only be used for the Miele Electrobrushes listed in these operating
instructions.

The Miele Electrobrush is a motor driven accessory for use only
with Miele vacuum cleaners. For safety reasons, the cleaner must
not be used with an Electrobrush produced by another manufacturer.

While the vacuum cleaner is under warranty, repairs should only
be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise
the warranty will be invalidated.

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.

Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the cable, and be care-
ful 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 appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered dam-
age.
