Caring for the environment
Disposal of packing material
The packing material protects the
vacuum cleaner from transport
damage. The transport and protective
packing has been selected from
materials which are environmentally
friendly for disposal and can normally
be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling. Sort packing
materials for disposal according to the
type of material (e.g. plastics or
cardboard).
Disposing of the dustbag and
filters
These 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 dustbag and filters and
dispose of them with the normal
household waste.
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not dispose of your old
appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre.
Ensure that your old appliance presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.

recognising the dangers of misuse.
Cleaning of the vacuum cleaner may only be carried out by older
~
children under the supervision of an adult.
Supervise children whilst you are using the vacuum cleaner. This
~
vacuum cleaner is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play with it or to use the controls.
Technical safety
Ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and
~
frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. This data must
correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance.
The wall socket must be protected against short circuit by a delay
~
fuse 16 A or 10 A.
Before installation, check the appliance for visible signs of
~
damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorised service
~
technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous and will void the warranty. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for unauthorised work.
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 and pose a safety
hazard.

Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the mains cable is damaged. A
~
damaged mains cable must only be replaced with an original Miele
cable. Repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician
authorised by Miele. Otherwise the warranty will be void.
The socket on the vacuum cleaner must only be used for the
~
Miele floorheads specified for use with this appliance (depending on
model).
It is important to switch off the vacuum cleaner after use, before
~
changing any accessories and before any cleaning or maintenance.
Switch off at the wall socket and remove the plug.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with a dry cloth
~
or a slightly damp cloth when disconnected from the mains supply.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician
~
authorised by Miele. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons
could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
Correct use
Floor attachments, accessories and tubes must not be used at
~
head level to avoid the risk of injury, e.g. to eyes and ears.
To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum cleaner
~
without the dustbag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter in
place.
If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust compartment cover cannot
~
be closed. Do not force it.
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or is still
~
glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, even if apparently
extinguished.

~
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.
Accessories
To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele
~
TurboBrush, do not touch the rotating roller brush.
Only use genuine Miele dustbags and filters. This will ensure
~
optimum performance of the appliance throughout its life and will
guarantee the safety of the vacuum cleaner.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
