Caring for the environment
Disposal of the 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 ensure they are
offered for recycling.
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.
Disposal of your old appliance
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.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and 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 accidents and
damage to the appliance, read
these instructions carefully before
using it for the first time. They
contain important notes 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.
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
~
the manufacturer's warranty, repairs
should only be undertaken by a service
technician authorised by Miele.
Otherwise the manufacturer's warranty
will be invalidated.
7
Warning and safety instructions
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 pull or carry the vacuum
~
cleaner by the cable.
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.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the
~
cable is damaged. A damaged cable
can endanger your safety.
If the cable is damaged, the
~
complete cable unit must be replaced.
For safety reasons, this must only be
done by the Miele Service Department
or a Miele authorised service
technician.
Switch the vacuum cleaner off,
~
switch off at the wall socket and remove
the plug before changing accessories.
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
Never touch the PowerBrush roller
~
while it is rotating. Danger of injury.
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 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.
CAUTION: This hose contains
electrical connections.
– Do not use to suck up water.
– Do not immerse in water for
cleaning.
– The hose should be checked
regularly and must not be used if
damaged.

Warning and safety instructions
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 vacuum cleaner might catch fire.
Do not vacuum up items which are
~
heavy, hard or have sharp edges. They
could cause a blockage and damage
the appliance.
Do not use the suction hose or
~
telescopic wand at head level to avoid
the risk of injury, e.g. to eyes and ears.
Do not use the PowerBrush at head
~
level. Danger of injury.
Do not vacuum near items such as
~
curtains, scarves, clothing etc, as these
could be vacuumed in and become
entangled in the roller.
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".
Accessories
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 would be
reduced by the blocked pores.
Use only genuine Miele dustbags,
~
filters and accessories. This will ensure
optimum performance of the appliance
throughout its life. Failure to use
Original Miele dustbags, filters and
accessories may invalidate the
manufacturer's warranty and cause
damage to the appliance.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and safety instructions.

Preparing for use
Assembling the vacuum
cleaner
Raise the vacuum cleaner into the
^
vertical position.
Insert the handle into the vacuum
^
cleaner until it clicks into position.
10
Unwind the mains cable
The lower cable hook can be turned in
either direction.
Turn it upwards to release the cable.
^
Winding up the mains cable
When the vacuum cleaner is not in use,
the cable can be wound around the two
cable hooks.
Secure the mains cable by clamping
the plug to the cable (see detail).
Using the vacuum cleaner
11
Using the vacuum cleaner
Switching on
Whilst vacuuming the mains cable
^
can be fed through the guide at the
side of the upper cable hook (see
detailed drawing).
This way the mains cable will not get in
the way during vacuuming. This also
protects the cable from becoming
kinked.
Releasing the vacuum cleaner
^ Step on the foot switch and tilt the
cleaner to a comfortable position for
vacuuming.
