IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The vacuum cleaner must only be used to vacuum dry floor sur- faces. Do not vacuum people or animals. Any other types of use, modifications, or alterations are not permitted. Persons which lack physical, sensory or mental abilities or experi- ence with the machine should not use it without supervision or in- struction by a responsible person.
Page 6
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the power cord is damaged. If the power cord is damaged it must be replaced together with the cord reel. For safety reasons this must only be done by Miele Service or a Miele authorized service technician.

Accessories To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele turbo- brush, 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.
