IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

￿Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

￿Do not handle the plug or vacuum with wet hands.

￿Keep the power cord, hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.

￿Do not place anything into the

openings of the vacuum cleaner. Do not use if any openings are blocked; keep them free of dust, lint, hair, or anything that may reduce air flow.

￿This appliance is equipped with a power cord reel. Hold plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow plug to whip when rewinding.

￿Turn off all controls before unplugging.

￿Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

￿Floor attachments, accessories and wands must not be used at head level to avoid injury to eyes and ears.

￿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".

Using accessories

￿The hose and the telescopic wand contain electrical wires. Do not use the vacuum cleaner if these parts are damaged, cut or punctured. Avoid picking up sharp objects. Danger of electric shock!

￿Unplug the vacuum when changing accessories, especially the Hose, Telescopic wand, Turbobrush and Powerbrush.

￿To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele Power or Turbobrush do not touch the rotating roller brush. Danger of injury.

￿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 cleaner without an accessory attached. The rim could be damaged and injuries could result from sharp edges.

￿Miele dustbags 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.

S5981 specifications

The Miele S5981 is a premium canister vacuum cleaner designed to deliver exceptional cleaning performance while maintaining user convenience and comfort. Known for its robust construction and innovative technologies, the S5981 is ideal for a variety of home cleaning tasks.

One of its standout features is the powerful Miele Vortex motor, which generates a strong suction that effectively lifts dust and debris from carpets and hard floors. This motor is engineered for exceptional efficiency, ensuring that the vacuum operates quietly without compromising on performance. The S5981 is equipped with a six-stage suction control, allowing users to adjust the power according to the surface being cleaned, whether it's delicate upholstery or sturdy carpets.

The vacuum includes a comprehensive set of attachments that cater to various cleaning needs. The electrobrush is specifically designed for deep-cleaning carpets, while the parquet brush is ideal for sealed hard floors, ensuring optimal care. A combination floor head allows seamless transitions between different floor types, enhancing versatility.

Another notable feature is the Miele AirClean filtration system that captures 99.9% of fine dust particles. This is particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers, as it helps to maintain indoor air quality by preventing allergens from being released back into the atmosphere. The vacuum comes with a sealed system, meaning that dust and dirt remain contained within, providing users with both efficiency and peace of mind.

Miele’s emphasis on ergonomics is evident in the S5981's design. The vacuum is lightweight and features a comfortable handle, making it easy to maneuver around furniture and tight spaces. The integrated carrying handle further enhances mobility, allowing users to transport the vacuum with ease. Additionally, the 33-foot operating radius minimizes the need to switch power outlets during cleaning tasks.

Durability is a hallmark of Miele appliances, and the S5981 is no exception. Each unit is tested for a lifespan of 20 years, underscoring the brand’s commitment to quality. With its classic design and vibrant color options, the Miele S5981 not only functions superbly but also looks good in any home setting.
