
Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the cable,
and be careful 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 appli-
ance 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.

While the vacuum cleaner is under warranty, repairs
should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service
technician. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.

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 genuine Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components must only be replaced with genuine Miele re-
placement parts.

The packaging material protects the vacuum cleaner
from transport damage. We recommend you keep the
packaging for transport purposes.
