IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4
This vacuum cleaner complies with current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and dam-
age 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, op-
eration 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 cleaning. Turn the vacuum
cleaner off and unplug it.
Correct use
This vacuum cleaner is intended for cleaning flooring in domestic
households and similar residential environments.
This vacuum cleaner can be used for all normal cleaning of car-
pets, rugs and hard flooring.
This vacuum cleaner is not intended for outdoor use.
This vacuum cleaner is intended for use at altitudes of up to
1300ft (4000m) above sea level.
The vacuum cleaner must only be used to vacuum dry floor sur-
faces. Do not use on people and animals. Any other usage, modifi-
cation or alteration is not supported by the manufacturer and could
be dangerous.
Persons which lack physical, sensory or mental abilities or experi-
ence with the machine should not use it without supervision or in-
struction by a responsible person.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5
Safety with children
Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, 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 atten-
tion is necessary when used near children.
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.
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. Otherwise the war-
ranty will be void.
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 dam-
age.
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 Techni-
cal Service or a Miele authorized service technician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6
When vacuuming, in particular fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plas-
ter, 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 incor-
porated into the underside of the handle. Please make sure that you
keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during vacu-
uming.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with a dry cloth
or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from the electrical supply.
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 original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the
safety of the appliance.
Proper use
To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum cleaner with-
out the FilterBag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter in place.
The dust compartment cover will not close without a FilterBag in-
serted. Do not force it.
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or smoking,
e.g., cigarettes, ashes or hot ash, whether glowing or apparently ex-
tinguished.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water, liquid or
damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed rugs or car-
pets 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction get any-
where near a person's head.
Accessories
To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele turbo-
brush, 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 genuine FilterBags, filters and accessories with the
"Original Miele" logo on them. Otherwise the manufacturer cannot
guarantee the safety of the product.

Caring for the environment
10
Disposal of the packing mate-
rial
The cardboard box and packing materi-
als protect the appliance during ship-
ping. They have been designed to be
biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children. Dan-
ger of suffocation!
Disposing of the FilterBags
and filters
Filterbags and filters are made from en-
vironmentally friendly materials, and can
be disposed of with the normal house-
hold waste, as long as they have been
used exclusively for general household
dust.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Before disposing of your old appliance
remove the FilterBag and filters and dis-
pose of them with your household
waste.
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds 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 appliance
with general waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle electri-
cal and electronic appliances. By law,
you are solely responsible for deleting
any personal data from the appliance
prior to disposal. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to chil-
dren while being stored for disposal.
