~
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 work must be done by the
Miele Service Department or a Miele authorised service technician.
~
When vacuuming especially fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand,
plaster, flour, talcum powder etc., electrostatic charges build up
naturally. 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 could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised
work.
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 the dustbag is not fitted correctly, the dust compartment cover
does not normally close. Do not force it.
~
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or is still
glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether glowing or
apparently extinguished.
~
Do not vacuum up any water, liquid or damp dirt. Wait until any
freshly cleaned or shampooed carpets or floor coverings are
completely dry before attempting to vacuum.
