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 the dustbag and
filters
Dustbags and filters are made from en-
vironmentally friendly materials, and can
be disposed of with the normal house-
hold waste, as long as they have been
used exclusively for general household
dust.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Before disposing of your old appliance
remove the dustbag and filters and dis-
pose of them with your household
waste.
Electrical and electronic appliances of-
ten contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, com-
pounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to hu-
man health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your 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. You are also respons-
ible (by law, depending on country) for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance being disposed
of. Please ensure that your old appli-
ance poses no risk to children while be-
ing stored prior to disposal.
