Technical Safety
~
A damaged vacuum cleaner can be
dangerous. Check the packaging,
vacuum cleaner and accessories for
any signs of damage. Do not use a
damaged appliance.
~
Check the voltage rating of the
vacuum 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
household AC outlets. Never use DC
power sources. If you are not sure of
your home’s voltage supply, consult a
qualified electrician. Connecting the
vacuum cleaner to a higher voltage
than indicated in these instructions may
result in damage to the vacuum cleaner
or injury.
~
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
unplugging.
~
Never submerge the vacuum
cleaner in water. Clean only with a dry
cloth or slightly damp cloth when
disconnected 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
accordance with national and local
safety regulations. Unauthorized repairs
could cause injury or machine damage.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for unauthorized work.
