READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE
This vacuum cleaner complies with all current local and national
safety requirements. Improper use can lead to personal injury and
damage to property.
Please read the operating instructions before using the vacuum
cleaner for the first time. They contain important information on the
safety, use, and maintenance of the vacuum cleaner. This prevents
both personal injury and damage to the appliance.
Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the
instructions in the “Connection” chapter as well as the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by noncompliance with these instructions.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them
on to any future user.
Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power supply
when you have finished using it, before changing any accessories,
as well as for maintenance work, cleaning, and troubleshooting.
Remove the plug from the electrical socket.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The vacuum cleaner must only be used to vacuum dry floor sur-
faces. Do not vacuum people or animals. Any other types of use,
modifications, or alterations are not permitted.
Persons which lack physical, sensory or mental abilities or experi-
ence with the machine should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.
Safety with children
Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags,
etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.
Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Close atten-
tion is necessary when used near children.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
Check the voltage rating of the vacuum cleaner before connecting
the power cord to an electrical outlet. Your power source should correspond with the voltage rating plate located on the underside of the
vacuum. Use only household AC outlets. Never use DC power
sources. If you are not sure of your home’s voltage supply, consult a
qualified electrician. Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a higher voltage than indicated in these instructions may result in damage to the
vacuum cleaner or injury.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.
Technical safety
Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories, check for
any visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Compare the connection data on the data plate of the vacuum
cleaner (voltage and frequency) with that of the electricity supply.
This data must match exactly. Without modifications, the vacuum
cleaner is suited for 50Hz or 60Hz.
The electrical outlet must be rated at 15Amps.
Reliable and safe operation of this vacuum cleaner can only be
assured if it has been connected to the electricity supply.
Repairs should only be performed by an authorized service agent
in accordance with national and local safety regulations. Unauthorized repairs could cause injury or machine damage. Otherwise the
warranty may be void.
Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the power cord, and
be careful not to damage the cord when withdrawing the plug from
the socket. Keep the cord away from sharp edges and do not let it
get pinched, for example, under a door. Avoid running the vacuum
cleaner over the cord. This could damage the cord, plug or socket.
The appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered damage.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the power cord is damaged. If
the power cord is damaged it must be replaced together with the
cord reel. For safety reasons this must only be done by Miele Service
or a Miele authorized service technician.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with a dry cloth
or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from the electrical supply.
Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele-authorized service
technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons can cause
considerable danger to users.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when gen-
uine Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components should
only be replaced with genuine Miele parts.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Proper use
To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum cleaner with-
out the FilterBag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter in place.
The dust compartment cover will not close without a FilterBag in-
serted. Do not force it.
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or smoking,
e.g., cigarettes, ashes or hot ash, 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 flammable or combustible liquids or gases
and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored.
Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction get any-
where near a person's head.
Accessories
To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele turbo-
brush, 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 FilterBags, filters, and accessories bearing the “ORIGI-
NAL Miele” logo on the packaging. The manufacturer cannot otherwise guarantee the safety of the product.

Caring for the environment
Disposing of sales packaging
The packaging material protects the
vacuum cleaner from transport damage.
The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can
therefore be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material reduces the use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Make sure the packaging is disposed of in the proper manner for your
area.
Disposing of the FilterBags
and filters
Filterbags and filters are made from environmentally friendly materials, and can
be disposed of with the normal household waste, as long as they have been
used exclusively for general household
dust.
Disposing of your old appliance
Before disposing of your old appliance
remove the FilterBag and filters and dispose of them with your household
waste.
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances. By law,
you are solely responsible for deleting
any personal data from the appliance
prior to disposal. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored for disposal.
