IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE

USING THIS APPLIANCE

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 qualified electrician. Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a higher voltage than indicated in these instructions may result in damage to the vacuum cleaner or injury.

To reduce the 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 outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.

A damaged vacuum cleaner can be dangerous. Check the packaging, the vacuum cleaner and accessories for any signs of damage.

Do not use a damaged appliance.

Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or immersed in water, bring it to a service center.

Do not use on people or on animals.

Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces. Only

dry

surfaces should be vacuumed.

Only use the vacuum as described in this manual. Use only Miele recommended accessories.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 arrest or retain any hazardous materials.

Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

Do not pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the appliance over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

Do not handle the plug or vacuum with wet hands.

Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.

*

Filter frame - see "Accessories"

Use only original Miele dustbags and filters to ensure optimum suction power.

Where to purchase new dustbags and filters

Replacement dustbags and filters may be purchased from your local Miele

Dealer.

Which dustbags and filters are the right ones?

Use only Miele dustbags with

– the Miele quality emblem

– the imprint

L/L

When purchasing alternative exhaust or dust compartment filters, please quote the model number of your vacuum to your dealer when ordering.

24

How the dustbag change indicator works

The indicator is designed to show when the bag is full of dust by measuring the air permeability of the dustbag. Normal household dust is a mixture of dust, hair, carpet fluff, threads, grit, etc.

However, if an amount of fine dust, such as plaster, brick dust, cement or flour is vacuumed, the pores of the dustbag become blocked very quickly.

The marker will indicate that the bag is

"full", even when it is not. In this instance, the dustbag must be changed as suction power is reduced.

If, on the other hand, a large quantity of hair, wool or carpet fluff is vacuumed, the dustbag indicator may not register

"full" until the bag is absolutely bulging.

This is because the air permeability of the dustbag may still be high enough not to activate the marker to show the bag is full. The dustbag should still be changed. Check the dustbag change indicator regularly.

Checking the dustbag change indicator

^ Turn the vacuum cleaner on.

^ Tilt the floor tool from the floor while the body wand is locked. If the red marker fills the indicator window, change the dustbag, even if it is not completely filled.

Maintenance

25

Maintenance

Replacing the dustbag

^ Open the dust compartment lid by pressing the release.

^ Grasp the card collar tabs and pull the dustbag out from the dustbag holder. The dustbag has a flap which closes automatically to prevent dust from escaping when the dustbag is removed.

^ Dispose of the dustbag with normal household waste, provided it contains only normal household dust.

^ Insert the new dustbag into the dustbag holder. Close the dust compartment lid firmly until it clicks into place. Do not jam the dustbag in the lid. The dustbag will automatically set into the intake socket.

An empty-operation-barrier blocks the dust compartment lid from closing if no dustbag is inserted or if it is not inserted all the way.

Do Not Use Force!

26

Changing the filters

A dust compartment (motor protection) filter is supplied with every box of Miele dustbags and should be replaced when opening a new box of dustbags.

Dust compartment filter

^ Open the dust compartment lid by pressing the release.

Maintenance

^ Open the filter frame.

A Unclip the filter frame, remove the old filter and replace with a new one.

B Close the filter frame and the dust compartment lid until they click into place.

27

Maintenance

^ Open the dust compartment lid by pressing the release button.

^ Press the exhaust filter lid release button and open the exhaust filter lid.

^ Remove the filter frame and dispose of the old filter.

28

^ Replace the SUPER air clean filter with the imprint either way out. Close the filter frame.

Maintenance

^ Close the exhaust filter lid and the dust compartment lid until it clicks into place.

29

Maintenance

ACTIVE air clean filter and the

ACTIVE HEPA filter

^ Open the dust compartment lid by pressing the release button.

^ Press the exhaust filter lid release button.

^ Open the exhaust filter lid.

^ Remove the Active air clean or Active

HEPA filter.

31

Cleaning and care

,

Warning!

Do not leave the vacuum unattended when it is plugged in.

Turn off and unplug the vacuum before opening cover.

Vacuums and Accessories

The vacuum cleaner and other plastic components can be cleaned using a damp cloth or a cleaner made especially for plastics.

,

Do not use abrasive, glass or all purpose cleaning solutions, as these can cause considerable damage to the plastic components of the vacuum or accessories.

Dust compartment

The dust compartment can be cleaned using another vacuum, if available, or a

dry

cloth or brush.

Monitor the dustbag change indicator and inspect all filters regularly. Replace them when necessary according to the

"Maintenance" instructions.

,

Never immerse the vacuum cleaner in water.

32

What if the vacuum cleaner turns off while vacuuming?

The vacuum has overheated and the temperature limiter switched off the vacuum automatically. This may occur if the vacuum wand is blocked, the dustbag is full or fine dust has clogged the pores of the dustbag. A heavily soiled exhaust or dust compartment filter can also cause of overheating.

^ Turn the vacuum off!
