en - Warning and Safety instructions

Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the cable,
and be careful not to damage the cable when withdrawing
the plug from the socket. Keep the cable away from sharp
edges and do not let it get squashed, for example, under a
door. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over the cable.
This could damage the cable, plug or socket. The appli-
ance must not be used if any of these have suffered dam-
age.

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.

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.

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance
when genuine Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components must only be replaced with genuine Miele re-
placement parts.
