IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The socket on the vacuum cleaner (depending on model) must
only be used for the Miele Powerbrushes listed in these operating in-
structions.

The Miele Powerbrush is a motor driven accessory for use only
with Miele vacuum cleaners. For safety reasons, the vacuum cleaner
must not be used with an Powerbrush produced by another manu-
facturer.

Repairs must only be performed by an authorized service agent in
accordance with national and local safety regulations. Unauthorized
repairs could cause injury or machine damage. Otherwise the war-
ranty will be void.

Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the power cord, and
be careful not to damage the cord when withdrawing the plug from
the socket. Keep the cord away from sharp edges and do not let it
get pinched, for example, under a door. Avoid running the vacuum
cleaner over the cord. This could damage the cord, plug or socket.
The appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered dam-
age.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the power cord is damaged. If
the power cord is damaged it must be replaced together with the
cord reel. For safety reasons this must only be done by Miele Techni-
cal Service or a Miele authorized service technician.

When vacuuming fine dust, e.g., sawdust, sand, plaster, flour, tal-
cum powder, etc., electrostatic charges build up naturally. Under
certain conditions these charges will be released. To avoid the un-
pleasant effects of these discharges, a metal inlay has been incorpo-
rated into the underside of the handle. Please make sure that you
keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during vacu-
uming.

Do not allow the vacuum cleaner or Electrobrush, electric wand or
electric hose to get wet. Clean only with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
If any moisture gets into the appliance, danger of electric shock.
