Only Miele FilterBags, filters and accessories with the "Original Miele" logo can be used with this vacuum. Only then can the suction power of the vacuum cleaner reach its optimum potential creating the best possible cleaning results.
USE OF NON-MIELE COMPONENTS MAY VOID THE WARRANTY.
The use of FilterBags made of paper or a similar material, or FilterBags with a cardboard retaining plate can lead to serious damage to the vacuum cleaner and may void the warranty, just as with the use of FilterBags without the "Original Miele" logo.
The "Original Miele" Logo will appear on the packaging or directly on the FilterBag.
Purchasing new FilterBags and filters
Original Miele FilterBags and filters can be purchased from an authorized Miele vacuum dealer or by visiting the Miele store at www.mieleusa.com.

ANCE

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 surfaces. 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 experience 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 attention 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 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
The electrical outlet must be rated at 15 Amps.
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 genuine 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 without the FilterBag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter in place.
The dust compartment cover will not close without a FilterBag inserted. 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 anywhere near a person's head.
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 FilterBags, filters, and accessories bearing the “ORIGINAL 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 appli-
ance
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.
