Disposal of packing material

The transport and protective packing

material has been selected from

materials which are environmentally

friendly for disposal and can normally

be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

bags etc. are disposed of safely and

kept out of the reach of babies and

young children. Danger of suffocation!

Rather than just throwing these

materials away, please ensure they are

offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances may contain materials

which can be reclaimed or recycled.

Please contact your dealer, your local

waste collection centre or scrap

merchant about potential recycling

schemes.

Before disposing of an old appliance

first make it unusable. Disconnect it

from the mains, cut the cable off the

appliance as close to the cleaner as

possible and cut the plug off. The plug

cut from the cable should be rendered

useless and then disposed of and on

no account be inserted into any socket

elsewhere in the house (electric shock

hazard).

Make appropriate arrangements for its

safe disposal and make sure that the

appliance presents no danger to

children while being stored for disposal.

Disposing of the dustbag and

filters

These are made from environmentally

friendly materials and can be disposed

of with the normal household waste.

The dustbag should only be disposed

of in this way if it has been used ex

clusively for general household dust.

Description of the appliance

This appliance meets statutory

safety requirements. Inappropriate

use can however lead to personal

injury and damage to property.

Read the operating instructions

carefully before starting to use this

appliance. This way you will prevent

the risk of accidents and damage to

the appliance.

Keep these instructions in a safe

place for future reference, and pass

them on to any future user.

Correct usage

This vacuum cleaner must only be

used in a domestic household

situation to vacuum dry surfaces. Do

not use on people or animals.

Any other usage is at the owner’s risk

and could be dangerous.

The manufacturer cannot be held

responsible for damage resulting from

improper or incorrect use of the

appliance.

Safety with children

Do not let children play with the

vacuum cleaner or its controls.

Supervise its use by older children or

the elderly or infirm.

Before using for the first time

A damaged vacuum cleaner can

be dangerous. Check the

packaging, the vacuum cleaner and

accessories for any signs of damage.

Do not use a damaged appliance.

Ensure that the connection data on

the data plate (voltage and

frequency) match the mains electricity

supply. It is essential that they match to

avoid damage to the appliance.

The plug must be fitted with a 13 A

fuse (UK).

Warning and Safety instructions

Daily use

It important to switch the vacuum

cleaner off before changing over

accessories and floor heads, especially

a Turbo- or Electrobrush.

To avoid the risk of damage, do not

use the vacuum cleaner without the

dustbag, dust compartment filter and

exhaust filter in place.

Do not vacuum up liquids or damp

dirt. This will cause major faults

and could seriously impair the

functioning and electrical safety of the

appliance. Wait until any freshly

cleaned or shampooed carpets or floor

coverings are completely dry before

attempting to vacuum.

Do not vacuum up anything which

has been burning or is still glowing

e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether

glowing or apparently extinguished.

The cleaner might catch fire.

Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,

such as that used in printers and

photocopiers can conduct electricity.

The filter system in the vacuum cleaner

may not filter it completely and so the

toner could be blown back into the

atmosphere by the fan.

Do not vacuum up any inflammable

or combustible liquids or gases

and do not vacuum in areas where

such substances are stored. The

cleaner might explode.

Do not vacuum up items which are

heavy, hard or have sharp edges.

They could cause a blockage and

damage the appliance.

Floor attachments, accessories

and tubes must not be used at

head level to avoid the risk of injury,

e.g. to eyes and ears. Danger of injury.

Do not pull or carry the appliance

by the cable. When disconnecting

from the mains socket pull by the plug

and not by the cable.

- Keep the cable away from sharp

edges and do not let it be squashed,

for example, under a door.

- Avoid running the vacuum cleaner

over the cable.

A damaged cable, plug or socket is a

safety hazard. The appliance must not

be used if any of these have been

damaged.

Monitor the change dustbag

indicator and change the dustbag

if necessary. Check the exhaust and

dust compartment filters at the same

time and change them too if necessary.

A full bag or blocked filter will hamper

the suction power of the cleaner and

can cause it to get so hot that the

temperature limiter switches the cleaner

off automatically, see "Problem solving

guide".

Warning and Safety instructions

Using accessories

The socket on the vacuum cleaner

(depending on model) must only

be used for the Miele Electrobrush

specified for use with this appliance.

To avoid the risk of injury when

vacuuming with a Miele Electro- or

Turbobrush do not touch the rotating

rollerbrush. Danger of injury.

Miele vacuum cleaner bags are

disposable and intended to be

used only once. Do not attempt to

re-use. Blocked pores reduce the

efficiency of the cleaner.

Use only genuine Miele dustbags,

filters and accessories. This will

ensure optimum performance of the

vacuum cleaner throughout its life.

Cleaning, maintenance and

repairs

Always disconnect the vacuum

cleaner from the mains supply for

maintenance work and for cleaning.

Switch off at the wall socket and

remove the plug. Pull on the plug and

not the cable.

Do not let the vacuum cleaner get

wet. Clean only with a dry cloth or

slightly damp cloth when disconnected

from the mains supply. If moisture gets

into the appliance there is the risk of an

electric shock.

Repairs may only be carried out by

a suitably qualified and competent

person in accordance with national and

local safety regulations. Repairs and

other work by unqualified persons

could be dangerous.

Never operate the appliance if it

shows any signs of damage,

particularly to the cable. A damaged

vacuum cleaner is dangerous. A

damaged cable must only be replaced

with a genuine original Miele cable.

Disposing of an old appliance

When disposing of an old

appliance cut the cable off the

appliance as close to the cleaner as

possible and cut the plug off. The plug

cut from the cord should be rendered

useless and then disposed of and on

no account be inserted into any socket

elsewhere in the house (electric shock

hazard). See section "Disposal of your

old appliance" earlier in this booklet for

further advice.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by

non-compliance with these Warning

and Safety instructions.

Warning and Safety instructions

Fitting the tube / telescopic

tube

Fit the tube with the square hole

facing upwards into the vacuum

cleaner housing and gently twist until

it engages.

To remove the tube:

Press the release catch (see inset)

and pull off with a gentle twist.

Fitting the hand piece

^ Fit the hand piece with the square

hole facing upwards into the tube /

telescopic tube and gently twist until

it engages.

To detach the two parts,

^ Press the release catch (see arrow)

and pull the hand piece off with a

gentle twist.

The hand piece can also be fitted

directly to the vacuum cleaner housing.

The cleaner is then easier to use, e.g.

for vacuuming mattresses and

upholstery.

Preparing for use

The tube / telescopic tube can also be

used as a suction tube by fitting it

between the floor attachment and the

cleaner.

This extends the reach of the cleaner,

making it easier to vacuum underneath

low furniture.

Attaching the floor attachment

^ Attach the floor attachment either to

the vacuum cleaner connection stub

or to the end of the tube / telescopic

tube and gently and twist until it

engages.

To remove the floor attachment:

^ Press the release catch (see arrow)

and pull off with a gentle twist.

Rewinding the mains cable

When the cleaner is not in use the

cable can be wound around the two

cable hooks.

Secure the cable by clamping the plug

(depending on country) to the cable

(see inset).

Preparing for use

The following are supplied with the

cleaner:

a Accessories clip

(depending on model)

b Crevice nozzle

c Upholstery nozzle

d Filter frame

The filter frame is supplied separately in

the box only with those models, which

are fitted with an "ACTIVE air clean" or

"HEPA" exhaust filter as standard. The

filter frame needs to be used if you wish

to replace one of these filters with a

"SUPER air clean" filter at a future date

(see "Replacing one type of filter with

another").

Accessories clip

(depending on model)

^ Attach the acccessories clip to the

tube / telescopic tube when needed

Push the accessories clip down over

the cable hook ring until it clicks into

position b.

Fit accessories (crevice and upholstery

nozzles) to the clip as shown.

Using the accessories supplied

Crevice nozzle

for cleaning in folds, crevices or

corners.

Upholstery nozzle

For cleaning upholstery, mattresses,

cushions, curtains, etc.

Using the accessories supplied

Unwinding the mains cable

The lower cable hook swivels round.

Turn it upwards so that the cable can

be removed easily.

Adjusting the telescopic tube

(depending on model)

One part of the telescopic tube is

packed inside the other and can be

adjusted to suit your height for

comfortable vacuum cleaning.

^ Press the telescopic tube release

button (see arrow) to adjust to the

required length.

Switching on

Insert the plug into a suitable

switched socket (U.K.).

To prevent the cable from getting in

the way whilst you are vacuuming,

hang the unwound cable over the

cable hook in the handle (see inset).

This also takes the strain off the

cable-entry bush.

Use

Switching the vacuum cleaner

on and off

To enable the vacuum cleaner to be

conveniently operated in any

vacuum-cleaning situation, two

separate switches have been

integrated into the unit’s handle. Either

of the switches can be used to operate

the vacuum cleaner.

Double slide switch

0 = Appliance is switched off

min = Reduced suction

max = Maximum suction

^ To turn the appliance on, slide either

switch to either the min or max.

^ To turn the appliance off, slide either

switch to the 0 position.

Select min for vacuuming lightweight

items such as rugs or curtains.

Use

Adjusting the suction power

(depending on model)

On some models the suction power can

be regulated to suit the type of flooring.

The higher the setting the more

powerful the suction. Select the suction

setting to suit the amount of dirt and the

type of material to be vacuumed.

Slightly soiled and smooth floor

coverings can be cleaned at an

energy-saving medium setting,

whereas thick-pile and fitted carpets

require the highest setting to ensure

deep-seated dirt is thoroughly

removed. The highest setting should

also be selected if a Turbobrush is

used.

Adjusting the floor attachment

to the type of floor covering

The floorhead can be used for all

normal cleaning of carpets and rugs. It

can also be used with the brush

protruding to vacuum hard flooring

which is not susceptible to scratching.

For hard flooring, such as stone and

floors which are susceptible to

scratching, e.g. parquet, we

recommend using one of the special

Miele floor brushes (see "Accessories

available as optional extras").

Vacuum carpets and rugs with the

brush retracted:

Press the foot switch to g.

Clean hard flooring which is not

susceptible to scratching with the brush

protruding:

Press the foot switch to h.

Use

The end cap on the telescopic

handpiece is made from slip-proof

plastic. During short vacuuming breaks,

the appliance can be leaned upright

against a wall or furniture.

Before leaving the vacuum cleaner,

make sure it is switched off and if

you lean against the wall make sure

it is at a safe angle so that it cannot

fall over.

When using the floor brush or the

parquet floor brush we recommend that

you hang the vacuum cleaner up when

storing it, to protect the bristles.

For longer term storage, the vacuum

cleaner can also be hung on a wall

hook by using the grommet integrated

in the handle.

Setting down, transportation and storage

Always disconnect the vacuum

cleaner from the electrical supply for

maintenance work and for cleaning.

Switch off at the wall socket and

remove the plug.

The Miele filter system consists of three

filters which must be replaced from time

to time to ensure efficient suction.

a Dustbag

b Dust compartment filter (for motor

protection)

c Exhaust filter

Use only genuine Miele dustbags

and filters. This ensures optimum

performance of the vacuum cleaner.

c Exhaust filter

Depending on model, your vacuum

cleaner will be fitted with one of the

following exhaust filters:

a a SUPER air clean filter,

b an ACTIVE air clean filter or

c a HEPA filter

Maintenance and care

Dustbag change indicator

This indicates when the dustbag needs

to be changed.

The attachment used can affect the

function of the dustbag change

indicator. Therefore only test with the

floor attachment fitted.

Switch the vacuum cleaner on and

select the highest power setting.

Lift the floor attachment off the floor a

little.

If the red marker completely fills the

indicator window, the dustbag must be

changed, even if it is not completely

full.

Please note

This indicator measures the air

permeability of the dustbag.

Even if just a few grammes of flour, fine

cement of brick dust are sucked up,

these fine particles can also affect the

permeability of the dustbag, thus

causing the red scale indictor to show

that the bag is "full", athough it is

virtually empty. The dustbag should,

however, be changed in this case, as

the suction power is greatly reduced.

On the other hand the bag may be

bulging with wool or carpet fluff, but the

air permeability may still be high

enough not to activate the red indicator

to maximum. The dustbag should,

however, still be changed.

Both these extremes can occur.

Normally, however, common household

dust is composed of carpet fluff, hair

and grit, i.e. a mixture.

The Miele dustbag change indicator is

designed principally to deal with this

kind of use.

We recommend

1. If you vacuum up a lot of fine dust or

sand:

Change the dustbag as soon as the

red scale fills the window, even if the

bag is not full.

2. If you have vacuumed up a lot of

carpet fluff and hair and the dustbag

is full although the indicator only

shows half full (please check

regularly):

Change the dustbag.

Maintenance and care

When should the dustbag and

filter be changed?

Dustbag

When the red marker completely fills

the indicator window (please note the

information given in "Dustbag change

indicator").

Miele vacuum cleaner bags are

disposable and intended to be used

only once. Clogged pores in a used

bag will reduce the suction power of

the cleaner.

Dust compartment filter (for motor

protection)

Replace the dust compartment filter

every time you start a new packet of

dustbags.

A dust compartment filter is supplied

with every packet of Miele dustbags.

Exhaust filter

(see "Exhaust filter" in previous section)

SUPER air clean filter

Replace the SUPER air clean filter

every time you start a new packet of

dustbags.

A SUPER air clean filter is supplied with

every packet of Miele dustbags.

ACTIVE air clean filter

About once a year or as soon as the

filter no longer absorbs unpleasant

odours.

Make sure that you purchase a

replacement in good time.

HEPA Filter

About once a year or as soon as air

permeability is reduced to an

unsatisfactory level.

Make sure that you purchase a

replacement in good time.

Purchasing new dustbags and

filters

Replacement dustbags and filters can

be obtained from your local Miele

Dealer or direct from the Miele Spare

Parts Department.

Order Miele dustbags with the letter

K/K.

A "SUPER air clean" exhaust filter and a

dust compartment filter are supplied

with every packet of Miele dustbags.

Maintenance and care

Replacing the dustbag

Press the release catch for the dust

compartment lid and raise the lid until

it clicks into place.

The dustbag has a collar which closes

automatically when the dustbag is

removed to prevent any dust escaping.

^ Holding the bag by the collar, lift it

away from the suction socket and

then pull it out of its holder.

The dustbag can be disposed of with

the normal household waste as long as

it has only been used for vacuuming up

normal household dust and not

hazardous materials.

Do not unfold the bag when you take it

out of the packet. Keeping it folded will

prevent it from getting trapped when

the dust compartment lid is closed.

Slide the collar of the new dustbag

into the empty holder until it is

secured in position.

Close the dust compartment lid

firmly. When the lid is closed the

holder automatically draws the bag

collar over the inlet stub.

If there is no dustbag in the

holder, or the dustbag has not been

inserted correctly, the compartment

lid will not close properly.

Do not attempt to force the lid shut.

Maintenance and care

Replacing the dust

compartment filter (motor

protection)

Press the release catch for the dust

compartment lid and raise the lid until

it clicks into position.

A new dust compartment filter is

included with every pack of Miele

dustbags.

^ Unclip the filter frame, remove the old

filter and replace with a new one.

^ Close the filter frame firmly.

^ Close the dust compartment lid

firmly.

Maintenance and care

Replacing a "SUPER air clean"

filter

Press the release catch for the

exhaust filter compartment lid located

on the rear of the vacuum cleaner

and remove the lid.

^ Remove the used filter, holding by the

clean, unsoiled section, and replace

it with a new one.

Replace the lid and close it again.

Maintenance and care

Replacing an "ACTIVE air

clean" or "HEPA" filter

Press the release catch for the

exhaust filter compartment lid located

on the rear of the vacuum cleaner

and remove the lid.

^ Remove the used filter from the lid

and replace it with a new one.

^ Make a note of the replacement date

on the label on the new filter.

Replace the lid and close it again.

Maintenance and care

Replacing the thread lifters

The thread lifters on the suction

aperture of the floor attachment and the

upholstery nozzle should be checked

from time to time and replaced if the

pile is worn.

Use a knife or similar object to

remove them from the slots.

Fit the new thread lifters.

These are available from your Miele

dealer or from the Miele Spare Parts

Department.

Maintenance and care

Depending on model, your vacuum

cleaner is fitted with one of the following

exhaust filters as standard:

a SUPER air clean

b ACTIVE air clean

c HEPA

You may use one of the other filters

instead of the one supplied as standard

with your vacuum cleaner if you wish.

See "Accessories available as optional

extras" for an explanation of the

differences between the filter types.

Please note

1. If you wish to replace filter a with filter

b or c, the filter frame in the lid of the

exhaust filter compartment must be

removed. The new filter should be fitted

in its place.

2. If you want to replace filter b or c with

filter a the filter frame must be fitted in

the lid of the exhaust filter

compartment.

To remove or insert the filter frame

Grasp the sides of the filter frame in

the positions shown by the arrows

and squeeze. The frame can then be

inserted or removed as desired.

Replacing one type of filter with another

Always disconnect the vacuum

cleaner from the electricity supply

for maintenance work and for

cleaning. Switch off at the wall

socket and remove the plug (pull on

the plug, not the cable).

Vacuum cleaner and accessories

External surfaces of the vacuum

cleaner and all plastic accessories can

be cleaned with a dry cloth or a slightly

damp cloth or with a proprietary

cleaner suitable for plastic.

Do not use an abrasive cleaner,

a glass cleaner or an all-purpose

cleaner.

Because of their chemical

composition they could cause

serious damage to the plastic

casing.

Dust compartment

The dust compartment can, if

necessary, be cleaned using a dry

duster, dusting brush or, if available, a

second vacuum cleaner to suck the

dust out.

Never immerse the vacuum

cleaner in water or let it get wet. If

moisture gets into the appliance

there is the risk of an electric shock.

Cleaning and care

Turbobrush

The Turbobrush is particularly suitable

for vacuuming cut pile carpeting and is

operated by the suction power of the

vacuum cleaner. It has a rotating brush

which is very effective at picking up

thread, hairs and fluff.

It is also important to observe the

flooring manufacturer’s cleaning and

care instructions.

Hand-held Turbobrush

The hand-held Turbobrush is intended

for vacuuming upholstery, mattresses,

car seats, carpeted stairs and other

areas inaccessible to the standard

Turbobrush.

Electrobrush SEB 217

(standard or optional accessory

depending on model)

(Only for models with an Electrobrush

socket)

The Electrobrush is particularly suitable

for intensive vacuuming of carpets

which are subject to hard wear. It is

very effective at removing deep seated

dirt and preventing areas of frequent

use being trodden into a path.

It is also important to observe the

flooring manufacturer’s cleaning and

care instructions.

Accessories available as optional extras

Hard floor brush

(not available in all countries)

for vacuuming smooth flooring, such as

stone, tiles, PVC.

Parquet floor brush

(standard or optional accessory

depending on model)

Special brush with genuine horsehair

bristles for cleaning parquet floors,

floorboards and laminate flooring which

is susceptible to scratching.

Accessories available as optional extras

Cylinder vacuum cleaner accessories

Cylinder cleaner accessories can be

attached to the tube / telescopic

suction tube on your compact cleaner

to give greater versatility.

This can enable you, for example, to

reach high up areas, e.g. the tops of

door frames, book shelves and curtains

more easily.

Reaching underneath low pieces of

furniture such as wardrobes and beds

is also easier.

Important

When purchasing cylinder cleaner

accessories, make sure you give the

correct model number of your compact

vacuum cleaner.

Accessories available as optional extras

Dusting brush

For cleaning skirting boards, ornate or

carved articles, etc.

The head of the dusting brush can be

swivelled to attain the best cleaning

position.

Universal brush

For dusting books, shelves etc.

Accessories clip

(standard or optional accessory

depending on model)

This is used to hold the crevice nozzle

and upholstery nozzle.

Accessories available as optional extras

Radiator brush

For cleaning radiators, narrow shelves

or crevices.

Attach the radiator brush to the

crevice nozzle.

Mattress nozzle

For cleaning upholstery, mattresses,

cushions, curtains, covers etc.

Accessories available as optional extras

ACTIVE air clean filter

(standard or optional accessory

depending on model)

This is a special active charcoal filter

which absorbs odours from the dust

collected in the dustbag. It helps,

therefore to prevent the build up of

odours.

The ACTIVE air clean filter can used in

place of the existing filter. There is no

difference in filtration level between the

ACTIVE air clean filter and the SUPER

air clean filter. See "Replacing one type

of filter with another".

Do not use aroma capsules in your

cleaner if it is fitted with this filter.

HEPA filter

(standard or optional accessory

depending on model)

This is a HEPA class particle filter

conforming to EN 1822. It is able to

filter out very fine particles and

microorganisms.

Vacuum cleaners equipped with this

exhaust filter are particularly suitable for

allergy sufferers and those concerned

with a high level of hygiene.

The "HEPA filter" can be used in place

of the existing exhaust filter. See

"Replacing one type of filter with

another".

Do not use aroma capsules in your

cleaner if it is fitted with this filter.

Accessories available as optional extras

The vacuum cleaner switches itself

off.

A temperature limiter switches the

vacuum cleaner off automatically if it

gets too hot.

This can occur if, for instance, large

articles block the suction tube or when

the dustbag is full or contains particles

of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or

dust compartment filter can also be the

cause of overheating. In this case,

please switch off the vacuum cleaner.

After removing the cause, wait for

approx. 20 - 30 minutes, so that the

vacuum cleaner can cool down. It can

then be switched on again.
