The powerbrush, electric wands
and electric hoses are not toys. Do
not allow children to play with them,
and pay close attention if they are used
on or around children.
If the appliances are not working
correctly, have been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or immersed in
water, do not use them. Bring them to
your Miele dealer for servicing.
Do not run the powerbrush over the
vacuum cleaner cord or extension
cords, and keep it away from heated
surfaces.
Do not handle the appliance with
wet hands.
Turn off all controls before
unplugging the vacuum or
powerbrush.
Do not use the powerbrush to
vacuum anything that may damage
the rollers. Nails, safety pins, buttons,
etc. should not be vacuumed.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers
and all parts of the body away from
any openings or moving parts, and
never touch a rotating roller brush.
Use extra care when vacuuming
while on stairs.
Do not use the vacuum to pick up
flammable or combustible liquids,
such as gasoline, or use it in areas
where fumes may be present.
Do not use the vacuum or
powerbrush to pick up liquids. This

Should this occur, unplug the vacuum
cleaner before correcting the problem.
Allow 2 - 3 minutes for this safety
feature to reset itself before restarting
the vacuum.
Use only Miele attachments and
accessories. Use of non-Miele

dangerous.
