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

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.

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.

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.
The socket on the vacuum cleaner must only be used
for the Miele Electrobrushes listed in these operating instructions.
The Miele Powerbrush is a motor driven accessory for
use only with Miele vacuum cleaners. For safety reasons,
the vacuum cleaner must not be used with an Powerbrush
produced by another manufacturer.
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.
5
en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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, 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.
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.

en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning
Do not let the vacuum cleaner, the Electrobrush, the
telescopic wand and the suction hose get wet.
The Electrobrush, telescopic wand and suction hose
contain electrical wires. The plug connectors must not
come into contact with water - damp cleaning of these
items is therefore not permitted.
Clean only with a dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when
disconnected from the power supply. Exception:
– 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.
7
en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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
Powerbrush or 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.

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. 10)
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. 11)
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

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 you are vacuuming a large amount of
dust 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.
