
When vacuuming, in particular fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand,
plaster, flour, talcum powder etc., electrostatic charges build up nat-
urally. 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.

The Electrobrush contains electrical connections. Do not use the
Electrobrush to suck up water or immerse the Electrobrush in water
for cleaning.

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 genu-
ine Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only
be replaced with genuine Miele replacement parts.
