~
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 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 filter bag change
indicator and inspect all filters regularly.
For best performance, the filter bag
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 socket on the vacuum cleaner is
only to be used with the Miele
Powerbrush.
~
Unplug the vacuum when changing
accessories, especially when using the
Powerbrush.
~
The Miele Powerbrush is a
motor-driven accessory for use only
with Miele vacuum cleaners. The
vacuum must not be used with another
manufacturer's Powerbrush.
~
Do not use the vacuum without an
accessory attached. The rim could be
damaged and injuries could result from
sharp edges.
~
Miele filter bags are disposable and
intended to be used only once. Do not
attempt to reuse them. An over stuffed
filter bag will reduce the efficiency of
the vacuum cleaner.
