IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLI-

ANCE

This vacuum cleaner complies with current safety requirements.

Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and dam-

age to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the vacuum cleaner,

please read the operating instructions carefully before using it for

the first time. They contain important information on its safety, op-

eration and maintenance.

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them

on to any future user.

Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power supply

when you have finished using it, before changing any accessories,

as well as for maintenance work and cleaning. Turn the vacuum

cleaner off and unplug it.

Correct use

 This vacuum cleaner is intended for cleaning flooring in domestic

households and similar residential environments.

 This vacuum cleaner can be used for all normal cleaning of car-

pets, rugs and hard flooring.

 This vacuum cleaner is not intended for outdoor use.

 The vacuum cleaner must only be used to vacuum dry floor sur-

faces. Do not use on people and animals. Any other usage, modifi-

cation or alteration is not supported by the manufacturer and could

be dangerous.

 Persons which lack physical, sensory or mental abilities or experi-

ence with the machine should not use it without supervision or in-

struction by a responsible person.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety with children

 Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags,

etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.

 Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Close atten-

tion is necessary when used near children.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

 Check the voltage rating of the vacuum cleaner before connecting

the power cord to an electrical outlet. Your power source should cor-

respond 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 volt-

age than indicated in these instructions 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 polar-

ized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, re-

verse 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.

Technical safety

 Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories, check for

any visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

 Ensure that the connection data on the data plate of the vacuum

cleaner (voltage and frequency) match the household power supply.

Without modifications, the vacuum cleaner is suited for 50Hz or

60Hz.

 The electrical outlet must be fitted with a 15A fuse.

 Reliable and safe operation of this vacuum cleaner can only be

assured if it has been connected to the electricity supply.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 The socket on the vacuum cleaner (depending on model) must

only be used for the Miele Powerbrushes listed in these operating in-

structions.

 The Miele Powerbrush is a motor driven accessory for use only

with Miele vacuum cleaners. For safety reasons, the vacuum cleaner

must not be used with an Powerbrush produced by another manu-

facturer.

 Repairs must only be performed by an authorized service agent in

accordance with national and local safety regulations. Unauthorized

repairs could cause injury or machine damage. Otherwise the war-

ranty will be void.

 Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the power cord, and

be careful not to damage the cord when withdrawing the plug from

the socket. Keep the cord away from sharp edges and do not let it

get pinched, for example, under a door. Avoid running the vacuum

cleaner over the cord. This could damage the cord, plug or socket.

The appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered dam-

age.

 Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the power cord is damaged. If

the power cord is damaged it must be replaced together with the

cord reel. For safety reasons this must only be done by Miele Techni-

cal Service or a Miele authorized service technician.

 When vacuuming fine dust, e.g., sawdust, sand, plaster, flour, tal-

cum powder, etc., electrostatic charges build up naturally. Under

certain conditions these charges will be released. To avoid the un-

pleasant effects of these discharges, a metal inlay has been incorpo-

rated into the underside of the handle. Please make sure that you

keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during vacu-

uming.

 Do not allow the vacuum cleaner or Electrobrush, electric wand or

electric hose to get wet. Clean only with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

If any moisture gets into the appliance, danger of electric shock.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 The Electrobrush, electric wand and electric hose contain power

cords. The plug connectors must not come in contact with water.

Danger of electric shock. They should only be cleaned with a dry

cloth.

 Repairs should only be carried out on the vacuum cleaner, the

Electrobrush, the electric wand and the electric hose by a Miele-au-

thorized service technician. Repairs by unqualified persons can

cause considerable danger to users.

 Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts

only. Only with these parts can safety of the appliance be assured as

intended by the manufacturer.

Proper use

 To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum cleaner with-

out the FilterBag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter in place.

 The dust compartment cover will not close without a FilterBag in-

serted. Do not force it.

 Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or smoking,

e.g., cigarettes, ashes or hot ash, whether glowing or apparently ex-

tinguished.

 Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water, liquid or

damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed rugs or car-

pets are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.

 Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust. Toner, such

as that used in printers and photocopiers, can conduct electricity.

 Do not vacuum up any flammable or combustible liquids or gases

and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored.

 Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction get any-

where near a person's head.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Accessories

 To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele Power-

brush 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 FilterBags, filters and accessories with the

“Original Miele” logo on them. Otherwise the manufacturer cannot

guarantee the safety of the product.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mate-

rial

The cardboard box and packing materi-

als protect the appliance during ship-

ping. They have been designed to be

biodegradable and recyclable.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

bags, etc. are disposed of safely and

kept out of the reach of children. Dan-

ger of suffocation!

Disposing of the FilterBags

and filters

Filterbags and filters are made from en-

vironmentally friendly materials, and can

be disposed of with the normal house-

hold waste, as long as they have been

used exclusively for general household

dust.

Disposing of your old appli-

ance

Before disposing of your old appliance

remove the FilterBag and filters and dis-

pose of them with your household

waste.

Electronic and electrical appliances

contain many valuable materials. They

also contain certain materials, com-

pounds and components which were

essential for their correct functioning

and safety. These could be hazardous

to your health and to the environment if

disposed of with general waste or if

handled incorrectly. Please do not,

therefore, dispose of your old appliance

with general waste.

Instead, please make use of officially

designated collection and disposal

points to dispose of and recycle electri-

cal and electronic appliances. By law,

you are solely responsible for deleting

any personal data from the appliance

prior to disposal. Please ensure that

your old appliance poses no risk to chil-

dren while being stored for disposal.

Disposal of old batteries and

power packs

Electrical and electronic appliances of-

ten contain batteries and power packs

which must not go into household

waste after use. Please remove all ac-

cessible batteries and take them to a

suitable collection site where they can

be collected free of charge. Batteries

and power packs may contain sub-

stances which are harmful to your

health and the environment.

The labeling on the battery or power

pack gives further information. The

crossed-out waste bin means that you

must never put batteries and power

packs into household waste. If the

crossed-out waste bin has one or more

of the listed chemical symbols, it con-

tains lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and/or

mercury (Hg).

Old batteries and power packs contain

important raw materials and can be re-

cycled. Separately collecting old batter-

ies and power packs facilitates handling

and recycling.
