Disposal of packing material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic, wrappings,

bags etc. are disposed of safely and

kept out of the reach of babies and

young children. Danger of suffocation.

Rather than just throwing these

materials away, please recycle them.

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.

Disposal of your old appliance

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 and ensure that it presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

Guide to the appliance

This vacuum cleaner meets statutory

safety requirements. Improper use

can, however, lead to personal injury

and material damage.

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the vacuum cleaner,

read these instructions carefully

before using it for the first time. They

contain important notes on its safety,

operation 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.

Always disconnect the vacuum

cleaner from the mains supply when

you have finished using it, as well as

for maintenance work and cleaning.

Switch it off at the wall socket and

unplug it.

Correct application

~This vacuum cleaner must only be

used for domestic household purposes

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.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable

for damage resulting from improper or

incorrect use of the appliance.

~This appliance is not intended for

use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of

experience or knowledge, unless they

are supervised whilst using it or have

been shown how to use it by a person

responsible for their safety.

Safety with children

~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.

Supervise children whilst you are using

it.

~Older children may only use the

vacuum cleaner if its operation has

been clearly explained to them, and

they are able to use it safely,

recognising the dangers of incorrect

use.

Technical safety

~Ensure that the connection data on

the data plate (voltage and frequency)

match the mains electricity supply. It is

essential that they match to avoid

damage to the appliance.

~The plug must be fitted with a 13 A

fuse (UK).

~Before using the vacuum cleaner,

check for any signs of damage. Do not

use a damaged appliance: it could be

dangerous.

Warning and Safety instructions

~The electro suction hose and the

electro telescopic tube contain

electrical wires. Do not use the vacuum

cleaner if these parts show any sign of

damage. Danger of electric shock.

~The Miele Electrobrush is a motor

driven accessory for use only with Miele

vacuum cleaners. The cleaner must not

be used with an electrobrush produced

by another manufacturer.

~The socket on the vacuum cleaner

must only be used for the Miele

Electrobrush specified for use with this

appliance.

~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.

~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. The

appliance must not be used if any of

these have suffered damage.

~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 a Miele authorised ser-

vice technician.

~While the vacuum cleaner is under

guarantee, repairs should only be

undertaken by a service technician

authorised by Miele. Otherwise the

guarantee will be invalidated.

~Repairs should only be carried out

by a Miele authorised service

technician. Repairs and other work by

unqualified persons could be

dangerous. The manufacturer cannot

be held liable for unauthorised work.

~It is important to switch the vacuum

cleaner off before changing over

accessories and floorheads, especially

an Electro- or Turbobrush.

~Do not let the vacuum cleaner get

wet. 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

electro telescopic tube contain

electrical wires. The plug connectors

must not come in contact with water.

Danger of electric shock. They should

only be cleaned with a dry cloth.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

~To avoid the risk of injury when

vacuuming with a Miele Electrobrush or

Turbobrush, do not touch the rotating

roller brush.

~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 does not normally

close. Do not force it.

~Do not vacuum up anything which

has been burning or is still glowing e.g.

cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether

glowing or apparently extinguished.

The cleaner might catch fire.

~Do not vacuum up any water, liquid

or damp dirt. This will cause major

faults and could seriously impair the

functioning and electrical safety of the

appliance. 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.

The filter system in the vacuum cleaner

may not filter it completely, causing the

toner to be blown back into the room by

the fan.

~Do not vacuum up any inflammable

or combustible liquids or gases and do

not vacuum in areas where such

substances are stored. The cleaner

might explode.

~Do not vacuum up items which are

heavy, hard or have sharp edges. The

vacuum cleaner and electro suction

hose can become blocked and

damaged.

~Floor attachments, accessories and

tubes must not be used at head level to

avoid the risk of injury, e.g. to eyes and

ears.

~Monitor the change dustbag

indicator and change the dustbag if

necessary. Check the exhaust and dust

compartment filters at the same time

and change them too if necessary. A

full bag or blocked filter will reduce the

suction power of the cleaner. A

temperature limiter switches the

vacuum cleaner off automatically if it

gets too hot. See "Problem solving

guide".

Warning and Safety instructions

Accessories

Miele accessories including

floorheads, filters and dustbags are

available to order from your Miele

retailer, the Miele Spare Parts

Department or via the internet on

www.miele-shop.com.

~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.

~Miele vacuum cleaner bags are

disposable and intended to be used

only once. Do not attempt to re-use.

Blocked pores reduce the efficiency of

the cleaner.

~To ensure safety only use genuine

Miele dustbags, filters and accessories.

This will ensure optimum performance

of the appliance throughout its life.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by

non-compliance with these Warning

and Safety instructions.

hose

^Insert the hose connector into the

socket until it clicks into position.

Removing the electro suction
