Notes on the European Regu-
lation (EU) No. 666/2013

cuum cleaner and is classified as a uni-
versal vacuum cleaner in accordance
with the above-mentioned regulation.
These operating instructions and addi-
tional information are available to down-
load from the Miele website at

The annual energy consumption stated
in the regulation describes the indicat-
ive annual energy consumption (kWh
per year), based on 50 cleaning cycles.
Actual energy consumption depends on
how the vacuum cleaner is used.
All tests and calculations were carried
out according to the following harmon-
ised standards applicable at the time in
due consideration of the published reg-
ulation guidelines of the European
Commission from September 2014:
a) EN 60312-1 Vacuum cleaners for
household use - Part 1: Dry vacuum
cleaners - Methods for measuring the
performance.
b) EN 60704-2-1 Household and similar
electrical appliances - Test code for the

noise - Part 2-1: Particular requirements
for vacuum cleaners.
c) EN 60335-2-2 Household and similar
electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-2:

cleaner and water suction appliances.
Not all floorheads and accessories sup-
plied with the vacuum cleaner are inten-
ded for intensive cleaning of carpets or
hard floors as described in the regula-
tion. The following floorhead and setting
were used to determine the values:
For energy consumption and cleaning
class on carpet and hard floors and
sound power level on carpet, the ad-
justable floorhead was used with the
brush retracted (press the  foot-
switch).
The data given in the regulation refers
exclusively to the combinations and
settings of the floorhead on the different
floor surfaces described here.
Only original Miele dustbags, motor
protection filters and exhaust filters
were used for all measurements.
