8
Repairs should be carried out by a Miele-authorized ser-
vice technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified per-
sons can cause considerable danger to users.
Proper use
Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the pre-filter and
fine dust filter installed.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug.
If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a
service center.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any
opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything
that may reduce air flow.
Keep the vacuum cleaner away from naked flames or
other heat sources. Do not heat the vacuum cleaner. Do
not expose the vacuum cleaner to direct sunlight.
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or
smoking, e.g., cigarettes, ashes or hot ash, whether glowing
or apparently extinguished.
Do not vacuum up liquid. Allow steam-cleaned or sham-
pooed carpets and rugs to dry out completely before vacu-
uming.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust.
Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers, can
conduct electricity.
Do not vacuum up any flammable or combustible liquids
or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such sub-
stances are stored.
