your home’s voltage supply, consult a
qualified electrician. Connecting the
vacuum cleaner to a higher voltage
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.
Before using the vacuum cleaner,
~
check for externally visible damage. Do
not use a damaged vacuum cleaner.
A damaged vacuum cleaner is
~
dangerous for your safety.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the
~
power cable is damaged. A damaged
power cable is dangerous to your safety.
Do not pull or carry by the cord, use
~
the cord as a handle to carry the
vacuum cleaner and do not pull the
plug out by pulling on the cord. Do not
pull the cord around sharp edges or
corners, for example under doors.
The power cable, plug and outlet can be
damaged and endanger your safety.
You may not use the vacuum cleaner
then under any circumstances.

lead to significant malfunctions; in
addition it could impair the electrical
safety of the vacuum cleaner. Wait for
freshly shampooed carpets to dry
before vacuuming.
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,
~
such as that used in printers and
photocopiers can conduct electricity. In
addition, it may not be completely
filtered out by the filter system of the
vacuum cleaner and can thus be blown
back in the air by the fan.
Do not vacuum flammable or
~
combustible liquids, or vacuum in areas
where they may be present. The
vacuum cleaner could explode.
Do not vacuum items which are
~
heavy, hard or have sharp edges. They
could cause a blockage and damage
the vacuum cleaner.
Unwind the cord completely to aid
~
the vacuum in dissipating heat.
This vacuum should not be used to
~
entrap or retain any hazardous
materials.

en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Accessories
When vacuuming with a Miele
~
Powerbrush or Turbobrush do not touch
the rotating roller brush. There is risk of
injury.
Filter bags are disposable. Dispose
~
of full filter bags. Do not reuse. Blocked
pores reduce the suction of the vacuum
cleaner.
Only use Miele filter bags, filters and
~
accessories with the "Original Miele"
logo. The manufacturer can guarantee
safety for these only.
Turn off the vacuum cleaner if you
~
change the accessories; that is
especially important when connecting a
Powerbrush or Turbobrush.
Floor attachments, accessories and
~
wands must not be used at head level
to avoid injury to eyes and ears.
Cleaning, maintenance and
repairs
Monitor the filter bag change
~
indicator and check or change the filter
bag when the change indicator shows a
full filter bag. Inspect or replace the dust
compartment filter and exhaust filter at
this time as well. A full bag or blocked
filter will reduce the vacuum cleaner’s
suction power. A temperature limiter
automatically turns the vacuum cleaner
off if it gets too hot, see “Frequently
asked questions”.
Repairs during the warranty period
~
should only be performed by an
authorized service agent in accordance
with national and local safety
regulations. Unauthorized repairs could
cause injury or machine damage and
may void the warranty.
Disposing of an old appliance
Before discarding an old vacuum
cleaner, please cut off the power cord,
and render the plug useless. Ensure
the appliance presents no danger to
children while being stored for
disposal.

prevents it kinking at the connection to
the vacuum cleaner.
Turning the vacuum cleaner on and
off (see fig. 13 + 14)
There are two slide switches located on
the handle to turn the vacuum cleaner
on and off easily whether the vacuum
cleaner is used upright or horizontally.
Either of these slide switches can be
used to operate the vacuum cleaner.
Double slide switch
0 = vacuum cleaner is off
min. = minimum suction
Select min. for vacuuming light
weight items such as throw rugs or
curtains.

To turn the vacuum cleaner on, slide
either switch to max.
^
To turn the vacuum cleaner off, push
the slide switch to 0 until it clicks.
Adjusting the rug and floor tool to
the floor type (see fig. 15 + 16)
The rug and floor tool has been
designed to give excellent cleaning
results on either carpeted or smooth
floors. For other floor coverings, we
recommend the use of special Miele
brushes (see "Optional Accessories").
11
en
It is important, however, to observe
the cleaning and care instructions of
the floor covering manufacturer.
Vacuum carpets and rugs with
recessed bristle strip:
Press the foot switch marked %.
^
Maintenance
Always turn off and unplug the
,
vacuum cleaner before performing
any maintenance work.
The Miele filter system consists of three
components (see fig. 19).
Vacuum smooth floors with exposed
bristle strip:
Press the foot switch marked ).
^
Always vacuum floors with very
deep seams or gaps with the rug
and floor tool with exposed bristle
strip.
Parking and storing the
vacuum cleaner
There is a non-skid rubber bumper on
the vacuum cleaner handle. This allows
the vacuum cleaner to be leaned
upright against a wall if desired (see
fig. 17).
Before leaving the vacuum cleaner
make sure it is turned off and
leaning against a wall at a safe
angle.
To protect the bristle rings on the rug
and floor tool, we suggest hanging
the vacuum cleaner up.
For storage you can hang up the vacuum
cleaner easily. There is a hole for this
located on the handle (see fig. 18).
a Filter bag
b Dust compartment filter
c Exhaust filter
Each of these components must be
changed periodically to maintain the
vacuum cleaner’s efficiency.
Only use Miele filter bags, filters and
accessories with the "Original Miele"
logo. Only then can the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner reach
its optimum potential creating the
best possible cleaning results.
,
The use of filter bags made of
paper or a similar material, or filter
bags with a cardboard retaining
plate can lead to serious damage to
the vacuum cleaner and possibly
voiding the warranty, just as with the
use of filter bags without the
"Original Miele" logo.
Purchasing filter bags and filters
Original Miele filter bags and filters can
be purchased from an authorized Miele
vacuum dealer or by visiting the Miele
store at http://store.miele.com.
12
en
Which filter bags and filters are the
right ones?
Original Miele filter bags with yellow
retaining plate Type K/K and Original
Miele filters, have the "Original Miele"
logo on the packaging or directly on the
filter bags.
An "AirClean" exhaust filter and a dust
compartment filter are supplied with
every box of Miele filter bags.
If you would like to purchase additional
Miele filters separately, contact your
vacuum dealer or Miele, please quote
the model number of your Miele
vacuum cleaner to ensure correct parts
are ordered. These parts are also
available to order from the online Miele
store.
When to change the filter bag
(see fig. 20)
Change the filter bag when the colored
marker in the filter bag change
indicator is completely red.
Miele filter bags are disposable.
Dispose of full filter bags. Do not
attempt to reuse.
Blocked pores reduce the suction of
the vacuum cleaner.
Checking the filter bag change
indicator
Attach the rug and floor tool to the
^
vacuum cleaner. Other attachments
can affect the function of the filter
bag change indicator.
Turn the vacuum cleaner on and
^
select the highest power setting.
Lift the floor brush slightly off the
^
floor. If the marker completely fills
the indicator window, the filter bag
needs to be changed.
How the filter bag change indicator
works
The filter bag change indicator is
designed to show when the bag is full
of common household dust and
measures the amount of air flow
through the filter bag. Normal
household dust is a mixture of dust,
hair, carpet fluff, threads, sand, etc.
However, if fine dust, such as drill dust,
sand, plaster or flour is vacuumed, the
pores of the filter bag may become
blocked. The marker will indicate that
the bag is "full" even when it is not. The
filter bag should be changed as the
suction power is greatly reduced.
If the bag is bulging with pet fur, hair,
carpet fluff, etc. the indicator may not
register "full". This is because the air
flow of the filter bag may still be high
enough not to activate the marker to
show maximum. The filter bag should
still be changed.
13
en
How to change the filter bag
(see fig. 21, 22 + 23)
Press the dust compartment release
^
button, raise the lid until it clicks into
place.
Grasp the collar by the two finger
^
holes, move it away from the suction
nozzle and pull it out from the filter
bag holder.
The filter bag has a flap which closes
automatically to prevent dust from
escaping when the filter bag is
removed.
