en - Warning and Safety instructions

Repairs should only be carried out on the vacuum
cleaner, the Electrobrush, the telescopic suction tube and
the suction hose by a Miele-authorised service technician.
Unauthorised or incorrect repairs can cause considerable
danger to users.

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance
when genuine Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components must only be replaced with genuine Miele re-
placement parts.
Correct use

Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction
get anywhere near a person's head.

To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum
cleaner without the dustbag, dust compartment filter and
exhaust filter in place.

The dust compartment cover will not close without a
dustbag fitted. Do not force it.

Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or
is still glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether glow-
ing or apparently extinguished.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water,
liquid or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or sham-
pooed rugs or carpets are completely dry before attempt-
ing to vacuum.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust.
Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers, can
conduct electricity.
