Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

 The vacuum cleaner operates at 25.2V.

It is classified as a class III appliance.
This appliance is supplied by a safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
power source where the voltage is low enough to protect users from
the risk of electrical shock. A Class II charger is used for supplying
power to charge the vacuum cleaner.

 Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories, check for

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

 Compare the connection data on the data plate of the charger

(voltage and frequency) with that of the mains electricity supply. This
data must match exactly. Without modifications, the charger is suit­able for 50Hz and 60Hz.

 The mains electrical plug must be fitted with an appropriate fuse.
 The MieleMultiFloorXXLElectrobrush and the MieleElec-

troCompacthandheldbrush (varies according to the model) are ad­ditional motor-driven devices designed specially for this Miele va­cuum cleaner. For safety reasons, the vacuum cleaner must not be
used with a different MieleElectrobrush/handheld brush or an Elec­trobrush/handheld brush produced by another manufacturer.

 Store the vacuum cleaner at an ambient temperature between

0°C and 45°C.

 While the vacuum cleaner is under warranty, repairs should only

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

 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.

6

Warning and Safety instructions

 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-

ine Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only
be replaced with genuine Miele replacement parts.

Cleaning

 Do not immerse the vacuum cleaner or any accessories supplied

with it in water.

 The Electrobrush/handheld brush (depending on the model), the

PowerUnit, the suction tube, the body and the Comfort handle con­tain electrical wires. The plug connectors must not come into con­tact with water. Danger of electric shock. They should only be
cleaned with a dry cloth.

 Clean the vacuum cleaner and accessories only with a dry or

slightly damp cloth when disconnected from the power supply. Ex­ception:

- Dust container: empty the dust container and remove the pre-fil­ter. Clean the dust container using water and mild washing-up li­quid only. Then dry the dust container carefully. Replace the pre­filter in the dust container.

Correct use

 Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the dust container, pre-fil-

ter, fine dust filter and motor protection filter fitted.

 Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or is still

glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, 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.

7

Warning and Safety instructions

 Do not vacuum up any inflammable or combustible liquids or

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

Warning and Safety instructions

 Stop using the AP01battery immediately if you notice an unusual

smell from it, if liquid is leaking from it, if it is significantly overheating
or if it is discoloured or deformed. Dispose of the AP01battery im­mediately (see safety notice “Disposing of the AP01battery” at the
end of this chapter as well as “Caring for the environment” – “Dis­posing of old batteries”).

 Batteries will deplete over time. They can then leak corrosive flu-

ids. Avoid contact with the eyes and skin. In the event of contact,
rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice.

 Please contact Miele Service before sending the AP01 battery.

Correct use

 Do not drop or throw the AP01battery. For safety reasons, do not

continue to use an AP01battery which has been damaged.

 Keep the AP01 battery away from naked flames or other heat

sources. Do not heat the AP01 battery. Do not expose the re­chargeable battery to direct sunlight.

 Do not dismantle the AP01 battery.
 Do not cause a short circuit by bridging the contacts of the AP01

battery, either unintentionally or deliberately.

 Do not allow the AP01battery to come into contact with liquids.
 Disposing of the AP01 battery: remove the AP01 battery from the

vacuum cleaner. Insulate the metal contacts with adhesive tape to
prevent short circuits. Dispose of the AP01 battery in a municipal re­cycling facility. Do not dispose of the AP01 battery with your house­hold waste.

Caring for the environment

3E&G+J

Disposal of the packing mater­ial

The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur­ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposing of your old appli­ance

Before disposing of your old vacuum
cleaner, remove the fine dust filter and
dispose of it with your household
waste.

Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com­pounds and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old vacuum
cleaner with your household waste.

Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle elec­trical and electronic appliances in your
local community, with your dealer or

with Miele. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Disposing of old batteries

In many cases, electrical and electronic
appliances contain batteries which
must not be disposed of with house­hold waste after use. You are legally ob­liged (depending on country) to remove
any old batteries which are not securely
enclosed by the vacuum cleaner and to
take them to a suitable collection point
(e.g. retailer) where they can be handed
in free of charge. Insulate the metal
contacts with adhesive tape to prevent
short circuits. Batteries may contain
substances which can be hazardous to
human health and the environment.

The labelling on the battery will provide
further information. The bin symbol with
a cross through it means that the bat­teries must not be disposed of in
household waste. A bin with a cross
through it which also has one or more
chemical symbols on it indicates that
the battery contains lead (Pb), cadmium
(Cd) and/or mercury (Hg).

Old batteries contain valuable raw ma­terials which can be recycled. Dispos­ing of batteries separately makes them
easier to handle and recycle.
