Warning and Safety instructions

 It is essential to read these instructions.

This vacuum cleaner conforms to current safety requirements. In-

appropriate use can lead to personal injury and damage to prop-

erty.

Please read the operating instructions before using the vacuum

cleaner for the first time. They contain important information on the

safety, use and maintenance of the vacuum cleaner. This will pre-

vent both personal injury and damage to the appliance.

In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and

strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the

“Connection” chapter as well as the safety instructions and warn-

ings.

Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-

compliance with these instructions.

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them

on to any future owner.

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, cleaning and troubleshooting.

Switch off at the wall socket and unplug it.

Correct application

 This vacuum cleaner is intended for cleaning flooring in domestic

households and similar residential environments. This vacuum

cleaner is not suitable for use on construction sites.

 This vacuum cleaner is not intended for outdoor use.

 This vacuum cleaner can be used for all normal cleaning of car-

pets, rugs and robust hard flooring.

Warning and Safety instructions

 This vacuum cleaner is intended for use at altitudes of up to

4000m above sea level.

 The vacuum cleaner must only be used to vacuum dry floor sur-

faces. Do not vacuum people or animals. Any other types of use,

modifications or alterations are not permitted.

 The vacuum cleaner can only be used by people (including chil-

dren) 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 in a safe way and understand and re-

cognise the consequences of incorrect operation.

Safety with children

 Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be

kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children

could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and

suffocate.

 Young children must be kept away from the vacuum cleaner un-

less they are constantly supervised.

 Older children may only use the vacuum cleaner without supervi-

sion if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner. Chil-

dren must be able to understand and recognise the possible dangers

caused by incorrect operation.

 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the vacuum

cleaner unsupervised.

 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the vacuum cleaner and

do not let them play with it.

Technical safety

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

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

Warning and Safety instructions

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

cleaner (mains voltage and frequency) with that of the mains electri-

city supply. This data must match exactly. Without modifications, the

vacuum cleaner is suitable for 50Hz or 60Hz.

 The mains electrical outlet must be fitted with an appropriate cir-

cuit breaker.

 Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-

mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,

back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that

the energy supply system complies with all current local and national

requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery sys-

tems.

The protective measures provided in the domestic installation and in

this Miele product must also be assured in their function and opera-

tion in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or

replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.

 Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the cable, and be care-

ful 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 if any of these have suffered dam-

age.

 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 must only be done by Miele

Service or a Miele authorised service technician.

 Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service

technician. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.

 Repairs and other work by unqualified persons can cause consid-

erable danger to users.

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.

 The packaging material protects the vacuum cleaner from trans-

port damage. We recommend you keep the packaging for transport

purposes.

Cleaning

 Do not immerse the vacuum cleaner or any accessories supplied

with it in water.

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

slightly damp cloth and mild washing-up liquid.

Exception for fine dust filter:

if the dust filter is heavily soiled, you can rinse the pleated side of the

filter and the filter mat under cold running water.

Do not use washing-up liquid or cleaning brushes. Do not use sharp

or pointed objects. After cleaning, allow the fine dust filter and the fil-

ter mat to dry in a well ventilated room for a minimum of 24hours,

placing the filter with the pleated side facing up.

Correct use

 Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the dust container, fine

dust filter with filter mat, filter frame, pre-filter, dust compartment

seal and exhaust filter.

 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 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.

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.

 Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction get any-

where near a person's head.

Accessories

 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 accessories with the “ORIGINAL Miele” logo on

the packaging. The manufacturer cannot otherwise guarantee the

safety of the product.

Caring for the environment

Disposing of sales packaging

The packaging material protects the va-

cuum cleaner from transport damage.

The packaging materials used are se-

lected from materials which are environ-

mentally friendly for disposal and can

therefore be recycled.

Recycling the packaging material re-

duces the use of raw materials in the

manufacturing process and also re-

duces the amount of waste in landfill

sites. Ensure that any plastic wrap-

pings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely

and kept out of the reach of babies and

young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old appli-

ance

Before disposing of your old appliance,

remove the fine dust filter including the

filter mat and the exhaust filter and dis-

pose of them with your household

waste.

Electrical and electronic 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 human health and to the environment

if disposed of with household waste or

if handled incorrectly. Please do not,

therefore, dispose of your old appliance

with household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local com-

munity waste collection / recycling

centre for electrical and electronic ap-

pliances, or contact your dealer or

Miele for advice. Please ensure that

your old appliance poses no risk to chil-

dren while being stored prior to dis-

posal.
