Technical Safety

~
A damaged vacuum cleaner can be
dangerous. Check the packaging, va-
cuum cleaner and accessories for any
signs of damage. Do not use a dama-
ged appliance.
~
Check the voltage rating of the va-
cuum cleaner before connecting the
power cord to an electrical outlet. Your
power source should correspond with
the voltage rating plate located on the
underside of the vacuum. Use only hou-
sehold AC outlets. Never use DC power
sources. If you are not sure of your ho-
me's voltage supply, consult a qualified
electrician. Connecting the vacuum
cleaner to a higher voltage than indica-
ted in these instructions may result in
damage to the vacuum cleaner or inju-
ry.
~
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other.) This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not alter the
plug in any way.
~
If the power cord is damaged it
should be replaced along with a new
cable reel by Miele Technical Service.
~
The electrical outlet must be fitted
with a 15 A fuse.
~
On the underside of the vacuum
handpiece is a metal insert designed to
absorb static electricity. Please make
certain that your hand remains around
this metal insert when vacuuming.
~
Do not leave the vacuum plugged
in. Unplug it from the outlet when not in
use and before servicing.
~
Turn off all controls before unplug-
ging.
~
Never submerge the vacuum clea-
ner in water. Clean only with a dry cloth
or slightly damp cloth when disconnec-
ted from the mains supply. If moisture
gets into the appliance there is a risk of
electric shock.
~
Repairs must only be performed by
an authorized service agent in accor-
dance with national and local safety re-
gulations. Unauthorized repairs could
cause injury or machine damage. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsi-
ble for unauthorized work.
