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.

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.

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.
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.
