When vacuuming fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster,
flour, talcum powder etc., electrostatic charges build up
naturally. Under certain conditions these charges will be
released. To avoid the unpleasant effects of these dis-
charges, a metal inlay has been incorporated into the un-
derside of the handle. Please make sure that you keep
your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during
vacuuming.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner, the Electrobrush, the
telescopic suction tube and the suction hose get wet.
Clean only with a dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when
disconnected from the mains supply.
The Electrobrush, telescopic suction tube and the suc-
tion hose contain electrical cables. The plug connectors
must not come in contact with water. Danger of electric
shock. They should only be cleaned with a dry cloth.
Repairs should only be carried out on the vacuum
cleaner, the Electrobrush, the telescopic suction tube and
the suction hose by a Miele authorised service technician.
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons can cause
considerable danger to users.
Correct use
Floor attachments, accessories and tubes must not be
used at head level.
To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum
cleaner without the dustbag, dust compartment filter and
exhaust filter in place.
