Warning and Safety instructions

 It is essential to read these instructions.
 WARNING AU/NZ! Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Coin or button batteries containing lithium can cause severe or
fatal injuries within 2 hours of being swallowed or placed inside
any part of the body. Non-lithium batteries can also cause serious
injuries if swallowed or placed inside any part of the body. Even
flat batteries can still be dangerous. If you suspect a child has
swallowed a battery or placed a battery inside any part of their
body, seek medical advice immediately (Australia: Poisons Inform-
ation Centre, Tel. 13 11 26; NZ: National Poisons Centre, Tel. 0800
764 766). Examine devices and make sure the battery compart-
ment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical
fastener is tightened. Do not use if compartment is not secure.
Used batteries must be kept away from children while awaiting
disposal and must be disposed of in a safe manner.

Warning and Safety instructions

This vacuum cleaner conforms to current safety requirements. In-
appropriate use can lead to personal injury and damage to prop-
erty.
Please read the operating instructions before using the vacuum
cleaner and charging the battery for the first time. They contain im-
portant information on the safety, use and maintenance of the va-
cuum cleaner. This will prevent both personal injury and damage to
the appliance.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
“Installation and connection” section as well as the safety instruc-
tions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them
on to any future owner/operator.
Always switch the vacuum cleaner off when you have finished us-
ing it, before changing any accessories, as well as for maintenance
work, cleaning and troubleshooting. Use the On/Off switch on the
Comforthandle to do this.

faces. Do not vacuum people or animals. Any other types of use,
modifications or alterations are not permitted.
 The vacuum cleaner can only be used by people (including chil-
dren) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack

cognise the consequences of incorrect operation.
Safety with children

Technical safety
 The vacuum cleaner operates at 25.2V.
It is classified as a class III appliance.
This appliance is supplied by a safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
power source where the voltage is low enough to protect users from
the risk of electrical shock. A Class II charger is used for supplying
power to charge the vacuum cleaner.
 Compare the connection data on the data plate of the charger
(voltage and frequency) with that of the mains electricity supply. This
data must match exactly. Without modifications, the charger is suit-
able for 50Hz and 60Hz.
 The mains electrical outlet must be fitted with an appropriate cir-
cuit breaker.
 Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories, check for
any visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
 The MieleMultiFloorXXLElectrobrush (included as standard) and
the MieleElectroCompacthandheldbrush (optional accessory) are
additional motor-driven devices designed specially for this Miele va-
cuum cleaner. For safety reasons, the vacuum cleaner must not be
used with a different MieleElectrobrush/handheldbrush or an Elec-
trobrush/handheld brush produced by another manufacturer.
 Before and during use, make sure that no coarse dirt or debris is/
gets trapped in the bottom of the Multi Floor XXL Electrobrush (in-
cluded as standard) or in the bottom of the ElectroCompacthand-
heldbrush (optional accessory).
 Store the vacuum cleaner and all accessories at an ambient tem-
perature between 0°C and 45°C.
 Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service
technician. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 Repairs and other work by unqualified persons can cause consid-
erable danger to users.
 If the vacuum cleaner is to be stored unused for a long period, the
battery should be removed.
 The supply terminals must not be short-circuited.
Correct use
 Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the dust container, pre-fil-
ter and fine dust filter fitted.
 Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or is still
glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether glowing or apparently
extinguished.
 Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water, liquid or
damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed rugs or car-
pets are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.
 Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust. Toner, such
as that used in printers and photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
 Do not vacuum up any inflammable or combustible liquids or
gases and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are
stored.
 Never touch the roller brush of the MultiFloorXXLElectrobrush
(included as standard) or the Electro Compact handheld brush (op-
tional accessory) while it is rotating.
 Do not use the MultiFloorXXLElectrobrush (included as stand-
ard) or the ElectroCompacthandheldbrush (optional accessory) at
head height.
 Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction get any-
where near a person's head.

 If you are using a mains plug adapter, make sure that it is ap-
proved for continuous operation.
 Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,
back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that
the energy supply system complies with all current local and national
requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery sys-
tems.
The protective measures provided in the domestic installation and in
this Miele product must also be assured in their function and opera-
tion in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or
replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
 Charge and use the battery at an ambient temperature between
0°C and 45°C.
Using the battery outside of this ambient temperature range will limit
its performance.
