Opening The Air Inlet Valve; While Vacuuming; Parking, Transport And Storage; Maintenance And Care - Miele SCAE0 Operating Instructions Manual

Opening the air inlet valve (see fig. 21)
The air inlet valve is designed to
provide a quick, convenient reduction
of suction power, e.g. when moving
from a carpet to an area rug.
^ Open the air inlet valve far enough to
reduce the power.
Opening the air inlet valve reduces the
power to the tool being used.
While vacuuming (see fig. 22)
The vacuum cleaner can also stand on
its end for vacuuming stairs, drapes etc.
,
To prevent static electricity your
hand must touch the metal inlay on
the underside of the vacuum
handpiece. Be certain to
continuously touch this inlay when
vacuuming fine dust, flour or
sawdust as these materials are
more likely to create a static
electricity. To further prevent static
discharge while vacuuming, pull the
vacuum along by the hose with one
hand while continuing to hold the
handpiece in the other hand.

Parking, transport and storage

Park-System (see fig. 23)
The Park-System allows you to park the
telescopic wand and the suction unit on
the vacuum cleaner during brief pauses.
^ Insert the parking clip attachment on
the suction unit into the parking slot
from above.
If the vacuum cleaner is on an
incline, e.g. a ramp, slide the tube
into the telescopic wand all the way.
Park-System for storage (see fig. 24)
,
Turn the vacuum cleaner off
after use. Remove the plug from the
electrical outlet.
^ Stand the vacuum cleaner vertically.
It is helpful to completely insert the
tubes into the telescopic wand.
^ Insert the parking clip attachment on
the suction unit into the Park-System
from above.
This makes the vacuum cleaner easier
to carry and store.

Maintenance and care

,
Turn off and unplug the vacuum
cleaner before performing any
maintenance work.
The Miele filter system consists of the
following three components.
– Filter bag
– Exhaust filter
– Dust compartment filter
Each of these components must be
changed periodically to maintain the
vacuum cleaner's efficiency.
Only use Miele filter bags, filters and
accessories with the "Original Miele"
logo. Only then can the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner reach
its optimum potential creating the
best possible cleaning results.
