Using Accessories - Miele S 858 Operating Instructions Manual

Warning and Safety instructions

Using accessories

To avoid the risk of injury when
vacuuming with a Miele Electro- or
Turbobrush do not touch the rotating
roller brush.
The Miele Electrobrush is a motor
driven accessory appliance for use
only with Miele vacuum cleaners. The
cleaner must not be used with an
electrobrush produced by another
manufacturer.
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 dustbags
are disposable and intended to be
used only once. Do not attempt to
re-use. Blocked pores reduce the
efficiency of the cleaner.
Use only Miele approved
dustbags, filters and accessories.
This will ensure optimum performance
of the vacuum cleaner throughout its
life.
Cleaning, maintenance and
repairs
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the mains supply
when you have finished using it, as well
as for maintenance work and cleaning.
Switch off at the wall socket and
remove the plug. Pull on the plug and
not the cable.

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 an
electric shock.
The electro-suction hose and the
electro-telescopic tube contain
electrical wires. The plug connectors
must not come in contact with water. Do
not attempt to clean them with a damp
cloth. Danger of electric shock.
Repairs may only be carried out by
a suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with national and
local safety regulations. Repairs and
other work by unqualified persons could
be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for unauthorised work.
If the cable is damaged it should
be replaced together with a
complete cable rewind by a Miele ser-
vice technician.
Disposing of an old appliance
When disposing of an old
appliance cut the cable off the
appliance as close to the cleaner as
possible and cut the plug off. The plug
cut from the cable should be rendered
useless and then disposed of and on
no account be inserted into any socket
elsewhere in the house (electric shock
hazard). Dispose of the appliance in a
responsible manner.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
