~
The dust compartment cover will not close without a dustbag
fitted. Do not force it.
~
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning e.g.
cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether still glowing or apparently
extinguished.
~
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to 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 use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust. Toner,
such as that used in printers and photocopiers, can conduct
electricity.
~
Do not vacuum up any inflammable or combustible liquids 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.
~
Important information on the handling of batteries:
– Do not short circuit or recharge batteries or throw them into a fire.
– Disposing of batteries: Remove the batteries from the LED handle
and dispose of them in your recycling bin. Do not dispose of them
with the normal household waste.
Accessories
~
To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele
Turbobrush, do not touch the rotating roller brush.
~
It is not advisable to vacuum directly with the handle, i.e. without
an accessory attached as the rim could get damaged and you could
hurt yourself on sharp edges.
