Disposal of packing material

The packaging is designed to protect

the vacuum cleaner from damage

during transportation. The packaging

materials used are selected from

materials which are environmentally

friendly for disposal and recyclable.

Recycling the packaging reduces the

use of raw materials in the

manufacturing process and also

reduces the amount of waste in landfill

sites. Please dispose of it in your

recycling bins.

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

Before disposing of your old appliance

remove the dustbag and all the filters

and dispose of them with your normal

household waste.

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 dispose of it with your

household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection/recycling

centre, or contact your dealer for

advice.

Ensure that it presents no danger to

children while being stored for

disposal.

Description of the appliance

This appliance meets statutory

safety requirements. Improper use

can, however, lead to personal injury

and damage to property.

damage to the vacuum cleaner,

please read these instructions

carefully before using it for the first

time. They contain important

information on its safety, operation

and maintenance.

for maintenance work and cleaning.

Switch it off at the wall socket and

unplug it.

use by people 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

correctly by a person responsible for

their safety.

Safety with children

avoid the risk of injury, keep children

well away, and do not allow them to

play with it or to use the controls.

Warning and Safety instructions

~While the vacuum cleaner is under

undertaken by a service technician

authorised by Miele. Otherwise the

guarantee will be invalidated.

~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 get squashed, for expample,

under a door.

Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over

the cable.

A damaged cable, plug or socket is a

safety hazard.

~Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the

Correct use

~Floor attachments, accessories and

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

ears.

~To avoid the risk of damage, do not

use the vacuum cleaner without the
