IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The socket on the vacuum cleaner (depending on model) must only be used for the Miele Powerbrush specified for use with this appliance.
Danger of injury. The Miele Powerbrush is a motor driven accessory for use only with Miele vacuum cleaners. The vacuum cleaner must not be used with another manufacturer’s powerbrush.
Do not use the vacuum without an accessory attached. The rim could be damaged and injuries could result from sharp edges.
Miele dust bags are disposable and intended to be used only once. Do not attempt to reuse. An over stuffed dustbag will reduce the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner.
Only use genuine Miele dustbags with the Miele quality signet and original Miele filters and accessories. Only then will the manufacturer guarantee its safety.
Cleaning, maintenance and repairs
Turn the vacuum cleaner off after each use and before every cleaning / maintenance. Pull the plug from the outlet.
Never submerge the vacuum cleaner in water. 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.
Monitor the dustbag change indicator and inspect all filters regularly. For best performance, the dustbag and filters should be replaced when necessary. A full bag or blocked filter will reduce the vacuum cleaner’s suction power. A temperature limiter automatically switches the vacuum cleaner off if it gets too hot, see "Frequently asked questions".
Repairs must only be performed by an authorized service agent in accordance with national and local safety regulations. Unauthorized repairs could cause injury or machine damage. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for unauthorized work.
If the power cord is damaged it should be replaced along with a new cable reel by Miele Technical Service.
Disposal
Remove the battery from the radio handpiece and recycle it.
Before discarding an old vacuum cleaner, please cut off the power cord and render the plug useless. Ensure the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
