Miele S 560 Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
Do not vacuum up any water, liquid
or damp dirt. This will cause major
faults and could seriously impair the
functioning and electrical safety of the
appliance. Wait until any freshly
cleaned or shampooed carpets or floor
coverings are completely dry before
attempting to vacuum.
Do not vacuum up anything which
has been burning or is still glowing
e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether
glowing or apparently extinguished.
The cleaner might catch fire.
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,
such as that used in printers and
photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
The filter system in the vacuum cleaner
may not filter it completely, causing the
toner to be blown back into the room by
the fan.
Do not vacuum up any inflammable
or combustible liquids or gases
and do not vacuum in areas where
such substances are stored. The
cleaner might explode.
Do not vacuum up any
sharp-edged objects. They could
cause a blockage and damage the
appliance.
Floor attachments, accessories
and tubes must not be used at
head level to avoid the risk of injury,
e.g. to eyes and ears.
Do not pull or carry the appliance
by the cable.
- Keep the cable away from sharp
edges and do not let it be squashed,
for example, under a door.
- Avoid running the vacuum cleaner
over the cable.
A damaged cable, plug or socket is a
safety hazard. The appliance must not
be used if any of these have suffered
damage.
Monitor the change dustbag
indicator and change the dustbag
if necessary. Check the exhaust and
dust compartment filters at the same
time and change them too if necessary.
A full bag or blocked filter will reduce
the suction power of the cleaner. A
temperature limiter switches the
vacuum cleaner off automatically if it
gets too hot. See "Problem solving
guide".
Do not use aroma capsules if your
cleaner is fitted with an Active
HEPA filter or an Active Air Clean filter.
The active charcoal layer in the filter will
absorb the aroma from the capsules
rendering them ineffective.
