READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS AP-

PLIANCE

This vacuum cleaner complies with current safety re-

quirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to per-

sonal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the vacuum

cleaner, please read the operating instructions carefully

before using it for the first time. They contain important

information on its safety, operation and maintenance.

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and

pass them on to any future user.

Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power

supply when you have finished using it, before changing

any accessories, as well as for maintenance work and

cleaning. Turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug it.

Correct use

 This vacuum cleaner is intended for cleaning flooring in

domestic households and similar residential environments.

 This vacuum cleaner can be used for all normal cleaning

of carpets, rugs and hard flooring.

 This vacuum cleaner is not intended for outdoor use.

 The vacuum cleaner must only be used to vacuum dry

floor surfaces. Do not use on people and animals. Any

other usage, modification or alteration is not supported by

the manufacturer and could be dangerous.

en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

5

 Persons which lack physical, sensory or mental abilities

or experience with the machine should not use it without

supervision or instruction by a responsible person.

Safety with children

 Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrap-

pings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the

reach of children.

 Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy.

Close attention is necessary when used near children.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

 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 qual-

ified electrician. Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a

higher voltage than indicated in these instructions may re-

sult 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 out-

let. Do not alter the plug in any way.

T

echnical safety

 Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories,

check for any visible signs of damage. Do not use a dam-

aged appliance.

 Ensure that the connection data on the data plate of the

vacuum cleaner (voltage and frequency) match the house-

hold power supply. Without modifications, the vacuum

cleaner is suited for 50Hz or 60Hz.

 The electrical outlet must be fitted with a 15A fuse.

 Reliable and safe operation of this vacuum cleaner can

only be assured if it has been connected to the electricity

supply.

 Repairs should only be performed by an authorized ser-

vice agent in accordance with national and local safety

regulations. Unauthorized repairs could cause injury or

machine damage. Otherwise the warranty may be void.

 Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the power

cord, and be careful not to damage the cord when with-

drawing the plug from the socket. Keep the cord away

from sharp edges and do not let it get pinched, for exam-

ple, under a door. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over

the cord. This could damage the cord, plug or socket. The

appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered

damage.

en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

7

 Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the power cord is

damaged. If the power cord is damaged it must be re-

placed together with the cord reel. For safety reasons this

must only be done by Miele Technical Service or a Miele

authorized service technician.

 Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele-authorized

service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified

persons can cause considerable danger to users.

 Defective components should be replaced by Miele orig-

inal parts only. Only with these parts can safety of the ap-

pliance be assured as intended by the manufacturer.

Cleaning

 Do not immerse the vacuum cleaner or any accessories

supplied with it in water.

 Clean only with a dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when

disconnected from the power supply. Exception:

en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

parts with water and a small amount of liquid dish soap,

then dry carefully.

– Fine dust filter: do not clean the inside of the fine dust

filter. Rinse the outside under running cold water. Do not

use soap. Do not use any sharp or pointed objects and

do not brush the fine dust filter. After cleaning, leave the

fine dust filter to dry for a minimum of 24hours before

placing it back in the fine dust container.

– Pre-filter / filter frame: clean these parts under running

cold water. Do not use soap. Do not use any sharp or

pointed objects. Dry these parts carefully after cleaning.

Proper use

 Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the dust con-

tainer, pre-filter, fine dust container and fine dust filter fit-

ted.

 Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or

smoking, e.g., cigarettes, ashes or hot ash, whether glow-

ing or apparently extinguished.

 Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water,

liquid or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or sham-

pooed rugs or carpets are completely dry before attempt-

ing to vacuum.

 Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust.

or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such sub-

stances are stored.

 Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction

get anywhere near a person's head.

Accessories

 To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele

turbobrush, do not touch the rotating roller brush.

 It is not advisable to vacuum directly with the handle,

i.e., without an accessory attached, as the rim could get

damaged and you could hurt yourself on sharp edges.

Disposal of the packing mate-

rial

The cardboard box and packing materi-

als protect the appliance during ship-

ping. They have been designed to be

biodegradable and recyclable.

and components which are essential for

the proper functioning and safe use of

the equipment. Handling these materi-

als improperly by disposing of them in

your household waste can be harmful to

your health and the environment. There-

fore, please do not dispose of your old

appliance with your regular household

waste.

Instead, use the official collection and

disposal points provided by local au-

thorities, dealers or Miele, in order to

dispose of and recycle electrical and

Use

Power cord

 Unwind the cord completely to

aid the vacuum in dissipating heat.

Do not pull or carry by the cord, use

the cord as a handle, close a door on

the cord, or pull the cord around

sharp edges or corners. Do not run

the appliance over the cord. Keep

the cord away from heated surfaces.

Do not unplug by pulling the cord. To

unplug grasp the plug, not the cord.

It is easy to reduce the suction power

for a short time, e.g., to prevent rugs or

other objects being sucked into the

vacuum cleaner.

 Open the air inlet valve on the handle

far enough to reduce the suction

power.

The floorhead will be easier to maneu-

ver.

During vacuuming

 When vacuuming, pull the vacuum

cleaner behind you on its wheels. You

can stand it upright for vacuuming

stairs and curtains, etc.

If you are vacuuming a large amount of

dust at once, the ComfortClean self-

cleaning function should be started

manually either during a vacuuming

pause or immediately afterward. This

enables the vacuum cleaner to achieve

the very best cleaning performance

right away (see "Maintenance - Starting

the ComfortClean self-cleaning

function manually").

Parking, transport and storage

Park system for pauses during

vacu-uming (Fig. 17)

The park system allows you to conve-

niently park the suction wand and floor-

head during pauses.

 Slot the floorhead into the parking at-

tachment on the vacuum cleaner.

If your vacuum cleaner is on a slop-

ing surface, e.g., a ramp, retract the

telescopic suction wand fully.

Park system for storage (Fig. 18

)

 Always disconnect the vacuum

cleaner from the power supply when

you have finished using it. Unplug

the power cord from the outlet.

 Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.

 Retract the telescopic suction wand

fully.

 Slot the floorhead down into the

parking attachment on the vacuum

cleaner.

This makes the vacuum cleaner easier

to carry or store.

 For safety reasons, do not lift the

vacuum cleaner using the dust con-

tainer carrying handle.

en-US

17

Maintenance

 Always switch off the vacuum

cleaner for maintenance work and

container(Fig. 19 - 24)

 Empty the dust container before the

dust has reached the max marking

on the dust container.

 Pull the dust container handle up-

ward.

 Remove the dust container upward.

The contents of the dust compartment

can be disposed of with the normal

household trash, providing it contains

general household dust only.

 Hold the dust container close to the

trash can so that as little dust billows

out as possible.

 Press the yellow release button on

the bottom of the dust container.

The flap will open and the dust will fall

out.

 Close the flap firmly. It should click

into place.

 Insert the dust container down into

the vacuum cleaner so that it audibly

clicks into place.

 Push the handle down.

Cleaning the dust container

Clean the dust container as required.

 Clean the dust container using water

and liquid dish soap.

 Dry the dust container carefully.

Cleaning the filter frame(Fig. 25 + 26

)

A removable filter frame is located in the

dust container. This should be cleaned

if it is obviously dirty.

 Place the emptied and open dust

container on its front.

 Release the filter frame and remove it.

 Empty the filter frame and rinse it un-

der cold running water.

 Do not use detergent!

Do not use any sharp or pointed ob-

jects!

Dry the filter frame carefully!

 Place the dry filter frame in the dust

container so that it audibly clicks into

place.

Cleaning the fine dust filter

The fine dust filter is equipped with a

self-cleaning function. When a specified

degree of soiling is reached, the vac-

uum cleaner switches off automatically

for approx. 20seconds and carries out

a cleaning process. You will hear this

process running.

The ComfortClean button on the vac-

uum cleaner lights up yellow.

Starting the ComfortClean self-clean-

ing function manually(Fig. 27

)

If you are vacuuming a large amount of

dust at once, the ComfortClean self-

cleaning function should be started

manually either during a vacuuming

pause or immediately afterward. This

enables the vacuum cleaner to achieve

the very best cleaning performance

again right away.

en-US

18

 With the vacuum cleaner switched

on, press the ComfortClean button

for at least two seconds.

The vacuum cleaner is switched off au-

tomatically for approx. 20 seconds and

a cleaning process is carried out which

results in operational noise.

The ComfortClean button on the vac-

uum cleaner lights up yellow.

The vacuum cleaner will then switch

back on automatically and will operate

with the previously selected setting.

We also recommend emptying and

cleaning the fine dust container once or

twice a year (see “Frequently asked

questions – Cleaning the fine dust filter

manually”).

When to change the thread catchers?

(only possible for models with a re-

versible floorhead included as standard)

The thread catchers on the suction inlet

of the reversible floorhead can be re-

placed. Check them from time to time

and replace them if the pile has worn

down.

How to replace the thread lifters

(Fig.

28

+ 29)

 Use a suitable screwdriver to remove

the thread lifters from the slots.

 Install new thread lifters.

Replacement parts are available from

your Miele dealer or through Miele

Service.

Cleaning and care

 Always switch off the vacuum

cleaner before cleaning it and unplug

the power cord from the outlet.

Vacuum cleaner and accessories

The vacuum cleaner and all plastic ac-

cessories can be cleaned with a com-

mercially available cleaner suitable for

plastic.

Follow the special cleaning instruc-

tions for the dust container and filter

frame in “Maintenance” and for the

fine dust filter, the pre-filter, and the

fine dust container in “Frequently

asked questions”.

 Do not use abrasive cleaning

agents, glass cleaning agents, all-

purpose cleaners, or oil-based con-

ditioning agents.

 Do not let the vacuum cleaner

get wet. If moisture gets into the vac-

uum cleaner, there is a risk of electric

shock.
