Cleaning And Care - Miele S 500 Operating Instructions Manual

Cleaning and care

,
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electricity supply
for maintenance work and for clean-
ing. Switch off at the wall socket and
remove the plug (pull on the plug,
not the cable).
Vacuum cleaner and accessories
External surfaces of the vacuum
cleaner and of the accessories can be
cleaned with a dry cloth or a slightly
damp cloth or with a proprietary
cleaner suitable for plastic.
,
Do not use an abrasive cleaner,
a glass cleaner or an all-purpose
cleaner. Because of their chemical
composition they could cause seri-
ous damage to the plastic casing.
Dust compartment
The dust compartment can, if neces-
sary, be cleaned using a dry duster,
dusting brush or, if available, a second
vacuum cleaner to suck the dust out.
Monitor the change dustbag indicator
and inspect all filters regularly. Clean or
replace them when necessary accord-
ing to the operating instructions.
,
Never dip the vacuum cleaner in
water. If moisture gets into the appli-
ance there is the risk of an electric
shock.
