Do not use on people or on
animals.
Do not use outdoors or on wet
surfaces. Only
dry surfaces should

Use only as described in this
manual. Use only Miele
recommended accessories.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Important
Safety Instructions. This appliance is
intended strictly for household use only.
This vacuum should not be used to
entrap or retain any hazardous
materials.
Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to
be used as a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used near children.
Unplug the vacuum when
changing accessories, especially
the Turbobrush and Electrobrush.
Never use the vacuum without the
dustbag or filters in place. It may
be damaged.
Do not vacuum liquids or damp
dirt. This will cause major faults
and could seriously impair the
operation and electrical safety of the
appliance. Wait until freshly cleaned or
shampooed carpets and floor
coverings are completely dry before
attempting to vacuum.
Do not vacuum anything that is
burning or smoking such as
cigarettes, matches or hot ashes. The
vacuum could catch fire.
Do not vacuum flammable or
combustible liquids, such as
gasoline, or use in areas where they
may be present.
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 and
therefore toner could be blown back
into the air by the fan.
Do not vacuum items which are
heavy, hard or have sharp edges.
They could cause a blockage and
damage the appliance.
