IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, always observe basic safety precautions, including the following:
READ THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE USING
THE VACUUM CLEANER FOR THE FIRST TIME. PLEASE KEEP THESE OPER-
ATING INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This vacuum is intended for household use only. Do not use it on people or animals.
WARNING -
The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by improper use, or if the vacuum is used for purposes other than those for which it was designed. Use the vacuum only as described in this manual.
Do not leave the appliance when plugged in. Unplug it from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.
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 outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
Do not use the vacuum outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Check the voltage rating of the vacuum cleaner before connecting the power cord to an electrical outlet.
Your power supply should correspond to the voltage rating given on the data plate located on the bottom of the vacuum cleaner. Use only household AC outlets. Never use DC power sources. If you are unsure of the voltage supply in your area, consult a qualified electrician. Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a higher voltage than indicated on the data plate may result in damage to the vacuum cleaner and personal injury.
Only dry dirt should be vacuumed with this cleaner.
Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Pay close attention when the vacuum cleaner is used by or near children.
Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not working correctly, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or immersed in water, bring it to your Miele dealer for servicing.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not pull or carry the vacuum 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 vacuum over the cord and keep it away from heated surfaces.
Do not unplug the machine by pulling on the cord. To unplug the vacuum, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not handle the plug or appliance with wet hands.
Turn off all controls before unplugging the vacuum.
Do not put any objects into the openings. Do not use with any openings blocked; keep the openings free of dust, lint, hair or anything that may reduce the air flow.

0 = vacuum is off min = minimum suction max = maximum suction
^ To turn the vacuum On, slide either switch to min or max .
^ To turn the vacuum Off, slide either switch to 0 .
Select min , for vacuuming light weight items such as rugs or curtains.
Adjusting the suction
(depending on model)
Some models have an adjustable suction control that allows you to optimize the vacuum’s performance to meet different cleaning needs. The suction can be adjusted to the amount of dirt and the type of material that will be vacuumed.
Light weight items such as throw rugs or curtains can be vacuumed at a lower suction level to prevent them from being damaged, while carpets or heavy mats can be vacuumed at the highest setting in order to remove deep seated dirt. The highest setting should also be used if a Turbobrush is connected to the vacuum.
Operation
17
Operation
Setting the rug and floor tool for the type of floor being vacuumed
The rug and floor tool has been designed to give excellent cleaning results on either carpeted or smooth floor.
For vacuuming carpets and rugs:
^ Set the selector to the g position.
For vacuuming smooth floors:
^ Set the selector to the h position.
18
Parking and storing the vacuum cleaner
There is a non-skid rubber bumper on the handle of the vacuum.
This allows the vacuum to be leaned upright against a wall if desired.
Before leaving the vacuum make sure it is turned off and leaning against the wall at a safe angle.
To protect the bristle rings on the floor brush, we suggest hanging the vacuum on a wall hook by using the hole located on the bottom of the handle.
For longer term storage, the vacuum can be hung on a wall hook from the hole located on the bottom of the handle.
19
Maintenance and care
,
Turn off and unplug the vacuum before performing any maintenance work.
The Miele Filtering System consists of the following three components.
a Double layered dustbag b Dust compartment filter (for motor protection) c Exhaust filter
Each of these filters must be changed periodically to maintain the vacuum cleaner’s efficiency.
For best results, only use genuine
Miele filters and double-layered dustbags, type K/K . Technical failures and damage from the use of substitute, inferior dustbags and filters will void any product warranty.
Different types of exhaust filters
Your model could have either: a a “SUPER Air Clean filter”, b an “ACTIVE Air Clean filter” c or a “HEPA filter”
20
Maintenance and care
Suction Level Indicator
Only test the vacuum’s suction level indicator with the rug and floor tool attachment. Using any other attachment will give an inaccurate reading.
^ Set the suction power selector, (according to model), to the highest setting and close the air inlet valve.
^ Lift the rug and floor tool off the floor.
^ The dustbag should be changed if the red marker completely fills the indicator window, even if the dustbag is not completely full.
Please note:
The indicator measures the airflow through the dustbag.
Vacuuming up even a small bit of fine dust such as flour, ash or powder can cause enough of a drop in airflow to cause a "full bag" indication, even though the dustbag may appear almost empty. Since the airflow (suction power) is greatly reduced, the bag should be changed. On the other hand, the dustbag may be bulging with carpet lint or pet fur yet the airflow may still be high enough to prevent the suction level indicator from registering "full". If this occurs the dustbag should be changed.
Either of these extremes can occur during normal use.
The suction level indicator is designed to work when a mixture of the above items, along with hair, sand, etc . are vacuumed, as is generally the case when using the vacuum for normal household cleaning.
We recommend that:
1. If you vacuum a lot of fine dust or sand:
^ Change the dustbag as soon as the red marker fills the indicator window, even if the bag is not full.
2. If you vacuum a lot of hair, pet fur or loose carpet fibers: the suction level indicator will show only reduced suction when in fact the bag is full.
^ Change the dustbag as soon as it physically full, even if the suction level indicator shows that it is not.
21
Maintenance and care
When should the dustbag and filters be changed?
The Dustbag
The dustbag should be changed when the red marker fills the suction level indicator window or when the bag is full.
(Make sure the rug and floor tool is attached when testing the vacuum’s suction)
Miele dustbags are disposable and made to be used only once. Do not attempt to reuse them.
The dust compartment filter:
The dust compartment filter should be changed whenever a new box of genuine Miele dustbags is opened.
A dust compartment filter is included with every pack of Miele dustbags.
HEPA filter
Every 18 months or sooner if the airflow is reduced to an inefficient level. This filter is sold separately.
Where to purchase dustbags and filters
Genuine Miele filters and Type K/K dustbags can be purchased from any authorized Miele vacuum dealer.
Technical failures and damage from the use of substitute, inferior dustbags and filters will void any product warranty.
The exhaust filter
(see page 20 to determine which filter is included with your vacuum):
SUPER air clean filter
Each time you open a new pack of genuine Miele dustbags change the filter. A
"SUPER air clean filter" is included with every box of Miele dustbags.
ACTIVE air clean filter
About once a year or as soon as the filter no longer absorbs odors. This filter is sold separately.
22
Replacing the dustbag
^ Press the dust compartment release button and open the compartment lid.
Maintenance and care
The dustbag has a built in flap that will automatically slide over the hole when the dustbag is removed to prevent any dirt from escaping.
^ Grasp the card collar and pull out slightly to seal bag before completely removing it from the dustbag holder.
As long as the vacuum has not been used on restricted or hazardous materials, the dustbag can be thrown out with the household trash.
Do not unfold the dustbag when you take it out of the box. Keeping it folded will prevent it from getting caught when the dust compartment lid is closed.
^ Slide the collar of the new dustbag into the empty frame.
^ Close the dust compartment lid so that it catches. The dustbag will automatically seat itself over the vacuum intake tube inside of the compartment.
,
If the dustbag is not inserted correctly, or it is trapped between the dust compartment lid and the vacuum housing, the lid will not close properly.
Do not attempt to force the lid shut!
