Miele Classic C1 Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 25

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 get wet. Clean only with a

dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from
the mains supply.
Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorised

service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons can cause considerable danger to users.
Correct use
To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum

cleaner without the dustbag, dust compartment filter and
exhaust filter in place.
The dust compartment cover will not close without a

dustbag fitted. Do not force it.
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or

is still glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether glow‐
ing or apparently extinguished.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water,

liquid or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or sham‐
pooed rugs or carpets are completely dry before attempt‐
ing to vacuum.
