Use only as described in this manual with Miele recommended accessories.
This appliance is intended for household use only.
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 toner dust. Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
Do not vacuum flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.
Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
Be aware, the cord clip can become loose over time. Do not allow children to come in contact with this small part.
Choking hazard.
Never use the vacuum cleaner without the dustbag or filters in place. It may cause damage.
If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust compartment lid will not close. Do not force it shut.
Do not leave the vacuum cleaner plugged in. Unplug it from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.
This vacuum cleaner should not be used to entrap or retain any hazardous materials.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up liquids or damp dirt. This could impair the electrical safety of the vacuum cleaner. Wait for freshly shampooed carpets to dry.
Do not vacuum items which are heavy, hard or have sharp edges. They could cause a blockage and damage the appliance.
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 the vacuum cleaner by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not handle the plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
Keep the power cord, hair, loose clothing, fingers and other 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.
