IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use
Do not use on people or animals.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only Miele recommended accessories described in this manual.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner without a filter bag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter. Otherwise it may be damaged.
If there is no dust bag in place, you cannot close the dust compartment lid. Do not use any force.
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces. Only dry surfaces should be vacuumed.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up liquids or damp dirt. This can lead to significant malfunctions; in addition it could impair the electrical safety of the vacuum cleaner. Wait for freshly shampooed carpets to dry before vacuuming.
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers can conduct electricity. In addition, it may not be completely filtered out by the filter system of the vacuum cleaner and can thus be blown back in the air by the fan.
Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes. The vacuum cleaner could catch fire.
Do not vacuum flammable or combustible liquids, or vacuum in areas where they may be present. The vacuum cleaner could explode.
Do not vacuum items which are heavy, hard or have sharp edges. They could cause a blockage and damage the vacuum cleaner.
Unwind the cord completely to aid the vacuum in dissipating heat.
This vacuum should not be used to entrap or retain any hazardous materials.
Do not pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the appliance over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not handle the plug or vacuum with wet hands.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
Do not place anything into the openings of the vacuum. Do not use if any openings are blocked; keep them free of dust, lint, hair or anything that may reduce air flow.
Use caution when vacuuming on stairs.
