en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the power
cord, and be careful not to damage the cord when with-
drawing the plug from the socket. Keep the cord away
from sharp edges and do not let it get pinched, for exam-
ple, under a door. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over
the cord. This could damage the cord, plug or socket. The
appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered
damage.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the power cord is
damaged. If the power cord is damaged it must be re-
placed together with the cord reel. For safety reasons this
must only be done by Miele Service or a Miele authorized
service technician.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with a
dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from
the electrical supply.
Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele-authorized
service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons can cause considerable danger to users.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance
when genuine Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components should only be replaced with genuine Miele
parts.
The packaging material protects the vacuum cleaner
from transport damage. We recommend you keep the
packaging for transport purposes.
