When using the adjustable floorhead, if the suction seems too high, reduce the suction until the floorhead is easier to manoeuvre.
Turn the suction power selector manually to the suction power setting you require.
To open the air inlet valve (dia. 25 )
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 manoeuvre. Close the valve when you are ready to use full power again.
During vacuuming
When vacuuming, pull the cleaner behind you on its wheels. You can stand it upright for vacuuming stairs and curtains etc.
When vacuuming, in particular fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster, flour, talcum powder etc., electrostatic charges build up naturally. Under certain
conditions these charges will be released. To avoid the unpleasant effects of these discharges, a metal inlay has been incorporated into the underside of the
handle. Please make sure that you keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during vacuuming (dia. 26).
Setting down, transportation and storage
Park System for pauses during vacuuming (dia. 27)
The Park System allows you to conveniently park the suction tube and floorhead during brief pauses.
Slot the floorhead into the slot in the parking attachment.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a sloping surface, e.g. a ramp, – retract the telescopic suction tube fully – do not use the park system if your vacuum cleaner has an
EasyLock suction tube.
Park System for storage (dia. 28 + 29)
Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power supply when you have finished using it. Switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug
If your vacuum cleaner has an EasyLock suction tube you can separate the two sections for storage purposes
Press the release button on the lower section and pull the top section out.
Push the connection piece attached to the upper tube into the lower tube.
Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.
If your vacuum cleaner has a telescopic suction tube, retract the tubes fully so that it takes up less room for storage
lot the floorhead downwards into one of the parking attachments on the side of the vacuum cleaner.
This makes the vacuum cleaner easier to carry or store.
Maintenance
Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical supply for maintenance work and for cleaning. Switch off at the wall socket and unplug it.
The Miele filtration system consists of three components:
Original Miele dust bag (type GN)
Motor protection filter
Original Miele exhaust filter
These will need to be replaced from time to time to ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs efficiently.
We recommend only using genuine dust bags, filters and accessories with the “ORIGINAL Miele” logo on them. This will ensure that the suction power of the
vacuum cleaner is maintained, giving the best possible cleaning results. Dustbags with the “ORIGINAL Miele” logo on them are not made from paper or paper-
based materials and nor do they have a cardboard collar. This is why our dustbags are particularly long-lasting and reliable. Please note that appliance faults and
damage originating from the use of accessories which do not carry the “ORIGINAL Miele” logo will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Purchasing dustbags and filters
Original Miele dust bags and filters are available from the Miele web shop, the Miele Spare Parts Department and your Miele dealer. Original Miele dust bags and
filters are identified by the “ORIGINAL Miele” logo on the packaging.
