Disposing of sales packaging
The packaging material protects the
vacuum cleaner from transport damage.
We recommend you keep the packag-
ing for transport purposes.
The packaging materials used are se-
lected from materials which are environ-
mentally friendly for disposal and can
therefore be recycled. Recycling the
packaging material reduces the use of
raw materials in the manufacturing
process and also reduces the amount
of waste in landfill sites. Make sure the
packaging is disposed of in the proper
manner for your area.

Disposal of your old appliance
Before disposing of your old appliance,
remove the fine dust filter and dispose
of it with your household waste.
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which are essential for
the proper functioning and safe use of
the equipment. Handling these materi-
als improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. There-
fore, please do not dispose of your old
appliance with your regular household
waste.
Instead, use the official collection and
disposal points provided by local au-
thorities, dealers or Miele, in order to
dispose of and recycle electrical and
electronic appliances. You are legally
responsible for deleting any personal
data on the old appliance you wish to
dispose of. Please ensure that your old
appliance is kept away from children
until removal.
