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.
