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.

Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance meets statutory safety requirements. Improper use can, however, lead to personal injury and material damage.
To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the appliance you should read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, operation and maintenance. Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.
Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the mains supply when you have finished using it, as well as for maintenance work and cleaning. Switch it off at the wall socket and 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.
~ This appliance is not intended for 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 service 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.
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.
~ 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".
~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.

Maintenance and care
,Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical supply before any maintenance work. Switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug.
The Miele filter system consists of three filters which must be replaced from time to time to ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs efficiently.
–Dustbag
–Dust compartment filter (for motor protection)
–Exhaust filter
Use only genuine Miele dustbags, filters, accessories and optional accessories. Only this will ensure that the suction power of the vacuum cleaner is maintained, giving the best possible cleaning results.
,The use of dustbags made from paper or paper-based materials, or dustbags with a cardboard collar, or dustbags that do not carry the "Original Miele" logo, can seriously damage the vacuum cleaner and invalidate the warranty.
Purchasing new dustbags and filters
Original Miele dustbags and filters can be obtained from your Miele Dealer, from the Miele Service Department and via the internet at www.miele-shop.com.
Ordering the correct dustbags and filters
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.
If you wish to purchase original Miele exhaust filters separately, please quote the model number of your appliance to your Miele Dealer or to the Customer Services Department when ordering to ensure you get the correct items. These can also be purchased online at www.miele-shop.com.
