IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, always observe basic safety precautions, including the following:
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE USING THIS ACCESSORY FOR THE FIRST TIME. KEEP THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Use
The Accu-Nova is a motorized accessory, only for use with a Miele
vacuum cleaner. Do not connect the Accu-Nova to a non-Miele vacuum.
The rechargeable battery brush must only be used for household
purposes to vacuum and brush dry floor surfaces. Do not use on people or animals. The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for damage caused if the appliance is not used according to the instructions or for uses other than those for which it was intended.
Technical safety
Ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and
frequency) match your power supply. This data must correspond to prevent injury and machine damage.
Do not use the brush, the rechargeable battery or the
recharger if damaged. Damaged parts are a safety risk.
Turn the vacuum and brush off after each use and before
cleaning / maintenance.
When recharging the battery use only the supplied genuine
recharger.
Use the recharger only with Miele rechargeable batteries.
Recharge the battery only in a cool, dry location.
Protect the battery from direct sunlight and temperatures of more

Rechargeable batteries may leak. Do not allow the caustic liquid to
come in contact with your eyes. If this does occur rinse eyes immediately and seek medical attention.
When disconnecting the recharger from the outlet, pull the plug not
the cord.

technician in accordance with national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for unauthorized work.
Ensure the vacuum cleaner is turned off before inserting the
battery.
Use the brush only with the delivered battery.

the brush near curtains, clothing, scarves, etc.

Function and features of the rechargeable brush
The roller of the rechargeable brush is operated by a separate motor. This motor gets the electricity needed from a rechargeable battery.
The motor of the Accu-Nova is turned on only if:
–the vacuum cleaner is turned on.
–the rechargeable battery brush is being moved on the floor.
The roller is stopped if the Accu-Nova is not moved. The indicator "Operation" will go out.
Once the brush is moved again the roller will continue to turn.
Recommendation for use
The Accu-Nova is intended for intensive cleaning and restoring of full-bodied carpeting. It is particularly suitable for cleaning and restoring crushed carpet pile of floor coverings subject to hard wear.
Four rollers keep the brush 1/16 " (1.5 mm) from the floor.
For cleaning non-carpeted floors, the use of the combination rug and floor tool or any floor application tool is recommended.
Follow the cleaning and care instructions provided by the floor covering manufacturer.
Do not use the Accu-Nova on:
–Floor surfaces with an uneven surface. The brush may come into contact with the floor and cause damage.
