Technical safety
~
Check the voltage rating of the
vacuum cleaner before connecting the
power cord to an electrical outlet. Your
power source should correspond with
the voltage rating plate located on the
underside of the vacuum. Use only
household AC outlets. Never use DC
power sources. If you are not sure of
your home’s voltage supply, consult a
qualified electrician. Connecting the
vacuum cleaner to a higher voltage
may result in damage to the vacuum
cleaner or injury.
~
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other.) This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not alter the
plug in any way.
~
Before using the vacuum cleaner,
check for externally visible damage. Do
not use a damaged vacuum cleaner.
~
A damaged vacuum cleaner is
dangerous to your safety.
~
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the
power cable is damaged. A damaged
power cable is dangerous to your safety.
~
The electrical outlet must be fitted
with a 15 A fuse.
~
Always turn the vacuum cleaner off
when you have finished using it, as well
as before any maintenance work and
cleaning. Unplug the vacuum cleaner
from the electrical outlet.
~
Do not pull or carry by the cord, use
the cord as a handle to carry the
vacuum cleaner and do not pull the
plug out by pulling on the cord. Do not
pull the cord around sharp edges or
corners, for example under doors.
The power cable, plug and outlet can be
damaged and endanger your safety.
You may not use the vacuum cleaner
then under any circumstances.
~
Replace a damaged power cord
only with a genuine Miele cord. For
safety reasons, the exchange should
be made only by an authorized Miele
technician or the Miele Customer
Service Department.
~
While the vacuum cleaners under
warranty, repairs should only be
performed by a Miele authorized
service technician.
~
The outlet on the vacuum cleaner
(depending on model) must only be
used for the Miele Powerbrush
specified in these operating
instructions.
~
Never submerge the vacuum
cleaner in water. Clean with a dry or
slightly damp cloth. If moisture gets into
the vacuum cleaner there is the risk of
electric shock.
