IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, always observe basic safety precautions, in- cluding the following:
READ THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE USING THE VACUUM CLEANER FOR THE FIRST TIME. PLEASE KEEP THESE OPER- ATING INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This vacuum is intended for household use only. Do not use it on people or animals.
WARNING -
The manufacturer cannot accept re- sponsibility for damage caused by improper use, or if the vacuum is used for purposes other than those for which it was designed. Use the vacuum only as described in this manual.
To reduce the risk of fire, elec- tric shock, or injury:
Do not use the vacuum outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Check the voltage rating of the vacuum cleaner before connecting
the power cord to an electrical outlet. Your power supply should correspond to the voltage rating given on the data plate located on the bottom of the vac- uum cleaner. Use only household AC outlets. Never use DC power sources. If you are unsure of the voltage supply in your area, consult a qualified electri- cian. Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a higher voltage than indicated on the data plate may result in damage to the vacuum cleaner and personal injury.
Do not leave the appliance when plugged in. Unplug it from the out-
let when not in use and before servic- ing.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.
Only dry dirt should be vacuumed with this cleaner.
Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Pay close atten-
tion when the vacuum cleaner is used by or near children.
Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not work-
ing correctly, has been dropped, dam- aged, left outdoors, or immersed in wa- ter, bring it to your Miele dealer for servicing.
