IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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. The power source should correspond with the voltage rating plate of the vacuum cleaner. 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 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.

The electrical outlet must be fitted

with a 15 A fuse.

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.

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 with 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.

Be aware, the cord clip can become

loose over time. Do not allow children to come in contact with this small part. Choking hazard.

Never use the vacuum cleaner

without the dustbag or filters in place. It may cause damage.

Do not vacuum anything that is

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

Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,

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

Do not vacuum flammable or

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

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 the vacuum cleaner

by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust

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

Do not leave the vacuum cleaner

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

This vacuum cleaner 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 handle the plug or vacuum

cleaner with wet hands.

Keep the power cord, hair, loose

clothing, fingers and other 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Turn off all controls before

unplugging.

Use extra care when cleaning on

stairs.

The hose, wand and accessories

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

Monitor the airflow indicator and

inspect all filters regularly. For best performance, the dustbag and filters should be replaced when necessary. A full bag or blocked filter will reduce the vacuum cleaner’s suction power. A temperature limiter automatically switches the vacuum cleaner off if it gets too hot, see "Frequently asked questions".

Using accessories

Unplug the vacuum cleaner when

changing accessories.

To avoid the risk of injury when

vacuuming do not touch the beater bar. Danger of injury.

Do not use the vacuum hose or

telescopic wand without an accessory attached. The rim could be damaged and injuries could result from sharp edges.

Miele dustbags are disposable and

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

Cleaning, maintenance and repairs

Turn the vacuum cleaner off after

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

Never submerge the vacuum

cleaner in water. Clean only with a dry 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. Repairs by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for unauthorized work.

If the power cord is damaged it

should be replaced with a genuine Miele cord by 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.

SAVE THESE

Only use genuine Miele dustbags

with the Miele quality signet and original Miele filter and accessories. Only then can the manufacturer guarantee its safety.

Power cord

The lower cord hook can be rotated.

Rotate the hook upward to release

the power cord.

Rewinding the power cord

When the vacuum cleaner is not in use, the power cord can be wound around the two cord hooks.

press it into the locking groove of the plug (see insert).

Use

Plug in the vacuum cleaner

recline the body of the vacuum cleaner to a comfortable position.
