described in this manual.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury:
Do not use the vacuum outdoors or
~
on wet surfaces.
Check the voltage rating of the
~
power-brush before connecting it to the
vacuum cleaner. Your power supply
should correspond to the voltage rating
listed on the data plate of both the
powerbrush and the vacuum cleaner.
Use only AC outlets. Connecting the
vacuum or powerbrush to a higher
voltage than indicated on the data plate
will damage the powerbrush and may
result in personal injury.
Do not leave the appliance when
~
plugged in. Unplug it from the outlet
when not in use and before servicing.
The accessories are designed for
~
direct connection to Miele vacuum
cleaners ONLY. Do not use extension
cords, modify the plugs, or attempt to
connect any of the accessories to a
non-Miele vacuum cleaner. Doing so
could damage the powerbrush or other
accessories and cause personal injury.
Only dry dirt should be vacuumed
~
with these Accessoires.
The powerbrush, electric wands and
~
electric hoses are not toys. Do not allow
children to play with them, and pay
close attention if they are used on or
around children.
If the appliances are not working
~
correctly, have been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or immersed in
water, do not use them. Bring them to
your Miele dealer for servicing.
Do not run the powerbrush over the
~
vacuum cleaner cord or extension
cords, and keep it away from heated
surfaces.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not handle the appliance with
~
wet hands.
Turn off all controls before
~
unplugging the vacuum or powerbrush.
Do not use the powerbrush to
~
vacuum anything that may damage the
rollers. Nails, safety pins, buttons, etc.
should not be vacuumed.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers
~
and all parts of the body away from any
openings or moving parts, and never
touch a rotating roller brush.
Use extra care when vacuuming
~
while on stairs.

~
flammable or combustible liquids, such
as gasoline, or use it in areas where
fumes may be present.

~
burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
The vacuum and accessories
~
should only be cleaned when
disconnected from the power supply.
Use a dry or slightly damp cloth ONLY.
Never submerse the vacuum or
accessories in water or use a dripping
wet rag.
The powerbrush will shut off
~
automatically if the rollers are
prevented from turning; for example if a
large object has been vacuumed.
Should this occur, unplug the vacuum
cleaner before correcting the problem.
Allow2-3minutes for this safety
feature to reset itself before restarting
the vacuum.
Use only Miele attachments and
~
accessories. Use of non-Miele
