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
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 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 on 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.
~This appliance is intended 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. It
may be damaged.
~If a 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.
~Persons which lack physical,
sensory or mental abilities or
experience with the machine should not
use it without supervision or instruction
by a responsible person.
~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
cleaner could catch fire.
~Do not vacuum flammable or
combustible liquids, such as gasoline,
or use in areas where they may be
present.
~Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,
such as that used in printers and
photocopiers can conduct electricity.
~Do not vacuum 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Do not unplug by pulling on the
cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the
cord.
~Do not handle the plug or vacuum
cleaner with wet hands.
~Keep the power cord, hair, loose
clothing, fingers and all parts of the
body away from openings and moving
parts.
~Do not place anything into the
openings of the vacuum cleaner. Do
not use if any openings are blocked;
keep them free of dust, lint, hair, or
anything that may reduce air flow.
~Turn off all controls before
unplugging.
~Use extra care when cleaning on
stairs.
~Do not use a damaged vacuum
cleaner, especially with a damaged
cord. A damaged vacuum cleaner can
be dangerous.
~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 cleaner’s
suction power. A temperature limiter
automatically switches the vacuum
cleaner off if it gets too hot, see
“Frequently asked questions”.
Using accessories
~Unplug the vacuum cleaner when
changing accessories, especially the
Turbobrush and Powerbrush.
~Floor attachments, accessories and
wands must not be used at head level
to avoid injury to eyes and ears.
~The socket on the vacuum cleaner
(depending on model) must only be
used for the Miele Powerbrush
specified for use with this appliance.
~To avoid the risk of injury when
vacuuming with a Miele Power or
Turbobrush do not touch the rotating
roller brush. Danger of injury.
~Danger of injury. The Miele
Powerbrush is a motor driven
accessory for use only with Miele
vacuum cleaners. The vacuum cleaner
must not be used with another
manufacturer’s powerbrush.
~Miele dust bags are disposable and
intended to be used only once. Do not
attempt to reuse them. An overstuffed
dustbag will reduce the efficiency of the
vacuum cleaner.
~Only use genuine Miele dustbags
with the Miele quality signet and
original Miele filter and accessories.
Only then can the manufacturer
guarantee its safety.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning, maintenance and
repairs
~Turn the vacuum cleaner off after
each use and before every cleaning /
maintenance. Unplug the vacuum
cleaner from the outlet.
~Never submerge the vacuum
cleaner in water. Clean only with a dry
or slightly damp cloth when
disconnected from the power supply. If
moisture gets into the appliance there
is a risk of electric shock.
~Repairs may only be performed by
an authorized service agent in
accordance with national and local
safety regulations. Repairs by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous.
~A damaged power cord must only
be replaced with a genuine Miele cord
which can be obtained by Miele
technical service.
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.
