Opening the air inlet valve (Fig. 23)
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other textile flooring being sucked into
the vacuum cleaner.
Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction
power.
The floorhead will be easier to man-
oeuvre.
During vacuuming
When vacuuming, pull the cleaner be-
hind you on its wheels. You can stand
it upright for vacuuming stairs and
curtains etc.
Setting down, transportation
and storage
Park system for pauses during vacu-
uming (Fig. 24)
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 for storage (Fig. 25 + 26)
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the power supply when
you have finished using it. Switch off
at the wall socket and unplug it.
Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.
Retract the telescopic tube fully.
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.
If your vacuum cleaner has an XXL
handle, you can detach this so that the
vacuum cleaner requires less storage
space.
Detach the XXL handle from the re-
tracted telescopic suction tube.
Wind the suction hose around the
telescopic suction tube and then slot
the XXL handle into the second park-
ing attachment.
Maintenance
Risk of electric shock from mains
voltage.
The mains voltage is applied to the
appliance even if it is switched off.
Before carrying out any maintenance
work, switch the appliance off at the
wall socket and unplug it.
The Miele filtration system consists of 3
accessories:
- Original Miele dustbag (type FJM)
- Motor protection filter
- Original Miele exhaust filter
These accessories will need to be re-
placed from time to time to ensure that
your vacuum cleaner performs effi-
ciently.
