Warning and safety instructions
~
Repairs should only be carried out
by a Miele authorised service
technician. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for unauthorised work.
~
Do not pull or carry the vacuum
cleaner by the cable.
Keep the cable away from sharp edges
and do not let it be squashed, for
example, under a door.
Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over
the cable.
A damaged cable, plug or socket is a
safety hazard. The appliance must not
be used if any of these have suffered
damage.
~
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the
cable is damaged. A damaged cable
can endanger your safety.
~
If the cable is damaged, the
complete cable unit must be replaced.
For safety reasons, this must only be
done by the Miele Service Department
or a Miele authorised service
technician.
~
Switch the vacuum cleaner off,
switch off at the wall socket and remove
the plug before changing accessories.
~
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get
wet. Clean only with a dry cloth or
slightly damp cloth when disconnected
from the mains supply. If moisture gets
into the appliance, there is a risk of
electric shock.

Correct use
~
Never touch the PowerBrush roller
while it is rotating. Danger of injury.
~
To avoid the risk of damage, do not
use the vacuum cleaner without the
dustbag, dust compartment filter and
exhaust filter in place.
~
If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust
compartment cover does not normally
close. Do not force it.
~
Do not vacuum up any water, liquid
or damp dirt. This will cause major
faults and could seriously impair the
functioning and electrical safety of the
appliance. Wait until any freshly
cleaned or shampooed carpets or floor
coverings are completely dry before
attempting to vacuum.
~
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,
such as that used in printers and
photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
The filter system in the vacuum cleaner
may not filter it completely, causing the
toner to be blown back into the room by
the fan.
~
Do not vacuum up any inflammable
or combustible liquids or gases and do
not vacuum in areas where such
substances are stored. The cleaner
might explode.
CAUTION: This hose contains
electrical connections.
– Do not use to suck up water.
– Do not immerse in water for
cleaning.
– The hose should be checked
regularly and must not be used if
damaged.
