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

Before disposing of your old appliance remove the dustbag and all the filters and dispose of them with your 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 dealer for advice. 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.

The plug must be fitted with a 13 A

fuse (UK).

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

guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by Miele. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.

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 Electrobrush 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.

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 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 tube at head level to avoid the risk of injury, e.g. to eyes and ears.

Do not use the Electrobrush 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

Miele accessories including floorheads, filters and dustbags are available to order from your Miele retailer, the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet on www.miele-shop.com.

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.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and safety instructions.

Preparing for use

Assembling the cleaner

Raise the vacuum cleaner into the

vertical position.

Insert the handle into the vacuum

cleaner until it clicks into position.

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 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 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.
