When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS APPLIANCE
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by
non-compliance of these Important Safety Instructions.
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
than indicated in these instructions may
result in damage to the vacuum cleaner
or injury.
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this appliance has a polarized plug
(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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use
Do not use on people
or animals.
Do not use outdoors or on wet
surfaces. Only dry surfaces should
be vacuumed.
Use only as described in this
manual. Use only Miele
recommended accessories.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Important
Safety Instructions. This appliance is
intended strictly for household use only.
Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to
be used as a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used near children.
Do not leave the vacuum plugged
in. Unplug it from the outlet when
not in use and before servicing.
Never use the vacuum cleaner
without the dustbag or filters in
place. Otherwise it could be damaged.
If no dustbag is inserted, the dust
compartment lid will not close. Do
not force it shut.
On the underside of the vacuum
handpiece is a metal insert
designed to absorb static electricity.
Please make certain that your hand
remains around this metal insert when
vacuuming.
Unwind the cord completely to aid
the vacuum in dissipating heat.
This vacuum should not be used to
entrap or retain any hazardous
materials.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to
pick up liquids or damp dirt. This
could impair the electrical safety of the
vacuum cleaner. Wait for freshly
shampooed carpets to dry.
Do not vacuum anything that is
burning or smoking such as
cigarettes, matches or hot ashes. The
vacuum could catch fire.
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,
such as that used in printers and
photocopiers can conduct electricity.
Do not use to pick up any
flammable or combustible liquids,
such as gasoline, or use in areas where
they may be present.
Do not vacuum up items which are
heavy, hard or have sharp edges.
They could cause a blockage and
damage the appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not pull or carry by the cord,
use the cord as a handle, close a
door on the cord, or pull the cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not
run the appliance over the cord. Keep
the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not unplug by pulling on the
cord. To unplug, grasp the plug,
not the cord.
Do not handle the plug or vacuum
with wet hands.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers
and all parts of the 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.
This appliance is equipped with a
power cord reel. Hold plug when
rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow
plug to whip when rewinding.
Turn off all controls before
unplugging.
Use extra care when cleaning on
stairs.
Floor attachments, accessories
and wands must not be used at
head level to avoid injury to eyes and
ears.
Monitor the dustbag change
indicator and inspect all filters
regularly. To ensure efficient suction,
clean or replace them as necessary,
see "Maintenance and care". To
guarantee safety, only use genuine
Miele dustbags, filters and accessories.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Accessory use
Unplug the vacuum when
changing accessories, especially
the Turbobrush, Powerbrush and
Cordless Powerbrush ACCU NOVA.
The socket on the vacuum cleaner
(depending on model) must only
be used for the Miele Powerbrush
specified for use with this appliance.
Danger of injury. The Miele
Powerbrush is a motor driven
accessory for use only with Miele
vacuum cleaners. The vacuum must not
be used with another manufacturer’s
powerbrush.
The hose and the telescopic wand
contain electrical wires. Do not use
the vacuum cleaner if these parts are
damaged, cut or punctured. Avoid
picking up sharp objects. Danger of
electric shock!
To avoid the risk of injury when
vacuuming with a Miele Power- or
Turbobrush do not touch the rotating
roller brush. Injuries may result.
Do not use the vacuum without an
accessory attached. The rim could
be damaged and injuries could result
from sharp edges.
Miele dust bags are disposable
and intended to be used only
once. Do not attempt to reuse them.
Only use genuine Miele dustbags
with the Miele quality signet and
original Miele filters and accessories.
Cleaning, maintenance and
repairs
Turn the vacuum off after each use
and before every cleaning /
maintenance. Pull the plug from the
outlet.
Clean only with a dry or slightly
damp cloth when disconnected
from the power supply. Never
submerge in water. Danger of electric
shock!
Repairs may only be performed by
an authorized service agent in
accordance with national and local
safety regulations. Repairs by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous.
If the power cord is damaged it
should be replaced along with a
new cable reel by Miele Technical
Service.
Disposing of an old appliance
Before discarding an old vacuum
cleaner, please cut off the power
cord and render the plug useless.
Ensure the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
