en-US - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Technical safety
Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories,

check for any visible signs of damage. Do not use a dam‐
aged appliance.
Ensure that the connection data on the data plate of the

vacuum cleaner (voltage and frequency) match the house‐
hold electrical supply.
The electrical outlet must be fitted with a 15 A fuse.

Reliable and safe operation of this vacuum cleaner can

only be assured if it has been connected to the electricity
supply.
While the vacuum cleaner is under warranty, repairs

should only be performed by a Miele-authorized service
technician. Otherwise the warranty will be void.
Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the power

cord, and be careful not to damage the cord when with‐
drawing the plug from the socket. Keep the cord away
from sharp edges and do not let it get pinched, for exam‐
ple, under a door. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over
the cord. This could damage the cord, plug or socket. The
appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered
damage.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the cord is damaged.

If the cord is damaged it must be replaced together with a
complete cord reel. For safety reasons this work must be
done by Miele Service or a Miele-authorized service tech‐
nician.
