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. 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

qualified electrician. Connecting the

vacuum cleaner to a higher voltage

may result 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 outlet. Do not alter the

plug in any way.

~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.

~The electrical outlet must be fitted

with a 15 A fuse.

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. Use only Miele recommended

accessories described in this manual.

~This appliance is intended strictly for

household use only.

~Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to

be used as a toy. Close attention is

necessary when used near children.

~Never use the vacuum cleaner

without the dustbag or filters in place.

Otherwise, it could be damaged.

~If the dustbag is not inserted , the

dust compartment lid will not close. Do

not force it shut.

~Do not leave the vacuum plugged

in. Unplug it from the outlet when not in

use and before servicing.

~On the underside of the vacuum

hand piece is a metal insert designed

to absorb static electricity. Please make

certain that your hand remains around

this metal insert when vacuuming.

~Persons who lack physical, sensory,

or mental capabilities or experience

with the machine should not use it

without supervision or instruction by a

responsible person.

~Unwind the cord completely to aid

the vacuum in dissipating heat.

~This vacuum 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

could catch fire.

~Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,

such as that used in printers and

photocopiers can conduct electricity.

~Do not use the vacuum to pick up

any flammable or combustible liquids

such as gasoline or use in areas where

they may be present.

~Do not vacuum up 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 by pulling the cord.

To unplug grasp the plug, not the cord.

~Do not handle the plug or vacuum

with wet hands.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers,

and all parts of body away from

openings and moving parts.

~Do not place anything into the

openings of the vacuum. Do not use if

any openings are blocked; keep them

free of dust, lint, hair or anything that

may reduce air flow.

~To avoid risk of injury while

vacuuming, do not reach into the

moving beater bar of the Powerbrush.

Danger of injury.

~This appliance is equipped with a

power cord reel. Hold the plug when

rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow

plug to whip when rewinding.

~Turn off all controls before

unplugging.

~Use caution when vacuuming on

stairs.

~Floor attachments, accessories and

wands must not be used at head level

to avoid injuries to the eyes and ears.

Using accessories

~The socket on the vacuum cleaner is

only to be used with the Miele

Powerbrush.

~Unplug the vacuum when changing

accessories, especially when using the

Powerbrush.

~The Miele Powerbrush is a

motor-driven accessory for use only

with Miele vacuum cleaners. The

vacuum must not be used with another

manufacturer's Powerbrush.

~Do not use the vacuum without an

accessory attached. The rim could be

damaged and injuries could result from

sharp edges.

~Miele dustbags are disposable and

intended to be used only once. Do not

attempt to reuse them. An over stuffed

dustbag will reduce the efficiency of the

vacuum cleaner.

~Only use genuine Miele dustbags

with the Miele quality signet and

original Miele filters and accessories.

Only then will the manufacturer

guarantee its safety.

~Always turn off this appliance before

connecting or disconnecting motorized

nozzle.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

cloth or slightly damp cloth when

disconnected from the mains supply. If

moisture gets into the appliance there

is a risk of electrical shock.

~Monitor the dustbag change

indicator and inspect all filters regularly.

For best performance, the dustbag and

filters should be replaced when

necessary. A full bag or blocked filter

will reduce the vacuum cleaners'

suction power. A temperature limiter

automatically switches the vacuum

cleaner off if it gets too hot, see

"Maintenance and Care - What if the

vacuum turns off automatically?".

~Repairs during the warranty period

should only be performed by an

authorized service agent in accordance

with national and local safety

regulations. Unauthorized repairs could

cause injury or machine damage and

may void the warranty.

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
