Warning and Safety instructions
5

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.

When vacuuming, in particular fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand,
plaster, flour, talcum powder etc., electrostatic charges build up nat-
urally. 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. If your vacuum cleaner is fitted with an Eco
Comfort handle, make sure you hold it by the bowed section as this
is where this metal strip is incorporated.

Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorised service
technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons can cause
considerable danger to users.

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
