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

Allergy Cosmos | Tel: 0800 0148 667 | Web: www.AllergyCosmos.co.uk

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

Allergy Cosmos | Tel: 0800 0148 667 | Web: www.AllergyCosmos.co.uk

~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

Allergy Cosmos | Tel: 0800 0148 667 | Web: www.AllergyCosmos.co.uk

~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.
