en - Warning and Safety instructions
~
When vacuuming fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster,
flour, talcum powder etc., electrostatic charges build up
naturally. Under certain conditions these charges will be
released. To avoid the unpleasant effects of these
discharges, a metal inlay has been incorporated into the
underside of the handle. Please make sure that you keep
your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during
vacuuming.
~
Do not let the vacuum cleaner, the electro telescopic
suction tube or the electro suction hose get wet. Clean only
with a dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when disconnected
from the mains supply.
~
The Electrobrush, electro telescopic suction tube and
the electro suction hose contain electrical cables. The plug
connectors must not come in contact with water. Danger of
electric shock. They should only be cleaned with a dry
cloth.
~
Repairs should only be carried out on the vacuum
cleaner, the Electrobrush, the electro telescopic suction
tube and the electro suction hose by a Miele authorised
service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons can cause considerable danger to users.
