Caring for the environment
Disposal of 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 recycle them.
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 or machine
Electrical and electronic appliances / machines 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 or machine. Please do not therefore dispose of your old machine or 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.
It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details.

Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance meets statutory safety requirements. To avoid the risk of injury or damage to the appliance you should read these operating instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They give important information on the safety, operation and care of the appliance. Please keep these operating instructions in a safe place for reference, and pass them on to any future users.
Correct use
This vacuum cleaner must only be used in a 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.
Safety with children
This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not allow
children to play on or near it, or to play with the controls. Supervise its use by older children and the elderly or infirm.
Before using for the first time
Check the packaging, the vacuum cleaner and accessories for any
signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance: it could be dangerous.
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.
Use
The electro-suction hose and the electro-telescopic tube contain
electrical wires. Do not use the vacuum cleaner if these parts show any sign of damage. Danger of electric shock.
It is important to switch the vacuum cleaner off before changing over
accessories and floor heads, especially a turbo or electrobrush.
To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum cleaner without the
dustbag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter in place. Otherwise it could get damaged.
If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust compartment cover does not
normally close. Do not force it.
There is a metal inlay underneath the handle, which is designed to
protect the user from electrostatic discharges. Please make sure that you keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during vacuuming. This way any build-up of electrostatic charge will be rendered ineffective.

Warning and Safety instructions
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 up anything which has been burning or is still glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether
glowing or apparently extinguished. The cleaner might catch fire.
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 and so the toner could be blown back into the atmosphere 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.
Do not vacuum up building materials such as plaster dust or
floor sanding dust. The filter system may not completely filter all particles, which may lead to a fire or explosion.
Do not vacuum up items which are heavy, hard or have sharp edges.
They could cause a blockage and damage the appliance.
Floor attachments, accessories and tubes must not be used at head level to avoid the risk of injury,
e.g. to eyes and ears.
Do not carry the appliance by the cable. When disconnecting from
the mains socket pull by the plug not by the cable.
-Keep the cable away from sharp edges and do not let it be squashed at all, for example, under a door.
-Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over the cable.
A damaged cable, plug or socket is a danger to safety. The appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered damage.
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 section "Problem solving guide".

Warning and Safety instructions
Using accessories
To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele Electroor
Turbobrush do not touch the rotating roller brush.
The Miele Electrobrush is a motor driven accessory appliance for use
only with Miele vacuum cleaners. The cleaner must not be used with an electrobrush produced by another manufacturer.
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 vacuum cleaner dustbags are disposable and intended to be
used only once. Do not attempt to re-use. Blocked pores reduce the efficiency of the cleaner.
Use only genuine Miele dustbags, filters and accessories. This will
ensure optimum performance of the vacuum cleaner throughout its life.
Cleaning, maintenance and repairs
Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the mains supply when
you have finished using it, as well as for maintenance work and cleaning. Switch off at the wall socket and remove the plug. Pull on the plug and not the cable.
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 an
electric shock.
The electro-suction hose and the electro-telescopic tube contain
electrical wires. The plug connectors must not come in contact with water. Do not attempt to clean them with a damp cloth. Danger of electric shock.
Repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with national and
local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
If the cable is damaged it should be replaced together with a
complete cable rewind by a Miele service technician.
Disposing of an old appliance
When disposing of an old appliance cut the cable off the
appliance as close to the cleaner as possible and cut the plug off. The plug cut from the cable should be rendered useless and then disposed of and on no account be inserted into any socket elsewhere in the house (electric shock hazard). Dispose of the appliance in a responsible manner.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Preparing for use
Attaching the suction hose
^ Open the dust compartment shutter.
The dust compartment shutter is designed for hygienic handling and prevents dust and odours escaping.
If you remove the suction hose from the vacuum cleaner for storage purposes close the dust compartment shutter before putting the cleaner away (e.g. in a cupboard).
^Insert the elbow into the suction socket.
When inserting the elbow, ensure that the plug connectors line up correctly.
To remove the suction hose from the cleaner
^Press the release buttons at the side of the elbow and lift the hose from the socket.

Preparing for use
Connecting the suction hose and the suction tube
^Fit the hand piece of the suction hose into the suction tube. (Ensure that the plug connectors line up). They must lock together with a click.
^To release the hand piece from the suction tube press the locking button (see arrow) and pull the hand piece away from the suction tube.
Adjusting the electro-telescopic tube
One part of the electro-telescopic tube is packed inside the other and can be adjusted to suit your height for comfortable vacuum cleaning.
^Press the telescopic tube release button (see arrow) to release the tubes. Draw out or push in to adjust to the required height, then release the button. The tube is locked in position.
,When a resistance is felt it has reached its maximum length. Do not force it beyond its length!

Preparing for use
Using the Electrobrush
The Electrobrush is particularly suitable for intensive vacuuming of carpets which are subject to hard wear. It is very effective at removing deep seated dirt and preventing areas of frequent use being trodden into a path.
It is also important to observe the flooring manufacturer’s cleaning and care instructions.
,Do not use on carpets such as saxony with very long-pile, berber and sheepskin rugs, and valuable hand-knotted carpets, e.g. Persian and similar. There is a danger of the threads being pulled out.
If in doubt, contact the carpet manufacturer/retailer.
Floor surfaces with a variable or uneven profile
If your cleaner is fitted with an SEB 217:
–do not use it on variable or uneven floor surfaces. The brush might come into contact with the floor and cause damage.
If your cleaner is fitted with an SEB 236:
– adjust the height of the floor brush.
