Warning and Safety instructions It is essential to read these instructions. This vacuum cleaner conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and damage to property. Please read the operating instructions before using the vacuum cleaner and charging the battery for the first time. They contain important information on the safety, use and maintenance of the vacuum cleaner. This will prevent both personal injury and damage to the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions This vacuum cleaner can be used for all normal cleaning of carpets, rugs and robust hard flooring. This vacuum cleaner is intended for use at altitudes of up to 4000 m above sea level. The vacuum cleaner must only be used to vacuum dry floor surfaces. Do not vacuum people or animals. Any other types of use, modifications or alterations are not permitted.
Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety The vacuum cleaner operates at 25.2 V. It is classified as a class III appliance. This appliance is supplied by a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) power source where the voltage is low enough to protect users from the risk of electrical shock. A Class II charger is used for supplying power to charge the vacuum cleaner. Compare the connection data on the data plate of the charger (voltage and frequency) with that of the mains electricity supply.
Warning and Safety instructions If the vacuum cleaner is to be stored unused for a long period, the battery should be removed. The supply terminals must not be short-circuited. Cleaning Do not immerse the vacuum cleaner or any accessories supplied with it in water. The Electrobrush/handheld brush (depending on the model), the PowerUnit, the suction tube, the body and the Comfort handle contain electrical wires. The plug connectors must not come into contact with water. Danger of electric shock.
Warning and Safety instructions Do not vacuum up any inflammable or combustible liquids or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored. Never touch the Electrobrush/handheld brush (varies according to the model) while it is rotating. Do not use the Electrobrush/handheld brush (varies according to the model) at head height. Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction get anywhere near a person's head.
Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety The AP01 battery, the LG01 charger and the LS03 charger cradle are designed for use with the Miele HS19 vacuum cleaner. For safety reasons, the vacuum cleaner must not be used with a battery, charger or charger cradle produced by another manufacturer. Only the LG01/xx charger or the LS03/xx charger cradle supplied with the vacuum cleaner can be used to charge the AP01 battery.
Warning and Safety instructions Stop using the AP01 battery immediately if you notice an unusual smell from it, if liquid is leaking from it, if it is significantly overheating or if it is discoloured or deformed. Dispose of the AP01 battery immediately (see safety notice “Disposing of the AP01 battery” at the end of this chapter as well as “Caring for the environment” – “Disposing of old batteries”). Batteries will deplete over time. They can then leak corrosive fluids.
Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.
