Technical safety

~
Before using the Electrobrush for the
first time, ensure that the connection
data on the vacuum cleaner's data
plate (voltage and frequency) match
the mains electricity supply. It is
essential that they match to avoid
damage to the vacuum cleaner and the
Electrobrush.
~
Check the Electrobrush, electro-
suction hose and electro-telescopic
tube for any visible signs of damage
before use. Do not use if damaged.
Damaged components could be
dangerous.
~
While under guarantee, repairs
should only be undertaken to the
Electrobrush, the electro-suction tube
and the electro-telescopic tube by a
service technician authorised by Miele.
Otherwise the guarantee will be
invalidated.
~
Switch off the vacuum cleaner when
you have finished using it, as well as for
maintenance work and cleaning. Switch
the cleaner off at the wall socket and
unplug it.
~
Do not let the vacuum cleaner or the
Electrobrush get wet. Clean only with a
dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when
disconnected from the mains supply. If
moisture gets into either the vacuum
cleaner or the Electrobrush, there is a
risk of electric shock.
~
The electro-suction hose and the
electro-telescopic tube contain
electrical wires. The plug connectors
must not come in contact with water.
Danger of electric shock. They should
only be cleaned with a dry cloth.
