Technical safety
Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories,
check for any visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
Ensure that the connection data on the data plate of the
vacuum cleaner (voltage and frequency) match the mains
electricity supply exactly. The vacuum cleaner is suitable
for use with 50 Hz or 60 Hz without modification.
The mains electrical plug must be fitted with an appro-
priate fuse.
Reliable and safe operation of this vacuum cleaner can
only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
While the vacuum cleaner is under guarantee, repairs
should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service
technician. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.
Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the cable,
and be careful not to damage the cable when withdrawing
the plug from the socket. Keep the cable away from sharp
edges and do not let it get squashed, for example, under a
door. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over the cable.
This could damage the cable, plug or socket. The appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered damage.
33
en - Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the cable is damaged.
If the cable is damaged it must be replaced together with a
complete cable rewind. For safety reasons this work must
be done by the Miele Service Department or a Miele authorised service technician.
When vacuuming, in particular 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 get wet. Clean only with a
dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from
the mains supply.
Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorised
service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons can cause considerable danger to users.
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.
The dust compartment cover will not close without a
dustbag fitted. Do not force it.
34
en - Warning and Safety instructions
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 use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water,
liquid or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed rugs or carpets 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 li-
quids or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such
substances are stored.

models with radio controls on the handle):
– Do not short circuit or recharge the battery, or throw it
into a fire.
– Disposing of the battery: Remove the battery from the
radio control handle and dispose of it in a designated recycling bin for batteries. Do not dispose of it 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.
Only use genuine dustbags, filters and accessories with
the "Original Miele" logo on them. Otherwise the manufacturer cannot guarantee the safety of the product.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect use or operation or by non-compliance with these
