en - Warning and Safety instructions

When vacuuming, in particular 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 discharges, a metal inlay has been incorporated into
the underside of the handle. Please make sure that you
keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip
during vacuuming. If your vacuum cleaner is fitted with an
handle, make sure you hold it by the bowed
Eco Comfort
section as this is where this metal strip is incorporated.

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.

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance
when genuine original Miele replacement parts are used.
Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare
parts.
