IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used by or near children.
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 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 hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away from
openings and moving parts.
Turn off all controls before unplug- ging.
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.
Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as
gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up liquids, as this could impair
the electrical safety of the vacuum cleaner. Wait for freshly shampooed carpets to dry.
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as
cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers can conduct electricity.
Always turn off the vacuum before connecting or disconnecting the
Electrobrush, Turbobrush or an accessory.
Do not use without dustbag and filters in place.
Do not turn on or attempt to operate the vacuum cleaner unless a dustbag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter are in place. Only use genuine Miele
To aid the vacuum in dissipating heat during extended operation (longer than 1 hour), the power cord
should be unwound from the cable reel at least two thirds of the way.
A temperature limiter automatically switches off the vacuum cleaner if
it gets too hot, see “Frequently asked questions.”
On the underside of the vacuum hand piece is a metal insert
designed to absorb electrostatic charge. Please make certain that your hand remains around this metal insert.
