Miele S 658 Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
Do not vacuum up liquids or damp
dirt. This will cause major faults
and could seriously impair the function
-
ing and electrical safety of the appli
-
ance. 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 and so the
toner could be blown back into the at-
mosphere 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 items which are
heavy, hard or have sharp edges.
They could cause a blockage and dam
-
age 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 carry the appliance by the
cable. When disconnecting from
the mains socket pull by the plug not by
the cable.
- Keep the cable away from sharp
edges and do not let it be squashed at
all, for example, under a door.
- Avoid running the vacuum cleaner
over the cable.
A damaged cable, plug or socket is a
danger ot safety. The appliance must
not be used if any of these have suf
-
fered damage.
Monitor the change dustbag indi
-
cator 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 hamper the
suction power of the cleaner. A temper-
ature limiter switches the vacuum
cleaner off automatically if it gets too
hot, see section "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.
