Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Before disposing of your old vacuum
cleaner, remove the fine dust filter and
dispose of it with your household
waste.
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old vacuum
cleaner with your household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle elec-
trical and electronic appliances in your
local community, with your dealer or
with Miele. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Disposing of old batteries
In many cases, electrical and electronic
appliances contain batteries which
must not be disposed of with house-
hold waste after use. You are legally ob-
liged (depending on country) to remove
any old batteries which are not securely
enclosed by the vacuum cleaner and to
take them to a suitable collection point
(e.g. retailer) where they can be handed
in free of charge. Batteries may contain
substances which can be hazardous to
human health and the environment.
The labelling on the battery will provide
further information. The bin symbol with
a cross through it means that the bat-
teries must not be disposed of in
household waste. A bin with a cross
through it which also has one or more
chemical symbols on it indicates that
the battery contains lead (Pb), cadmium
(Cd) and/or mercury (Hg).

Old batteries contain valuable raw ma-
terials which can be recycled. Dispos-
ing of batteries separately makes them
easier to handle and recycle.
