Disposing of sales packaging
The packaging material protects the va-
cuum cleaner from transport damage.
The packaging materials used are se-
lected from materials which are environ-
mentally friendly for disposal and can
therefore be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material re-
duces the use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also re-
duces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic wrap-
pings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely
and kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Before disposing of your old appliance,
remove the fine dust filter and dispose
of it with your household waste.
Electrical and electronic appliances of-
ten contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, com-
pounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to hu-
man health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com-
munity waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic ap-
pliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also respons-
en - Caring for the environment
ible (by law, depending on country) for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance being disposed
of. Please ensure that your old appli-
ance poses no risk to children while be-
ing stored prior to disposal.
Disposing of old batteries
In many cases, electrical and electronic
appliances contain batteries which
must not be disposed of with house-
hold waste after use. You are legally ob-
liged (depending on country) to remove
any old batteries which are not securely
enclosed by the vacuum cleaner and to
take them to a suitable collection point
(e.g. retailer) where they can be handed
in free of charge. Insulate the metal
contacts with adhesive tape to prevent
short circuits. Batteries may contain
substances which can be hazardous to
human health and the environment.
Used batteries must be kept away from
children while awaiting disposal and
must be disposed of in a safe manner.
The labelling on the battery will provide
further information. The bin symbol with
a cross through it means that the bat-
teries must not be disposed of in
household waste. A bin with a cross
through it which also has one or more
chemical symbols on it indicates that
the battery contains lead (Pb), cadmium
(Cd) and/or mercury (Hg).
Old batteries contain valuable raw ma-
terials which can be recycled. Dispos-
ing of batteries separately makes them
easier to handle and recycle.
