Disposal of packing material

The packaging is designed to protect

the vacuum cleaner from damage

during transportation. The packaging

materials used are selected from

materials which are environmentally

friendly for disposal and should be

recycled. Recycling the packaging

reduces the use of raw materials in the

manufacturing process and also

reduces the amount of waste in landfill

sites.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

bags, etc. are disposed of safely and

kept out of the reach of babies and

young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of the dustbag and

filters

These are made from environmentally

friendly materials. The filters can be

disposed of with the normal household

waste. The dustbag can also be

disposed of in this way if it has been

used exclusively for general household

dust.

Disposing 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 valuable materials. They

also 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.

Guide to the appliance

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. 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 in a safe way and recognise and understand the

consequences of incorrect operation.

Safety with children

~Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the

appliance unless they are constantly supervised.

Warning and Safety instructions

~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.

Technical safety

~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).

~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 Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise

the guarantee will be invalidated.

~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.

~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 vacuum cleaner must not be

used if any of these have sustained damage. A damaged cable,

plug or socket is a safety hazard.

Warning and Safety instructions

~Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the cable is damaged. If the

cable is damaged the complete cable unit must be replaced. For

safety reasons this work must be done by the Miele Service

Department or a Miele authorised service technician.

~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.

Correct use

~Never touch the roller brush while it is rotating.

~Do not use the Electrobrush at head level.

~Do not use the suction hose or telescopic tube at head level to

avoid the risk of injury, e.g. to eyes and ears.

~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 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.

~Do not vacuum up any inflammable or combustible matter or

gases and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are

stored.

Warning and Safety instructions

~Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or is still

glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether glowing or

apparently extinguished.

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 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.
