Using Accessories - Miele ART Operating Instructions Manual

Warning and safety instructions

Using accessories

Miele vacuum cleaner dustbags
are disposable and intended to be
used only once. Do not attempt to
re-use. Blocked pores reduce the
efficiency of the cleaner.
Use only genuine Miele dustbags,
filters and accessories. This will
ensure optimum performance of the
vacuum cleaner throughout its life.
Cleaning, maintenance and
repairs
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the mains supply
when you have finished using it, as well
as for maintenance work and cleaning.
Switch off at the wall socket and
remove the plug. Pull on the plug and
not the cable.
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 the risk of an
electric shock.
Repairs should only be carried out
by a suitably qualified and
competent person in accordance with
national and local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.
A damaged cable must only be
replaced with a genuine Miele
cable.

In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
Disposing of an old appliance
When disposing of an old
appliance cut the cable off the
appliance as close to the cleaner as
possible and cut the plug off. The old
plug should be rendered useless and
then disposed of and on no account be
inserted into any socket elsewhere in
the house (electric shock hazard).
Dispose of the appliance in a
responsible manner.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and safety instructions.
