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 cleaner. 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 only fit in a polarized outlet 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, the

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 the vacuum cleaner on

people or 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 strictly for

household use only.

~This vacuum cleaner should not be

used to entrap or retain any hazardous

materials.

~Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to

be used as a toy. Close attention is

necessary when used by or near

children.

~Do not use without dustbag and

filters in place. Otherwise it may be

damaged.

~If a dustbag is not inserted the dist

compartment lid will not close. Do not

force it shut.

~Do not leave the vacuum cleaner

plugged in. Unplug from the outlet

when not in use and before servicing.

~On the underside of the vacuum

cleaner handpiece is a metal insert

designed to absorb electrostatic

charge. Please make certain that your

hand remains around this metal insert.

~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.

~Unwind the cord completely to aid

the vacuum cleaner in dissipating heat.

~This vacuum cleaner 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 toner dust. Toner,

such as that used in printers and

photocopiers can conduct electricity.

~Do not use to pick up any flammable

or combustible liquids, such as

gasoline, or use in areas where they

may be present. The vacuum cleaner

could explode.

~Do not vacuum up 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

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.

~This appliance is equipped with a

power cord reel. Hold plug when

rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow

plug to whip when rewinding.

~Turn off all controls before

unplugging.

~Use extra care when cleaning on

stairs.

~Floor attachments, accessories and

wands must not be used at head level

to avoid injury to eyes and ears.

~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

~The hose and the wand contain

electrical wires. Do not use the vacuum

cleaner if these parts are damaged, cut

or punctured. Avoid picking up sharp

objects. Danger of electric shock!

~Unplug the vacuum cleaner when

changing accessories, especially the

Turbobrush, and Powerbrush.

To avoid the risk of injury when

vacuuming with a Miele Power or

Turbobrush do not touch the rotating

roller brush. Danger of injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~The socket on the vacuum cleaner

(depending on model) must only be

used for the Miele Powerbrush

specified for use with this appliance.

~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.

~Do not use the vacuum cleaner

without an accessory attached. The rim

could be damaged and injuries could

result from sharp edges.

~Miele dustbags are disposable and

intended to be used only once. Do not

attempt to reuse. An over stuffed

dustbag will reduce the efficiency of the

vacuum cleaner.

~Only use genuine Miele dustbags

with the Miele quality signet and

original Miele filters and accessories.

Only then will the manufacturer

guarantee its safety.

Cleaning, maintenance and

repairs

~Turn the vacuum cleaner off after

each use and before every cleaning /

maintenance. Pull the plug from the

outlet.

Never submerge the vacuum cleaner in

water. Clean only with a dry cloth or

slightly damp cloth when disconnected

from the mains supply. If moisture gets

into the appliance there is a risk of

electric shock.

~The electro-suction hose and the

wand contain electrical wires. The plug

connectors must not come in contact

with water. These items may only be

cleaned with a dry cloth, no moisture

can touch them. Danger of electric

shock.

~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".

~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.

~If the power cord is damaged it

should be replaced along with a new

cable reel 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.
