Technical safety
Charge the robot vacuum cleaner at an ambient temperature

between 10 °C and 45 °C.
The battery and the base station are designed for use with this

Miele robot vacuum cleaner. For safety reasons, the robot vacuum
cleaner must not be used with a battery or base station produced by
another manufacturer.
Only use the parts supplied for charging the robot vacuum cleaner

(base station, power supply unit, power adapter).
Reliable and safe operation of this robot vacuum cleaner can only

be assured if the base station has been connected to the mains
electricity supply.
Do not attach any adhesive labels to the front of the base station

as this conceals an infrared transmitter. Do not place any items in
front of it.
Stop using the rechargeable battery immediately if you notice an

unusual smell from it, if liquid is leaking from it, if it is significantly
overheating or if it is discoloured or deformed. Dispose of the battery
immediately (see safety note "Disposing of the battery" at the end of
this section as well as "Caring for the environment" – "Disposing of
old batteries").
Batteries and rechargeable batteries will deplete over time. They

can then leak corrosive fluids. Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
In the event of contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical
advice.
AUS/NZ: To deal with leaking batteries, refer to the Safety Data

Sheet (contact Miele to request a copy).
Please contact Miele Customer Service Department before send-

ing the rechargeable battery.
