Page: 7 / 48

~
Switch the vacuum cleaner off
before changing accessories.
~
There is a metal inlay underneath
the handle which is designed to protect
the user from electrostatic discharges.
Please make sure that you keep your
hand in constant contact with this metal
strip during vacuuming.
~
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 be squashed,
for example, under a door.
– Avoid running the vacuum cleaner
over the cable.
A damaged cable, plug or socket is a
safety hazard. The appliance must not
be used if any of these have suffered
damage.
~
If the cable is damaged it must be
replaced together with a complete
cable rewind. For safety reasons this
must only be done by the Miele Service
Department or a Miele authorised ser-
vice technician.
~
Repairs should only be carried out
by a Miele authorised service
technician. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for unauthorised work.
~
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get
wet. Clean only with a dry cloth or
slightly damp cloth when disconnected
from the mains supply. If moisture gets
into the appliance, there is a risk of
electric shock.
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.
~
If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust
compartment cover does not normally
close. Do not force it.
~
Do not vacuum up any water, liquid
or damp dirt. This will cause major
faults and could seriously impair the
functioning and electrical safety of the
appliance. Wait until any freshly
cleaned or shampooed carpets or floor
coverings are completely dry before
attempting to vacuum.
~
Do not vacuum up anything which
has been burning or is still glowing e.g.
cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether
glowing or apparently extinguished.
The cleaner might catch fire.
~
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,
such as that used in printers and
photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
The filter system in the vacuum cleaner
may not filter it completely, causing the
toner to be blown back into the room by
the fan.
~
Do not vacuum up any inflammable
or combustible liquids or gases and do
not vacuum in areas where such
substances are stored. The cleaner
might explode.
~
Do not vacuum up items which are
heavy, hard or have sharp edges. They
could cause a blockage and damage
the appliance.
