
Ensure that the connection data on the data plate of the vacuum
cleaner (voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply
exactly. The vacuum cleaner is suitable for use with 50 Hz or 60 Hz
without modification.

The mains electrical plug must be fitted with an appropriate fuse.

AUS/NZ: The mains electrical outlet must be fitted with an appro-
priate circuit breaker.

Reliable and safe operation of this vacuum cleaner can only be as-
sured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

The socket on the vacuum cleaner (depending on model) must
only be used for the Miele Electrobrushes listed in these operating
instructions.

The Miele Electrobrush is a motor driven accessory for use only
with Miele vacuum cleaners. For safety reasons, the cleaner must
not be used with an Electrobrush produced by another manufacturer.

While the vacuum cleaner is under warranty, repairs should only
be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise
the warranty will be invalidated.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the cable is damaged. If the
cable is damaged it must be replaced together with a complete
cable rewind. For safety reasons this must only be done by Miele
Service or a Miele authorised service technician.

Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the cable, and be care-
ful not to damage the cable when withdrawing the plug from the
socket. Keep the cable away from sharp edges and do not let it get
squashed, for example, under a door. Avoid running the vacuum
cleaner over the cable. This could damage the cable, plug or socket.
The appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered dam-
age.
