Caring for the environment

Disposal of packing material

The packing material protects the vacuum cleaner from transport damage. The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling. Sort packing materials for disposal according to the type of material (e.g. plastics or cardboard).

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.

Disposing of your old vacuum cleaner

Before disposing of your old vacuum cleaner, remove the dustbag and filters and dispose of them with the 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 vacuum cleaner. Please do not dispose of your old vacuum cleaner with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre.

Ensure that your old vacuum cleaner presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions

This vacuum cleaner complies with statutory safety requirements. Improper use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the vacuum cleaner, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, operation and maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that 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, before changing over accessories, as well as for maintenance work and cleaning. Switch the vacuum cleaner off at the wall socket and unplug it.

Correct application

This vacuum cleaner is designed for domestic use and for use in

similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts.

This vacuum cleaner can be used for all normal cleaning of

carpets, rugs and robust hard flooring.

This vacuum cleaner is not suitable for outdoor use.

The vacuum cleaner must only be used to vacuum dry floor

surfaces. Do not use on people and animals. Any other usage, modification or alteration is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.

Warning and Safety instructions

This vacuum cleaner can only be used by people with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the consequences of incorrect operation.

Safety with children

Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.

Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has

been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

Cleaning of the vacuum cleaner may only be carried out by older

children under the supervision of an adult.

Please supervise children in the vicinity of the vacuum cleaner

and do not let them play with it.

Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

Technical safety

Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories, check for

any visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

Ensure that the connection data on the data plate of the vacuum

cleaner (voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply exactly.

The wall socket must be protected against short circuit by a delay

fuse 16 A or 10 A.

While the vacuum cleaner is under warranty, repairs should only

be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the cable, and be

careful not to damage the cable when withdrawing the plug from the socket. Keep the cable away from sharp edges and do not let it get squashed, for example, under a door. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over the cable. This could damage the cable, plug or socket. The appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered damage.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the cable is damaged. If the

cable is damaged it must be replaced together with a complete cable rewind. For safety reasons this work must be done by a Miele authorised service technician.

When vacuuming fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster, flour,

talcum powder etc., electrostatic charges build up naturally. Under certain conditions these charges will be released. To avoid the unpleasant effects of these discharges, a metal inlay has been incorporated into the underside of the handle. Please make sure that you keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during vacuuming.

Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with a dry cloth

or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from the mains supply.

Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorised service

technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons can cause considerable danger to users.

Correct use

To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum cleaner

without the dustbag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter in place.

Warning and Safety instructions

The dust compartment cover will not close without a dustbag

fitted. Do not force it.

Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning e.g.

cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether still glowing or apparently extinguished.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water, liquid or

damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed carpets or floor coverings are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust. Toner,

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

Do not vacuum up any inflammable or combustible liquids or

gases and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored.

Floor attachments, accessories and tubes must not be used at

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

Important information on the handling of batteries:

–

Do not short circuit or recharge batteries or throw them into a fire.

–

Disposing of batteries: Remove the batteries from the LED handle and dispose of them in your recycling bin. Do not dispose of them with the normal household waste.

Accessories

To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele

Turbobrush, do not touch the rotating roller brush.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Only use genuine dustbags, filters and accessories with the

"Original Miele" logo on them. Otherwise the manufacturer cannot guarantee the safety of the product and the manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect use or operation or by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Removing the suction hose

of the hose connector, and lift the hose from the socket.
