Disposal of packing material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and should be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

bags etc. are disposed of safely and

kept out of reach of babies and young

children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of the dustbag and

filters

These are made from environmentally

friendly materials, and can be disposed

of with the normal household waste, as

long as they have been used

exclusively for general household dust.

The dustbag should only be disposed

of in this way if it has been used

exclusively for general household dust.

Disposal of your old appliance

Before disposing of your old appliance

remove the dustbag and all the filters

and dispose of them with your normal

household waste.

Electrical and electronic appliances

often contain materials which, if

handled or disposed of incorrectly,

could be potentially hazardous to

human health and to the environment.

They are, however, essential for the

correct functioning of your appliance.

Please do not therefore dispose of it

with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection/recycling

centre, or contact your dealer for

advice.

Ensure that it presents no danger to

children while being stored for

disposal.

Description of the appliance

This vacuum cleaner meets statutory safety

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

to any future owner.

Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the

mains electricity supply when you have finished using

it, as well as for maintenance work and cleaning.

Switch it off at the wall socket and unplug it.

household purposes to vacuum dry floor surfaces. It

must not be used on people or animals. Any other use,

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

correctly by a person responsible for their safety.

Safety with children

~This vacuum cleaner is not a toy! To prevent the risk

of injury, do not let children play with the appliance or

its controls.

~Children aged eight years and older may use the

involved.

~The plug must be fitted with a 13 A fuse (UK).

~Before using the vacuum cleaner, check for any

visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged

appliance.

~While the vacuum cleaner is under guarantee,

repairs should only be undertaken by a service

technician authorised by Miele. Otherwise the

guarantee will be invalidated.

~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 and pose a
