en - Warning and Safety instructions

Reliable and safe operation of this vacuum cleaner can
only be assured if it has been connected to the mains elec-
tricity supply.

While the vacuum cleaner is under guarantee, repairs
should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service
technician. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.

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.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the cable is damaged.
If the cable is damaged it must be replaced together with a
complete cable rewind. For safety reasons this work must
be done by the Miele Service Department or a Miele au-
thorised service technician.

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.
