cuum cleaner and all of the accessories supplied with it for any visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance or damaged
accessories.
4
Warning and Safety instructions
Compare the connection data on the data plate of the robot va-
cuum cleaner and the power supply (voltage and frequency) with
that of the mains electricity supply. This data must match exactly.
The mains electrical plug must be fitted with an appropriate fuse.
Reliable and safe operation of this robot vacuum cleaner can only
be assured if the base station has been connected to the mains
electricity supply.
While the robot vacuum cleaner is under guarantee, repairs should
only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.
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.

twisted. Do not place any heavy items on top of it.
Do not let the robot vacuum cleaner travel over the mains cable or
other cables.
Only use the parts supplied for charging the rechargeable battery
(adapter, power unit and base station).
Batteries and rechargeable batteries will deplete over time. They
can then leak corrosive fluids. Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
In the event of contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical
advice.
Do not attach any adhesive labels to the front of the base station
as this conceals an infrared transmitter. Do not place any items in
front of it.
The robot vacuum cleaner is fitted with sensors to detect steps
and drops in height. Do not cover these sensors or the camera, and
ensure that the function of the sensors is not hindered by obstacles
whilst the cleaner is moving.

Caring for the environment
3E&G+J
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Disposing of old batteries and
rechargeable batteries
Some electrical and electronic appliances contain batteries and rechargeable batteries which, when depleted, must not be thrown away with
your household waste. You are required
by law to remove any removable batteries or rechargeable batteries and to dispose of them in a suitable recycling box
for batteries. This service is free of
charge. Batteries and rechargeable batteries contain substances which can
damage human health and the environment.
Further instructions regarding disposal
are given on batteries and rechargeable
batteries. A bin with a line through it
means that the battery or rechargeable
battery must on no account be disposed of with your household waste. A
bin with a line through it which also has
one or several chemical symbols on it,
indicates that the battery or rechargeable battery contains lead (Pb),
cadmium (Cd) and/or quicksilver (Hg).
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also responsible (by law, depending on country) for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance being disposed
of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.
Old batteries and rechargeable batteries
contain important raw materials which
can be recycled. Disposing of batteries
and rechargeable batteries separately
makes them easier to handle and recycle.

Electrical connection for the
UK
All electrical work should be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
national and local safety regulations (BS
7671 in the UK). The voltage and frequency are given on the data plate located underneath the vacuum cleaner.
Please ensure that these match the
household mains supply. The fuse rating is quoted on the plug. The appliance is supplied with a cable and moulded plug ready for connection to a
230-240 V/50 Hz a.c. single phase supply.
Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363
The fuse cover must be re-fitted when
changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover
is lost the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained. The
colour of the correct replacement cover
is that of the coloured insert in the base
of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the
plug, (as applicable to the design of
plug fitted). Replacement fuses should
be ASTA approved to BS1362 and have
the correct rating. Replacement fuses
and fuse covers may be purchased
from your local electrical supplier.
