Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. It is essential that they match to avoid damage to the appliance.
The plug must be fitted with a 13 A fuse (UK).
Before using the vacuum cleaner, check for any signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance: it could be dangerous.
There is a metal inlay underneath the handle which is designed to avoid the unpleasant effects of electrostatic discharges. Please make sure that you keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during vacuuming.
Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the cable and be careful not to damage the cable when withdrawing the plug from the socket.
Keep the cable away from sharp edges and do not let it be squashed, for example, under a door.
Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over the cable.
This could damage the cable, plug or socket and pose a safety hazard. The appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered damage.
If the cable is damaged it must be replaced together with a complete cable rewind. For safety reasons this must only be done by the Miele Service Department or a Miele authorised ser- vice technician.
While the vacuum cleaner is under guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by Miele. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.
Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorised service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
It is important to switch the vacuum cleaner off before changing over accessories and floorheads, especially an Electro- or Turbobrush.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. 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.
