Disposal of packing material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic, wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please recycle them.
Disposing of the dustbag and
filters
These are made from environmentally
friendly materials, and can be disposed
of with the normal household waste, as
long as they have bee used exclusively
for general household dust.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before disposing of your old appliance
remove the dustbag and all the filters
and dispose of them with your normal
household waste.
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

This appliance meets statutory
safety requirements. Improper use
can, however, lead to personal injury
and material damage.
To avoid the risk of personal injury or
damage to the appliance you should
read these instructions carefully
before using it for the first time. They
contain important information on its
safety, operation and maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and ensure new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them
on to any future owner.
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the mains supply when
you have finished using it, as well as
for maintenance work and cleaning.
Switch it off at the wall socket and
unplug it.
Correct application
~This vacuum cleaner must only be
used for domestic household purposes
to vacuum dry floor surfaces. Do not
use on people or animals.
Any other usage, modification or
alteration is at the owner's risk and
could be dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage resulting from improper or
incorrect use of the appliance.
~This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience or knowledge, unless they
are supervised whilst using it, or have
been shown how to use it by a person
responsible for their safety.
Safety with children
~This appliance is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury, keep children well
away, and do not allow them to play
with it or to use the controls. Supervise
children whilst you are using it.
~Older children may only use the
vacuum cleaner if its operation has
been clearly explained to them, and
they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of incorrect
use.
Technical safety
~Ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and frequency)
match the mains electricity supply. It is
essential that they match to avoid
damage to the appliance.
~The plug must be fitted with a 13 A
fuse (UK).
~Before using the vacuum cleaner,
check for any signs of damage. Do not
use a damaged appliance; it could be
dangerous.
~While the vacuum cleaner is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by Miele. Otherwise the
guarantee will be invalidated.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

~Switch the vacuum cleaner off
before changing accessories.
~There is a metal inlay underneath
the handle which is designed to protect
the user from electrostatic discharges.
Please make sure that you keep your
hand in constant contact with this metal
strip during vacuuming.
~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 be squashed,
for example, under a door.
– Avoid running the vacuum cleaner
over the cable.
A damaged cable, plug or socket is a
safety hazard. The appliance must not
be used if any of these have suffered
damage.
~If the cable is damaged it must be
replaced together with a complete
cable rewind. For safety reasons this
must only be done by the Miele Service
Department or a Miele authorised ser-
vice technician.
~Repairs should only be carried out
by a Miele authorised service
technician. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for unauthorised work.
~Do not let the vacuum cleaner get
wet. Clean only with a dry cloth or
slightly damp cloth when disconnected
from the mains supply. If moisture gets
into the appliance, there is a risk of
electric shock.
Correct use
~To avoid the risk of damage, do not
use the vacuum cleaner without the
dustbag, dust compartment filter and
exhaust filter in place.
~If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust
compartment cover does not normally
close. Do not force it.
~Do not vacuum up any water, liquid
or damp dirt. This will cause major
faults and could seriously impair the
functioning and electrical safety of the
appliance. Wait until any freshly
cleaned or shampooed carpets or floor
coverings are completely dry before
attempting to vacuum.
~Do not vacuum up anything which
has been burning or is still glowing e.g.
cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether
glowing or apparently extinguished.
The cleaner might catch fire.
~Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,
such as that used in printers and
photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
The filter system in the vacuum cleaner
may not filter it completely, causing the
toner to be blown back into the room by
the fan.
~Do not vacuum up any inflammable
or combustible liquids or gases and do
not vacuum in areas where such
substances are stored. The cleaner
might explode.
~Do not vacuum up items which are
heavy, hard or have sharp edges. They
could cause a blockage and damage
the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

~Floor attachments, accessories and
tubes must not be used at head level to
avoid the risk of injury, e.g. to eyes and
ears.
~Do not vacuum near items such as
curtains, scarves, clothing etc, as these
could be vacuumed in and become
entangled in the roller.
~Monitor the change dustbag
indicator and change the dustbag if
necessary. Check the exhaust and dust
compartment filters at the same time
and change them too if necessary. A
full bag or blocked filter will reduce the
suction power of the cleaner. A
temperature limiter switches the
vacuum cleaner off automatically if it
gets too hot. See "Problem solving
guide".
Accessories
Miele accessories including
floorheads, filters and dustbags are
available to order from your Miele
retailer, the Miele Spare Parts
Department or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com.
~It is not advisable to vacuum directly
with the handle, i.e. without an
accessory attached, as the rim could
get damaged and you could hurt
yourself on sharp edges.
~Miele dustbags are disposable and
intended to be used only once. Do not
attempt to re-use, as suction could be
reduced by the blocked pores.
~Use only genuine Miele dustbags,
filters, accessories and optional
accessories. This will ensure optimum
performance of the appliance
throughout its life.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

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.
Operation
12

Adjusting the suction power
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to
manoeuvre the floorhead.
Some models also have symbols on the
controls. The symbols indicate the type
of use the settings are suitable for:
a- curtains, lightweight fabrics
b- upholstery, cushions
c- carpets, rugs and runners
(- for daily energy-saving
vacuuming. This setting is also
very quiet.
e- lightly soiled rugs and fitted
carpets
f- heavily soiled hard flooring, and
for intensive cleaning of carpets
^Turn the suction power selector
manually to the suction power setting
you require.
Opening the air inlet valve
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other objects being sucked into the
vacuum cleaner.
^Open the air inlet valve far enough to
reduce the suction power.
The floorhead will be easier to
manoeuvre. Close the valve up again
when you are ready to use full power
again.

Parking and storing the cleaner
14

,Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical supply
before any maintenance work.
Switch off at the wall socket and
withdraw the plug.
The Miele filter system consists of three
filters which must be replaced from
time to time to ensure that your vacuum
cleaner performs efficiently.
–Dustbag
–Dust compartment filter (for motor
protection)
– Exhaust filter
Use only genuine Miele dustbags,
filters, accessories and optional
accessories. Only this will ensure
that the suction power of the
vacuum cleaner is maintained,
giving the best possible cleaning
results.
,The use of dustbags made from
paper or paper-based materials, or
dustbags with a cardboard collar, or
dustbags that do not carry the
"Original Miele" logo, can seriously
damage the vacuum cleaner and
invalidate the warranty.
Purchasing new dustbags and
filters
Original Miele dustbags and filters can
be obtained from your Miele Dealer,
from the Miele Service Department and
via the internet at www.miele-shop.com.
Ordering the correct dustbags
and filters
Original Miele "G/N" dustbags and
original filters are identified by the
"Original Miele" logo on the packaging
or directly on the dustbag.
A Super Air Clean filter and a dust
compartment filter are supplied with
every packet of Miele dustbags.
If you wish to purchase original Miele
exhaust filters separately, please quote
the model number of your appliance to
your Miele Dealer or to the Customer
Services Department when ordering to
ensure you get the correct items. These
can also be purchased online at
www.miele-shop.com.
Maintenance and care
15

When to change the dustbag
Change the dustbag when the colour
marker in the dustbag change indicator
fills the display, or sooner if it is no
longer effective (see possible reasons
for this below).
Dustbags are designed for single
use only.
Do not attempt to re-use them as
suction would be reduced.
Checking the dustbag change
indicator
^Attach the standard floorhead to the
suction tube.
^Switch the vacuum cleaner on and
select the highest power setting.
^Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.
How the dustbag change indicator
works
The indicator is designed to measure
the air permeability of a dustbag
containing a mixture of household dust
made up of: dust, hair, carpet fluff,
threads, grit etc.
However, if the cleaner is used to
vacuum up fine dust, such as plaster,
brick dust, cement or flour, the pores of
the dustbag will become blocked very
quickly. This affects the air permeability
of the bag, and the marker will indicate
that the bag is "full" even when it is not.
If this happens the bag will need to be
changed.
If, on the other hand, a large amount of
hair and carpet fluff which typically
contains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the
indicator may fail to react even though
the bag is full. You should still change
it! Both these extremes can occur.
Maintenance and care
16

Replacing the dustbag
^Press the release button for the dust
compartment lid and raise the lid as
far as it will go.
The dustbag has a closing flap which
closes automatically to prevent any
dust escaping.
Removing the dustbag a
^Pull the dustbag out by the grip next
to the self-closing flap on the collar.
Replacing the dustbag b
^Fit the new dustbag into the holder as
far as it will go. Leave it folded up
when you take it out of the box.
^It should be unfolded in the dust
compartment.
^Close the dust compartment lid
securely, making sure it clicks into
position. Take care not to trap the
dustbag when doing so.
,The lid will not close without a
dustbag in place, or if the dustbag is
incorrectly fitted. Do not force it.
Maintenance and care
17

When to change the dust
compartment filter (for motor
protection)
