en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE
This vacuum cleaner complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate 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 the operating instructions carefully
before using it for the first time. They contain important
information on its safety, operation and maintenance.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and
pass them on to any future user.
Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power
supply when you have finished using it, before changing
any accessories, as well as for maintenance work and
cleaning. Turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug it.
Correct use
This vacuum cleaner is intended for cleaning flooring in
domestic households and similar residential environments.
This vacuum cleaner can be used for all normal cleaning
of carpets, rugs and hard flooring.
This vacuum cleaner is not intended 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.
4
en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Persons which lack physical, sensory or mental abilities
or experience with the machine should not use it without
supervision or instruction by a responsible person.
Safety with children
Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrap-
pings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the
reach of children.
Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy.
Close attention is necessary when used near children.
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
Check the voltage rating of the vacuum cleaner before
connecting the power cord to an electrical outlet. Your
power source should correspond with the voltage rating
plate located on the underside of the vacuum. 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 than indicated in these instructions may result in damage to the vacuum cleaner 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.
5
en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 household power supply. Without modifications, the vacuum
cleaner is suited for 50Hz or 60Hz.
The electrical outlet must be fitted with a 15 A fuse.
Reliable and safe operation of this vacuum cleaner can
only be assured if it has been connected to the electricity
supply.
Repairs must only be performed by an authorized ser-
vice agent in accordance with national and local safety
regulations. Unauthorized repairs could cause injury or machine damage. Otherwise the warranty will be void.
Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the power
cord, and be careful not to damage the cord when withdrawing the plug from the socket. Keep the cord away
from sharp edges and do not let it get pinched, for example, under a door. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over
the cord. This could damage the cord, plug or socket. The
appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered
damage.
6
en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the power cord is
damaged. If the power cord is damaged it must be replaced together with the cord reel. For safety reasons this
must only be done by Miele Technical Service or a Miele
authorized service technician.
When vacuuming, in particular fine dust, e.g. sawdust,
sand, plaster, flour etc., electrostatic charges build up naturally. Under certain conditions these charges can be released. On the underside of the vacuum handpiece is a
metal insert designed to absorb static electricity. Please
make certain that your hand remains around this metal insert when vacuuming. If your vacuum cleaner is fitted with
an Eco Comfort handle, make sure you hold it by the upper
bowed section as this is where the metal inlay is incorporated.
Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele-authorized
service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons can cause considerable danger to users.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele orig-
inal parts only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer
guarantee the safety of the appliance.
Cleaning
Do not immerse the vacuum cleaner or any accessories
supplied with it in water.
Clean only with a dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when
disconnected from the power supply. Exception:
7
en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
– Dust container / fine dust container: only clean these
parts with water and a small amount of liquid dish soap,
then dry carefully.
– Fine dust filter: do not clean the inside of the fine dust
filter. Rinse the outside under running cold water. Do not
use soap. Do not use any sharp or pointed objects and
do not brush the fine dust filter. After cleaning, leave the
fine dust filter to dry for a minimum of 24hours before
placing it back in the fine dust container.
– Pre-filter / filter frame: clean these parts under running
cold water. Do not use soap. Do not use any sharp or
pointed objects. Dry these parts carefully after cleaning.
Proper use
Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the dust con-
tainer, pre-filter, fine dust container and fine dust filter fitted.
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or
smoking, e.g., cigarettes, ashes or hot ash, whether 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 rugs or carpets 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.
8
en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not vacuum up any flammable or combustible liquids
or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored.
Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction
get anywhere near a person's head.
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.
Only use accessories with the "ORIGINAL Miele" logo
on them. Otherwise the manufacturer cannot guarantee the
safety of the product.

en - Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping. They have been designed to be
biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance

and components which are essential for
the proper functioning and safe use of
the equipment. Handling these materials improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old
appliance with your regular household
waste.
Instead, use the official collection and
disposal points provided by local authorities, dealers or Miele, in order to
dispose of and recycle electrical and
electronic appliances. You are legally
responsible for deleting any personal
data on the old appliance you wish to
dispose of. Please ensure that your old

14
en-US
Use
Power cord
Unwind the cord completely to
aid the vacuum in dissipating heat.
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.
Do not unplug by pulling the cord. To
unplug grasp the plug, not the cord.
This appliance is equipped with a
power cord reel. Hold the plug when
rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow plug to whip when rewinding.
Unwind the power cord (Fig. 11)
Pull the power cord out to the re-
quired length (max. cord length approx. 21 ft / 6.5 m).
Insert the plug into the electrical
socket.
If vacuuming for longer than 30
minutes, the power cord must be
pulled out all the way. Otherwise
there is a danger of overheating and
damage.
Rewinding the power cord (Fig. 12)
Unplug the power cord from the
socket.
Step on the cord rewind foot switch.
The power cord will then retract itself
into the vacuum cleaner.
If you do not want the cord to retract
completely into the vacuum cleaner
you can deactivate this function. To do
this, take hold of the end of the cord
while rewinding it and give it a short
pull when you want the rewinding to
end.
Turning the vacuum cleaner on and
off (Fig. 13)
Press the On/Off foot control .
Selecting the suction power
The suction power can be adjusted to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the power lowers the amount
of effort required to maneuver the floor
brush.
The vacuum cleaner has symbols on
the controls which indicate the type of
use the settings are suitable for.
Curtains, lightweight fabric
Deep pile carpets, rugs and run-
ners
Low pile carpet and rugs
Hard flooring and heavily soiled
carpets and rugs (also for cleaning upholstery and mattresses
with the upholstery nozzle)
Rotary dial (Fig. 14)
Turn the rotary selector to the suction
power setting you require.
During vacuuming
When vacuuming, pull the vacuum
cleaner behind you on its wheels. You
can stand it upright for vacuuming
stairs and curtains, etc.
15
en-US
When vacuuming especially fine
dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, 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. Keep your
hand in contact with the upper,
curved part of the handle when vacuuming (Fig. 15).
If a large amount of dust is vacuumed
at once, the ComfortClean self-cleaning
function should be started manually either during a vacuuming pause or
straight away. This enables the vacuum
cleaner to achieve the very best cleaning performance again straight away
(see "Maintenance - Starting the ComfortClean self-cleaning function manually").
Parking, transport and storage
Park system for pauses during vacuuming (Fig. 16)
The Park system allows you to conveniently park the wand and floorhead
during short pauses in vacuuming.
Slot the floorhead into the parking at-
tachment on the vacuum cleaner.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a sloping surface such as a ramp, fully retract the telescopic wand fully.
Park system for storage (Fig. 17)
Always unplug the vacuum
cleaner from the power supply when
you have finished using it.
Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.
It is a good idea to fully retract the
telescopic wand so that the vacuum
cleaner takes up less room for storage.
Slot the floor head down into the
parking attachment on the vacuum
cleaner.
This makes the vacuum cleaner easier
to carry and store.
For safety reasons, do not lift the
vacuum cleaner using the dust container carrying handle.
Maintenance
Always switch off the vacuum
cleaner for maintenance work and
unplug the power cord from the wall
socket.
Emptying the dust
container(Figs. 18 - 23)
Empty the dust container before the
dust has reached the max marking
on the dust container.
Pull the dust container handle up-
ward.
16
Remove the dust container upward.
en-US
The contents of the dust container can
be disposed of with the normal household trash, providing it contains general household dust only.
Hold the dust container close to the
bin so that as little dust billows out as
possible.
Press the yellow release button on
the bottom of the dust container.
The flap will open and the dust will fall
out.
Close the flap so that it clicks audibly.
Insert the dust container down into
the vacuum cleaner so that it audibly
clicks into place.
Push the handle down.
Cleaning the dust container
Clean the dust container as required.
Clean the dust container using water
and liquid dish soap.
Dry the dust container carefully.
Cleaning the filter
frame(Figs. 24 + 25)
A removable filter frame is located in the
dust container. This should be cleaned
if it is obviously dirty.
Place the emptied and open dust
container on its front.
Release the filter frame and remove it.
Empty the filter frame and rinse it un-
der cold running water.
Do not use detergent!
Do not use any sharp or pointed objects!
Dry the filter frame carefully!
Place the dry filter frame in the dust
container so that it audibly clicks into
place.
Cleaning the fine dust filter
The fine dust filter is equipped with a
self-cleaning function. When a specified
degree of soiling is reached, the vacuum cleaner switches off automatically
for approx. 20seconds and carries out
a cleaning process. You will hear this
process running.
The ComfortClean button on the vacuum cleaner lights up yellow.
Starting the ComfortClean self-cleaning function manually(Fig. 26)
If a large amount of dust has been vacuumed at once, the ComfortClean selfcleaning function should be started
manually either during a vacuuming
pause or immediately afterward. This
enables the vacuum cleaner to achieve
the very best cleaning performance
again right away.
With the vacuum cleaner switched
on, press the ComfortClean button
for at least two seconds.
The vacuum cleaner is switched off automatically for approx. 20 seconds and
a cleaning process is carried out which
results in operational noise.
The ComfortClean button on the vacuum cleaner lights up yellow.
The vacuum cleaner will then switch
back on automatically and will operate
with the previously selected setting.
17
en-US
We also recommend emptying and
cleaning the fine dust container once or
twice a year (see "Fault resolution Cleaning the fine dust filter manually").
When to change the thread catchers?
(only possible for models with a reversible floorhead included as standard)
The thread catchers on the suction inlet
of the reversible floorhead can be replaced. Check them from time to time
and replace them if the pile has worn
down.
How to replace the thread lifters
(Fig. 27)
Use a suitable screwdriver to remove
the thread lifters from the slots.
Fit new thread lifters.
Cleaning the roller on the AllTeQ
floorhead (Fig. 28)
(depending on model)
Clean the roller on the floorhead if re-
quired.
Release the bearing (with bayonet fit-
ting) using a coin.
Cleaning and care
Always switch off the vacuum
cleaner before cleaning it and unplug
the power chord from the wall
socket.
Vacuum cleaner and accessories
The vacuum cleaner and all plastic accessories can be cleaned with a proprietary cleaner suitable for use on plastic.
Follow the special cleaning instructions for the dust container and filter
frame in "Maintenance" and for the
fine dust filter, the pre-filter and the
fine dust container in "Frequently
asked questions".
Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents, glass cleaning agents, allpurpose cleaners or oil-based conditioning agents!
Do not let the vacuum cleaner
get wet. If moisture gets into the appliance, there is a risk of electric
shock.
Press the bearing out, and remove.
Remove the roller.
Remove any threads and hair, replace
the roller and refit the bearing, locking
it back into position.
Replacement parts are available from

This warranty only applies while the product remains within the United States, and shall be null and void in any other
US territories, possessions, or foreign countries.
What is not covered by this Warranty
This warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by or resulting from repairs, service or alterations to the
product or any of its parts or accessories which have been performed by service centers or repairmen not authorized
by Miele, or damage or defects caused by negligence, accident, abuse, misuse, improper or abnormal usage or
maintenance of the product, its parts or accessories. Ordinary wear and tear or cosmetic damage (scuffs, scratches,
gouges, dents, etc.) shall not be considered a defect in materials or workmanship.
Exclusion of Other Warranties
Except for the limited warranty provided herein, Miele disclaims any and all other express warranties with respect to
the product. Any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose is limited in its duration to the term of
the limited warranty provided herein. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
the above limitation may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability for Special, Incidental or Consequential Damages
Miele will assume no liability, or other obligation with respect to any personal injury or property damage resulting
from the use of a vacuum cleaner, or its accessories, replacement parts, etc., which has not been purchased from,
or serviced by an Authorized Miele Dealer. Any purchaser who obtains a vacuum cleaner, accessories, replacement
parts, etc., from someone other than an Authorized Miele dealer proceeds at their own risk.
Miele specifically disclaims any and all liability, whether directly or by way of indemnity, for special incidental,
consequential or other damages, whether based on breach of contract, tort, strict or product liability, or any other
legal theory.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation
may not apply to you.
Special State Laws
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may have other rights, which vary, from state to state.
