
When vacuuming, in particular 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. 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.
 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 can cause considerable danger to users.
Correct use
 To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum
cleaner without the dustbag, dust compartment filter and
exhaust filter in place.

The dust compartment cover will not close without a
dustbag fitted. Do not force it.
 Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or
is still glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether glow-
ing or apparently extinguished.
