    							When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
    including the following:
    READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
    USING THIS APPLIANCE
    The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by
    non-compliance of these Important Safety Instructions.
    WARNING-
    To reduce the risk of fire, electric
    shock or injury:
    Before using
    ~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.
    ~A damaged vacuum cleaner can be
    dangerous. Check the packaging,
    vacuum cleaner and accessories for
    any signs of damage. Do not use a
    damaged appliance.
    ~Do not use with a damaged cord or
    plug. If the appliance is not working as
    it should, has been dropped, damaged,
    left outdoors or submerged in water,
    bring it to a service center.
    ~The electrical outlet must be fitted
    with a 15 A fuse.
    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    4 
    						
    							Use
    ~Do not use on people or animals.
    ~Do not use outdoors or on wet
    surfaces. Only drysurfaces should be
    vacuumed.
    ~Use only as described in this
    manual with recommended
    accessories.
    ~The manufacturer cannot be held
    responsible for damage caused by
    non-compliance with these Important
    Safety Instructions. This appliance is
    intended strictly for household use only.
    ~Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to
    be used as a toy. Close attention is
    necessary when used near children.
    ~Never use the vacuum cleaner
    without the dustbag or filters in place.
    Otherwise it could be damaged.
    ~If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust
    compartment lid will not close. Do not
    force it shut.
    ~Do not leave the vacuum plugged
    in. Unplug it from the outlet when not in
    use and before servicing.
    ~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.
    ~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.
    ~Unwind the cord completely to aid
    the vacuum cleaner in dissipating heat.
    ~This vacuum should not be used to
    entrap or retain any hazardous
    materials.
    ~Do not use the vacuum cleaner to
    pick up liquids or damp dirt. This could
    impair the electrical safety of the
    vacuum cleaner. Wait for freshly
    shampooed carpets to dry.
    ~Do not vacuum anything that is
    burning or smoking such as cigarettes,
    matches or hot ashes. The vacuum
    cleaner could catch fire.
    ~Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,
    such as that used in printers and
    photocopiers can conduct electricity.
    ~Do not use to pick up any flammable
    or combustible liquids, such as
    gasoline, or use in areas where they
    may be present. The vacuum cleaner
    could explode.
    ~Do not vacuum up items which are
    heavy, hard or have sharp edges. They
    could cause a blockage and damage
    the appliance.
    ~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.
    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    5 
    						
    							~Do not unplug by pulling on the
    cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the
    cord.
    ~Do not handle the plug or vacuum
    with wet hands.
    ~Keep the power cord, hair, loose
    clothing, fingers and all parts of the
    body away from openings and moving
    parts.
    ~Do not place anything into the
    openings of the vacuum cleaner. Do
    not use if any openings are blocked;
    keep them free of dust, lint, hair, or
    anything that may reduce air flow.
    ~This appliance is equipped with a
    power cord reel. Hold plug when
    rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow
    plug to whip when rewinding.
    ~Turn off all controls before
    unplugging.
    ~Use extra care when cleaning on
    stairs.
    ~Floor attachments, accessories and
    wands must not be used at head level
    to avoid injury to eyes and ears.
    ~Monitor the dustbag change
    indicator and inspect all filters regularly.
    For best performance, the dustbag
    and filters should be replaced when
    necessary. A full bag or blocked filter
    will reduce the vacuum cleaner’s
    suction power. A temperature limiter
    automatically switches the vacuum
    cleaner off if it gets too hot, see
    Frequently asked questions.
    Using accessories
    ~The hose and the telescopic wand
    contain electrical wires. Do not use the
    vacuum cleaner if these parts are
    damaged, cut or punctured. Avoid
    picking up sharp objects. Danger of
    electric shock!
    ~Unplug the vacuum when changing
    accessories, especially the Turbobrush,
    and Powerbrush.
    ~To avoid the risk of injury when
    vacuuming with a Miele Power or
    Turbobrush do not touch the rotating
    roller brush. Danger of injury.
    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    6 
    						
    							~The socket on the vacuum cleaner
    (depending on model) must only be
    used for the Miele Powerbrush
    specified for use with this appliance.
    ~Danger of injury. The Miele
    Powerbrush is a motor driven
    accessory for use only with Miele
    vacuum cleaners. The vacuum cleaner
    must not be used with another
    manufacturer’s powerbrush.
    ~Do not use the vacuum cleaner
    without an accessory attached. The rim
    could be damaged and injuries could
    result from sharp edges.
    ~Miele dust bags are disposable and
    intended to be used only once. Do not
    attempt to reuse. An over stuffed
    dustbag will reduce the efficiency of the
    vacuum cleaner.
    ~Only use genuine Miele dustbags
    with the Miele quality signet and
    original Miele filters and accessories.
    Only then will the manufacturer
    guarantee its safety.
    Cleaning, maintenance and
    repairs
    ~Turn the vacuum cleaner off after
    each use and before every cleaning /
    maintenance. Pull the plug from the
    outlet.
    ~Never submerge the vacuum
    cleaner in water. Clean only with a dry
    cloth or slightly damp cloth when
    disconnected from the mains supply. If
    moisture gets into the appliance there
    is a risk of electric shock.
    ~The electro-suction hose and the
    telescopic wand contain electrical
    wires. The plug connectors must not
    come in contact with water. These
    items may only be cleaned with a dry
    cloth, no moisture can touch them.
    Danger of electric shock.
    ~Repairs must only be performed by
    an authorized service agent in
    accordance with national and local
    safety regulations. Unauthorized repairs
    could cause injury or machine damage.
    The manufacturer cannot be held
    responsible for unauthorized work.
    ~If the power cord is damaged it
    should be replaced along with a new
    cable reel by Miele Technical Service.
    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.
