Disposal of packing material

The packing material protects the

vacuum cleaner from transport

damage. The transport and protective

packing has been selected from

materials which are environmentally

friendly for disposal and can normally

be recycled.

Rather than just throwing these

materials away, please ensure they are

offered for recycling. Sort packing

materials for disposal according to the

type of material (e.g. plastics or

cardboard).

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.

Disposing of your old

appliance

Before disposing of your old appliance,

remove the dustbag and filter and

dispose of them with the 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 Miele Vacuum

Cleaner Specialist for advice.

Ensure that your old appliance presents

no danger to children while being

stored for disposal.

Description of the appliance

This appliance conforms to current safety

requirements. Improper use of the appliance can,

however, present a risk of both personal injury and

material damage.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the

appliance, please read these instructions carefully

before installation and before using it for the first time.

They contain important notes on installation, safety,

use 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 designed for domestic use

and for use in similar environments by guests in hotel

or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical

living quarters. This does not include common/shared

facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or

bed & breakfasts.

~This appliance is not suitable for outdoor use.

~This 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 at the owner's

risk and could be dangerous.

Warning and Safety instructions

~This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or

instruction concerning use of the appliance by a

person responsible for their safety.

Safety with children

~Supervise children whilst you are using the vacuum

cleaner. This vacuum cleaner is not a toy! To avoid the

risk of injury, keep children well away and do not allow

them to play with it or to use the controls.

~Older children may only use the appliance when its

operation has been clearly explained to them and they

are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of

misuse.

~Cleaning and maintenance work may only be carried

out by older children under the supervision of an adult.

~The batteries for the radio controls in the handle

must be kept out of the reach of children.

Technical safety

~Ensure that the connection data on the data plate

(voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity

supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the

risk of damage to the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions

~The wall socket must be protected against short

circuit by a delay fuse 16 A or 10 A.

~Before installation, check the appliance for visible

signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

~Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele

authorised service technician. Repairs and other work

by unqualified persons could be dangerous and will

invalidate the warranty. The manufacturer cannot be

held liable for unauthorised work.

~Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the mains cable is

damaged. If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced

together with a complete cable rewind. For safety

reasons, this must only be done by the Miele Service

Department or by a Miele authorised service technician.

~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

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

safety hazard.

~There is a metal inlay underneath the handle which is

designed to avoid the unpleasant effects of electrostatic

discharges. Please make sure that you keep your hand in

constant contact with this metal strip during vacuuming.

Warning and Safety instructions

~It is important to switch off the vacuum cleaner after

use, before changing any accessories and before any

cleaning or maintenance. Switch off at the wall socket

and remove the plug.

~Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with

a dry cloth, slightly damp cloth or suitable proprietary

cleaner when disconnected from the mains supply.

~While the vacuum cleaner is under warranty, repairs

should only be undertaken by a service technician

authorised by Miele. Repairs and other work by

unqualified persons could be dangerous. The

manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised

work.

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 a dustbag is not inserted, the dust compartment

cover cannot be closed. Do not force it.

~Do not vacuum up any liquids 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

~Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning

or is still glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, even if

apparently extinguished.

~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 handling the batteries from

the radio controls in the handle:

– Do not short circuit or recharge batteries, or throw

them into a fire. Danger of explosion!

– Disposing of batteries: Remove the batteries from the

handle and dispose of them at a local battery

recycling bin. Do not dispose of them with the normal

household waste.
