IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
~
this appliance has a polarized plug
WARNING-
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
Before Using
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 may result in damage to the vacuum cleaner or injury.
(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.
A damaged vacuum cleaner can be
~
dangerous. Check the packaging, vacuum cleaner and accessories for any signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
Do not use with a damaged cord or
~
plug. If the appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or submerged in water, bring it to a service center.
The electrical outlet must be fitted
~
with a 15 A fuse.

Persons who lack physical, sensory,
~
or mental capabilities or experience with the machine should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.
Unwind the cord completely to aid
~
the vacuum in dissipating heat.
This vacuum should not be used to

~
and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
Do not place anything into the
~
openings of the vacuum. Do not use if any openings are blocked; keep them free of dust, lint, hair or anything that may reduce air flow.
To avoid risk of injury while
~
vacuuming, do not reach into the moving beater bar of the Powerbrush. Danger of injury.
This appliance is equipped with a
~
power cord reel. Hold the plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow plug to whip when rewinding.
Turn off all controls before
~
unplugging.
Use caution when vacuuming on
~
stairs.
Floor attachments, accessories and

Turn off and unplug the vacuum
,
cleaner before performing any maintenance work.
The Miele filter system consists of the following three components.
Dustbag
Exhaust filter
Dust compartment filter
– Each of these components must be
changed periodically to maintain the vacuum cleaner’s efficiency.
Only use Miele dustbags, filters and accessories with the "Original Miele" logo. Only then can the suction power of the vacuum cleaner reach its optimum potential creating the best possible cleaning results.
Maintenance and care
Purchasing new dustbags and filters
Original Miele dustbags and filters can be purchased from an authorized Miele vacuum dealer or by visiting the Miele store at http://store.miele.com.
Which dustbags and filters are the right ones?
This vacuum cleaner uses Original Miele dustbags Type G/N and an Original Miele filters, the "Original Miele" Logo will appear on the packaging or directly on the dustbag.
,
The use of dustbags made of paper or a similar material, or dustbags with a cardboard retaining plate can lead to serious damage to the vacuum cleaner and possibly voiding the warranty, just as with the use of dustbags without the "Original Miele" logo.
Manuals free download from ManualBirds
An "Air clean" exhaust filter and a dust compartment filter are supplied with every box of Miele dustbags. If you would like to purchase additional Miele filters separately, contact your vacuum dealer or Miele, please quote the model number of your Miele vacuum cleaner to ensure correct parts are ordered. These parts are also available to order from the online Miele store.
The exhaust filter supplied with the vacuum cleaner can be exchanged with another type of Original Miele filter (see "Exchanging exhaust filters").
17
Maintenance and care
When to change the dustbag
Change the dustbag when the colored marker in the airflow indicator fills the display.
Miele dustbags are disposable and made to be used only once. Do not attempt to reuse.
Checking the airflow indicator
Attach the floor brush to the vacuum
^
cleaner. Perform this test with the floor brush only, since other attachments can affect the function of the airflow indicator.
^ Turn the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
^ Lift the floor brush slightly off the
floor. If the marker completely fills the indicator window, the dustbag needs to be changed.
How the airflow indicator works
The airflow indicator is designed to show when the bag is full of common household dust and measures the amount of air flow through the dustbag. Normal household dust is a mixture of dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, sand, etc.
However, if fine dust, such as drill dust, sand, plaster or flour is vacuumed, the pores of the dustbag may become blocked. The marker will indicate that the bag is "full" even when it is not. The dustbag should be changed as the suction power is greatly reduced.
18
Manuals free download from ManualBirds
If the bag is bulging with pet fur, hair, carpet fluff, etc. the indicator may not register "full". This is because the air flow of the dustbag may still be high enough not to activate the marker to show maximum. The dustbag should still be changed.
Replacing the dustbag
Open the dust compartment lid and
^
raise until it clicks into place.
The dustbag has a closing flap which closes automatically when the dust compartment lid is raised to prevent any dust from escaping.
Grasp the finger grip and pull a the
^
dustbag out of the holder.
^ Insert b the new dustbag as far as it
will go into the dustbag holder. Do not unfold the dustbag when taking it out of the box.
Maintenance and care
^ Unfold the dustbag in the dust
compartment.
^
Push the dust compartment lid closed until it clicks into place. Take care not to jam the dustbag in the lid.
,
An empty-operation-barrier blocks the dust compartment lid from closing if no dustbag is inserted. Do not force it closed.
