Caring for the environment
Disposal of packing material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic, wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please recycle them.
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 bee used exclusively
for general household dust.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before disposing of your old appliance
remove the dustbag and all the filters
and dispose of them with your 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 therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

unplug it.
Correct application
This vacuum cleaner must only be
~
used for domestic household purposes
to vacuum dry floor surfaces. Do not
use on people or animals.
Any other usage, modification or
alteration is at the owner's risk and
could be dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage resulting from improper or
incorrect use of the appliance.
~
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience or knowledge, unless they
are supervised whilst using it, or have
been shown how to use it by a person
responsible for their safety.
Safety with children
This appliance is not a toy! To avoid
~
the risk of injury, keep children well
away, and do not allow them to play
with it or to use the controls. Supervise
children whilst you are using it.
Older children may only use the
~
vacuum cleaner if its operation has
been clearly explained to them, and
they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of incorrect
use.
Technical safety
Ensure that the connection data on
~
the data plate (voltage and frequency)
match the mains electricity supply. It is
essential that they match to avoid
damage to the appliance.
The plug must be fitted with a 13 A
~
fuse (UK).
Before using the vacuum cleaner,
~
check for any signs of damage. Do not
use a damaged appliance; it could be
dangerous.
While the vacuum cleaner is under
~
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by Miele. Otherwise the
guarantee will be invalidated.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
Switch the vacuum cleaner off
~
before changing accessories.
There is a metal inlay underneath
~
the handle which is designed to protect
the user from electrostatic discharges.
Please make sure that you keep your
hand in constant contact with this metal
strip during vacuuming.
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 be squashed,
for example, under a door.
– Avoid running the vacuum cleaner
over the cable.
A damaged cable, plug or socket is a
safety hazard. The appliance must not
be used if any of these have suffered
damage.
If the cable is damaged it must be
~
replaced together with a complete
cable rewind. For safety reasons this
must only be done by the Miele Service
Department or a Miele authorised ser
vice technician.
Repairs should only be carried out
~
by a Miele authorised service
technician. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for unauthorised work.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get
~
wet. Clean only with a dry cloth or
slightly damp cloth when disconnected
from the mains supply. If moisture gets
into the appliance, there is a risk of
electric shock.
-
Correct use
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 does not normally
close. Do not force it.
Do not vacuum up any water, liquid
~
or damp dirt. This will cause major
faults and could seriously impair the
functioning and electrical safety of the
appliance. Wait until any freshly
cleaned or shampooed carpets or floor
coverings are completely dry before
attempting to vacuum.
Do not vacuum up anything which
~
has been burning or is still glowing e.g.
cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether
glowing or apparently extinguished.
The cleaner might catch fire.
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,
~
such as that used in printers and
photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
The filter system in the vacuum cleaner
may not filter it completely, causing the
toner to be blown back into the room by
the fan.
Do not vacuum up any inflammable
~
or combustible liquids or gases and do
not vacuum in areas where such
substances are stored. The cleaner
might explode.
Do not vacuum up items which are
~
heavy, hard or have sharp edges. They
could cause a blockage and damage
the appliance.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
Floor attachments, accessories and
~
tubes must not be used at head level to
avoid the risk of injury, e.g. to eyes and
ears.
Do not vacuum near items such as
~
curtains, scarves, clothing etc, as these
could be vacuumed in and become
entangled in the roller.
Monitor the change dustbag
~
indicator and change the dustbag if
necessary. Check the exhaust and dust
compartment filters at the same time
and change them too if necessary. A
full bag or blocked filter will reduce the
suction power of the cleaner. A
temperature limiter switches the
vacuum cleaner off automatically if it
gets too hot. See "Problem solving
guide".
Accessories
Miele accessories including
floorheads, filters and dustbags are
available to order from your Miele
retailer, the Miele Spare Parts
Department or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com.
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.
Miele dustbags are disposable and
~
intended to be used only once. Do not
attempt to re-use, as suction could be
reduced by the blocked pores.
Use only genuine Miele dustbags,
~
filters, accessories and optional
accessories. This will ensure optimum
performance of the appliance
throughout its life.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Warning: When vacuuming
especially fine dust, e.g. sawdust,
sand, plaster, flour, talcum powder
etc., electrostatic charges build up
naturally. Under certain conditions
these charges will be released. To
avoid the unpleasant effects of these
discharges, a metal inlay has been
incorporated into the underside of
the handle. Please make sure that
you keep your hand in constant
contact with this metal strip during
vacuuming.

of use the settings are suitable for:
a - curtains, lightweight fabrics
b - upholstery, cushions
c - carpets, rugs and runners
( - for daily energy-saving
vacuuming. This setting is also
very quiet.
e - lightly soiled rugs and fitted
carpets
f - heavily soiled hard flooring, and
for intensive cleaning of carpets

Open the air inlet valve far enough to
reduce the suction power.
The floorhead will be easier to
manoeuvre. Close the valve up again
when you are ready to use full power
again.

damage the vacuum cleaner and
invalidate the warranty.
Original Miele "G/N" dustbags and
original filters are identified by the
"Original Miele" logo on the packaging
or directly on the dustbag.
A Super Air Clean filter and a dust
compartment filter are supplied with
every packet of Miele dustbags.
