Safety instructions
31
~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.
~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.
~If the dustbag is not fitted correctly, the dust compartment
cover does not normally close. 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 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.
~Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner, such as that used in
printers and photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
en - Warning and Safety instructions
32
~Do not vacuum up any inflammable or combustible
matter 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 batteries: 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.
~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, accessories and
optional accessories with the "Original Miele" logo on them.
This will ensure optimum performance of the appliance
throughout its life.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by
incorrect use or operation or by non-compliance with
these Warning and Safety instructions.
