    							Disposal of packing material
    The packaging is designed to protect
    the vacuum cleaner from damage
    during transportation. The packaging
    materials used are selected from
    materials which are environmentally
    friendly for disposal and should be
    recycled.
    Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
    bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
    kept out of the reach of babies and
    young children. Danger of suffocation.
    Disposing of the dustbag and
    filters
    These are made from environmentally
    friendly materials. The filters can be
    disposed of with the normal household
    waste. The dustbag can also be
    disposed of in this way if it has been
    used exclusively for general household
    dust.
    Disposing of your old
    appliance
    Before disposing of your old appliance
    remove the dustbag and all the filters
    and dispose of them with your 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 appliance.
    Please do not therefore dispose of it
    with your household waste.
    Please dispose of it at your local
    community waste collection/recycling
    centre, or contact your dealer for
    advice.
    Ensure that it presents no danger to
    children while being stored for
    disposal.

    							This vacuum cleaner meets 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 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 it off at the wall socket and unplug it.
    Correct application
    This vacuum cleaner is not designed for commercial use. It is
    intended for use in domestic households and for use in similar
    working and residential environments.
    The vacuum cleaner is not intended for outdoor use.
    The vacuum cleaner must only be used for domestic household
    purposes to vacuum dry floor surfaces. Do not use on people or
    animals. Any other usage, modification or alteration is not supported
    by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
    This appliance 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 correctly by a person responsible for their
    safety.
    Warning and Safety instructions
    6 
    						
    							Safety with children
    This vacuum cleaner is not a toy! To prevent the risk of injury, do
    not let children play with the appliance or its controls.
    Children 8 years and older may use, clean or maintain the vacuum
    cleaner without adult supervision only if they have been shown how to
    do so in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
    Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
    appliance unless they are constantly supervised.
    Models with radio controls on the handle: Keep batteries out of
    the reach of children.
    Technical safety
    Ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and
    frequency) match the mains electricity supply exactly.
    Before using the vacuum cleaner, check for any visible signs of
    damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
    The plug must be fitted with a 13 A fuse (UK).
    While the vacuum cleaner is under guarantee, repairs should only
    be undertaken by a service technician authorised by Miele.
    Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.
    Do not pull or carry the appliance 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 is any of these have suffered
    damage.
    Warning and Safety instructions
    7 
    						
    							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 the
    Miele Service Department or a Miele authorised service technician.
    The socket on the vacuum cleaner (depending on model) must only
    be used for the Miele Electrobrush specified for use with this appliance.
    When vacuuming especially 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 could be
    dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised
    work.
    Correct use
    Floor attachments, accessories and tubes must not be used at
    head level to avoid the risk of injury, e.g. to eyes and ears.
    To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum cleaner without
    the dustbag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter in place.
    If the dustbag is not fitted correctly, the dust compartment cover
    does not normally close. Do not force it.
    Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or is still
    glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether glowing or
    apparently extinguished.
    Warning and Safety instructions
    8 
    						
    							Do not 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 vacuum toner dust. Toner, such as that used in printers
    and photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
    Do not vacuum up any inflammable or combustible matter or gases
    and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored.
    Important information on the handling of batteries (for models with
    radio controls on the handle):
    – Do not short circuit or recharge batteries, or throw them into a fire.
    – Disposing of batteries: Remove the batteries from the radio control
    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
    Electrobrush or Turbobrush, do not touch the rotating roller brush.
    The Miele Electrobrush is a motor driven accessory for use only
    with Miele vacuum cleaners. The vacuum cleaner must not be used
    with an electrobrush produced by another manufacturer.
    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 genuine dustbags, filters, accessories and optional
    accessories with the Original Miele logo on them. This will ensure
    optimum performance of the appliance throughout its life.
    The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by
    incorrect use or operation or by non-compliance with these
    Warning and Safety instructions.
