
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with a
dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from
the electrical supply.

Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele-authorized
service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons can cause considerable danger to users.

Defective components should be replaced by Miele orig-
inal parts only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer
guarantee the safety of the appliance.
Proper use

To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum
cleaner without the FilterBag, dust compartment filter and
exhaust filter in place.

The dust compartment cover will not close without a Fil-
terBag inserted. Do not force it.

Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction
get anywhere near a person's head.

Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or
smoking, e.g., cigarettes, ashes or hot ash, whether glow-
ing or apparently extinguished.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water,
liquid or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or sham-
pooed rugs or carpets are completely dry before attempt-
ing to vacuum.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust.
Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers, can
conduct electricity.
