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.
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.
Never use the vacuum cleaner without the dustbag or filters in place. It may cause damage.
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 unplug the vacuum cleaner by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
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.
Only use genuine Miele dustbags with the Miele quality signet and original Miele filter and accessories. Only then can the manufacturer guarantee its safety.
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.
