Safety with children
 Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrap-
pings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the
reach of children.
 Children must be kept away from the vacuum cleaner
unless they are constantly supervised.
 Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy.
Close attention is necessary when used near children.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
 Check the voltage rating of the vacuum cleaner before
connecting the power cord to an electrical outlet. Your
power source should correspond with the voltage rating
plate located on the underside of the vacuum. Use only
household AC outlets. Never use DC power sources. If you
are not sure of your home’s voltage supply, consult a qual-
ified electrician. Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a
higher voltage than indicated in these instructions may re-
sult in damage to the vacuum cleaner or injury.
 To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper out-
let. Do not alter the plug in any way.

Technical safety
 Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories,
check for any visible signs of damage. Do not use a dam-
aged appliance.
 Compare the connection data on the data plate of the
vacuum cleaner (voltage and frequency) with that of the
electricity supply. This data must match exactly. Without
modifications, the vacuum cleaner is suited for 50Hz or
60Hz.
 The electrical outlet must be rated at 15Amps.
 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous
power supply system or a power supply system that is not
synchronized with the grid power supply (e.g., island net-
works, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for op-
eration is that the power supply system complies with na-
tional and local codes.
The function and operation of the protective measures pro-
vided in the domestic electrical installation and in this
Miele product must also be maintained in isolated opera-
tion or in operation that is not synchronized with the grid
power supply, or these measures must be replaced by
equivalent measures in the installation.
 Repairs should only be performed by an authorized ser-
vice agent in accordance with national and local safety
regulations. Unauthorized repairs could cause injury or ma-
chine damage. Otherwise the warranty may be void.

 Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the power
cord, and be careful not to damage the cord when with-
drawing the plug from the socket. Keep the cord away
from sharp edges and do not let it get pinched, for exam-
ple, under a door. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over
the cord. This could damage the cord, plug or socket. The
appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered
damage.
 Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the power cord is
damaged. If the power cord is damaged it must be re-
placed together with the cord reel. For safety reasons this
must only be done by Miele Service or a Miele authorized
service technician.
 Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with a
dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from
the electrical supply.
 Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele-authorized
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 should only be replaced with genuine Miele
parts.
 The packaging material protects the vacuum cleaner
from transport damage. We recommend you keep the
packaging for transport purposes.

Proper use
 To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum
cleaner without the FilterBag, dust compartment filter and
exhaust filter in place.
 Do not use with damaged cord or plug.
If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to
a service center.
 Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and any-
thing that may reduce air flow.
 The dust compartment cover will not close without a Fil-
terBag inserted. Do not force it.
 Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or
smoking, e.g., cigarettes, ashes or hot ash, whether glow-
ing or apparently extinguished.
 Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water,
liquid or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or sham-
pooed rugs or carpets are completely dry before attempt-
ing to vacuum.
 Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust.
Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers, can
conduct electricity.

or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such sub-
