Caring for the environment
Disposal of packing material
The packing material protects the vacuum cleaner from transport damage. The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling. Sort packing materials for disposal according to the type of material (e.g. plastics or cardboard).
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 been used exclusively for general household dust.
Disposing of your old appliance
Before disposing of your old appliance, remove the dustbag and filter and dispose of them with the 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 Miele Vacuum Cleaner Specialist for advice.
Ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before installation and before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, use 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.
Correct application
This vacuum cleaner is designed for domestic use and for use in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts.
This appliance is not suitable for outdoor use.
This vacuum cleaner must only be used 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.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Safety with children
Supervise children whilst you are using the vacuum cleaner. This vacuum cleaner 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.
Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
Cleaning and maintenance work may only be carried out by older children under the supervision of an adult.
Technical safety
Before installation, check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
Ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
The wall socket must be protected against short circuit by a delay fuse 16 A or 10 A.
Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorised service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
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. This could damage the cable, plug or socket and pose a safety hazard.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the mains cable is damaged. 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 by a Miele authorised service technician.
There is a metal inlay underneath the handle which is designed to avoid the unpleasant effects of electrostatic discharges. Please make sure that you keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during vacuuming.

Warning and Safety instructions
It is important to switch off the vacuum cleaner after use, before changing any accessories and before any cleaning or maintenance. Switch off at the wall socket and remove the plug.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with a dry cloth, slightly damp cloth or suitable proprietary cleaner when disconnected from the mains supply.
While the vacuum cleaner is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by Miele. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
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 cannot be closed. Do not force it.
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or is still glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, even if apparently extinguished.
Do not vacuum up any inflammable or combustible liquids or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not vacuum up any liquids or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed carpets or floor coverings are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
Floor attachments, accessories and tubes must not be used at head level to avoid the risk of injury, e.g. to eyes and ears.
Accessories
To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele TurboBrush, do not touch the rotating roller brush.
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.
Only use genuine Miele approved dustbags and filters. This will ensure optimum performance of the appliance throughout its life and will guarantee the safety of the vacuum cleaner.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
