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 re-
pairs can cause considerable danger to users.

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
Correct use

Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction get any-
where 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 fit-
ted. Do not force it.

Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or is still
glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether glowing or apparently
extinguished.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water, liquid or
damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed rugs or car-
pets are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust. Toner, such
as that used in printers and photocopiers, can conduct electricity.

Do not vacuum up any inflammable or combustible liquids or
gases and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are
stored.
Accessories

To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele Electro-
brush or Turbobrush, do not touch the rotating roller brush.
