Miele S 280i - Specific Safety Warnings

@ Use extra care when cleaning on
stairs.
@ Donotuse to pick up flammable or
combustible liquids, such as gas-
oline, or use in areas where they
may be present.
@ When using this appliance in con-
junction with a motorized nozzle
and a current-carrying hose:
- The hose contains electrical
wires. Do not use if damaged,
cut, or punctured. Avoid picking
up sharp objects.
- Always turn off this appliance
before connecting or discon-
necting either the hose or the
motorized nozzle.
@ This appliance is equipped with a
power cord reel:
- Hold the plug when rewinding
onto the cord reel. Do not allow
the plug to whip when rewind-
ing.
@ When using this appliance in con-
junction with the Turbobrush:
- Always unplug before connect-
ing.
WARNING:
Electric shock could occur if the
vacuum cleaner is used outdoors or
on wet surfaces.
@ Always switch off the vacuum
cleaner and disconnect the plug
from the wall outlet before servic-
ing (see ‘Maintenance’). Do not
attempt any other repairs. Other
servicing should be performed by
an authorized Service Agent.
@ Protect your vacuum cleaner from
heat and moisture. Store in a cool,
dry place, away from children and
household traffic.
@ Use only attachments specified by
the manufacturer. Do not use the
blower to operate paint sprayers
or similar devices that emit volatile
or toxic vapors.
@ The vacuum cleaner shuts off
automatically by thermostatic con-
trol if it overheats. Overheating
could be due to a clogged hose, a
heavily soiled dust compartment
or exhaust filter, or a full dustbag. If
this occurs, rectify the problem
and wait about 15 minutes for the
motor to cool down. The vacuum
cleaner can then be switched on
again.
@ Do not switch on or attempt to
operate the vacuum cleaner un-
less a dustbag and dust compart-
ment and exhaust filters are in
place. Use only genuine MIELE
double-layer dustbags and filters
(see ‘Maintenance’ for instructions
on how to insert the dustbag and
filters). If no dustbag has been
inserted, the dust compartment
cover cannot be closed.
DO NOT USE FORCE!
