When vacuuming, in particular
fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster,
flour, talcum powder etc., electro-
static charges build up naturally. Un-
der certain conditions these charges
will be released. To avoid the un-
pleasant effects of these 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. If your
vacuum cleaner is fitted with an Eco
Comfort handle, make sure you hold
it by the bowed section as this is
where this metal strip is incorpor-
ated. (dia. 24 + 25)
Setting down, transportation
and storage
Park System for pauses during vacu-
uming (dia. 26)
The Park System allows you to conveni-
ently park the suction tube and floor-
head during pauses.
Slot the floorhead or floorbrush into
the parking attachment on the va-
cuum cleaner.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a slop-
ing surface, e.g. a ramp, retract the
telescopic tube fully.
Park system On/Off switch
Some models are fitted with an On/Off
switch in the Park system.
The vacuum cleaner switches off auto-
matically when the floorhead or floor-
brush is slotted into the parking attach-
ment. When it is removed from the
42
parking attachment, the vacuum
cleaner switches back on at the previ-
ously selected power level.
Park system for storage (dia. 27)
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical supply
when you have finished using it.
Switch it off at the wall socket and
unplug it.
Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.
Retract the telescopic tube fully so
that the vacuum cleaner takes up less
room for storage.
Slot the floorhead downwards into
one of the parking attachments on
the side of the vacuum cleaner.
This makes the vacuum cleaner easier
to carry or store.
Maintenance
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical supply for
maintenance work and for cleaning.
Switch off at the wall socket and un-
plug it.
The Miele filtration system consists of
three components:
– Dustbag
– Dust compartment filter (for motor
protection)
– Exhaust filter
These will need to be replaced from
time to time to ensure that your vacuum
cleaner performs efficiently.
