en - Warning and Safety instructions
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 mains electrical plug must be fitted with a 13 A fuse (UK).
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.
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.

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 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.
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 carpets or floor coverings are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.

en - Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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 Warning and Safety instructions.
