Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorised
service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.
Correct use
~
To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum
cleaner without the dustbag, dust compartment filter and
exhaust filter in place.
~
If the dustbag is not fitted correctly, the dust
compartment cover does not normally close. Do not force it.
~
Do not vacuum up any water, liquid or damp dirt. 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.
~
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 vacuum up any inflammable or combustible
matter or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such
substances are stored.
~
Floor attachments, accessories and tubes must not be
used at head level to avoid the risk of injury, e.g. to eyes
and ears.
