Only Miele dustbags, filters and accessories with the "Original Miele" logo can be used with this vacuum. Only then can the suction power of the

vacuum cleaner reach its optimum potential creating the best possible cleaning results.

USE OF NON-MIELE COMPONENTS MAY VOID THE WARRANTY.

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 may void the warranty, just as with the use of dustbags without the "Original Miele" logo.

The "Original Miele" Logo will appear on the packaging or directly on the dustbag.

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 www.mieleusa.com.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical Safety

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.

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.

If the power cord is damaged it

should be replaced along with a new cable reel by Miele Technical Service.

The electrical outlet must be fitted

with a 15 A fuse.

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.

Do not leave the vacuum plugged

in. Unplug it from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.

Turn off all controls before

unplugging.

Never submerge the vacuum

cleaner in water. 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.

Repairs must only be performed by

an authorized service agent in accordance with national and local safety regulations. Unauthorized repairs could cause injury or machine damage. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for unauthorized work.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper Use

Never use the vacuum cleaner

without the dustbag or filters in place. Otherwise it could be damaged.

If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust

compartment lid will not close. Do not force it shut.

Do not vacuum anything that is

burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes. The vacuum cleaner could catch fire.

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 toner dust. Toner,

such as that used in printers and photocopiers can conduct electricity.

This vacuum should not be used to

entrap or retain any hazardous materials.

Do not use to pick up flammable or

combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present. The vacuum cleaner could

explode.

Turn the vacuum cleaner off after

each use and before every cleaning / maintenance. Pull the plug from the outlet.

Unwind the cord completely to aid

the vacuum in dissipating heat.

Do not vacuum items which are

heavy, hard or have sharp edges. They could cause a blockage and damage the appliance.

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 the power cord, 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 cleaner. 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 the plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow the plug to whip when rewinding.

Use extra care when cleaning on

stairs.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Accessories

Do not use the vacuum without an

accessory attached. The rim could be damaged and injuries could result from sharp edges.

Only use genuine Miele dustbags

with the Miele quality signet and original Miele filters and accessories. Only then will the manufacturer guarantee its safety.

Floor attachments, accessories and

wands must not be used at head level to avoid injury to eyes and ears.

Miele dust bags are disposable and

intended to be used only once. Do not attempt to reuse. An over stuffed dustbag will reduce the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner.

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!

Unplug the vacuum when changing

accessories, especially the Turbobrush, and Powerbrush.

To avoid the risk of injury when

vacuuming with a Miele Power or Turbobrush do not touch the rotating roller brush. Danger of injury.

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 cleaner must not be used with another manufacturer’s powerbrush.

Disposal

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.
