Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction get any-
where near a person's head.
Accessories

It is not advisable to vacuum directly with the handle, i.e. without
an accessory attached as the rim could get damaged and you could
hurt yourself on sharp edges.

Only use genuine dustbags, filters and accessories with the "ORI-
GINAL Miele" logo on them. Otherwise the manufacturer cannot
guarantee the safety of the product.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect use or
operation or by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety in-
structions.
