en - Warning and Safety instructions
When vacuuming, in particular fine dust, e.g. sawdust,
sand, plaster, flour, talcum powder etc., electrostatic
charges build up naturally. Under certain conditions these
charges will be released. To avoid the unpleasant 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
handle, make sure you hold it by the bowed
Eco Comfort
section as this is where this metal strip is incorporated.
Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the cable,
and be careful not to damage the cable when withdrawing
the plug from the socket. Keep the cable away from sharp
edges and do not let it get squashed, for example, under a
door. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over the cable.
This could damage the cable, plug or socket. The appli-
ance must not be used if any of these have suffered dam-
age.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the cable is damaged.
If the cable is damaged it must be replaced together with a
complete cable rewind. For safety reasons this must only
be done by Miele Service or a Miele authorised service
technician.
While the vacuum cleaner is under warranty, repairs
should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service
technician. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.
Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorised
service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons can cause considerable danger to users.
