This vacuum cleaner complies with statutory safety requirements. Improper use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the vacuum cleaner, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, operation and maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.

Correct application

This vacuum cleaner is not designed for commercial use. It is intended for use in domestic households and similar working and residential environments.
The vacuum cleaner is not intended for outdoor use.
The vacuum cleaner must only be used for domestic household purposes to vacuum dry floor surfaces. Do not use on people or animals. Any other usage, modification or alteration is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
This appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Safety with children

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appliance unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the vacuum cleaner unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the vacuum cleaner and do not let them play with it.

Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

Technical safety

Before using the vacuum cleaner, check for any visible 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 exactly.
The plug must be fitted with a 13 A fuse (UK).
While the vacuum cleaner is under guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.

Do not pull or carry the appliance by the cable, and be careful not to damage the cable when withdrawing the plug from the socket.
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. This could damage the cable, plug or socket. The appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered damage.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the cable is damaged. If the cable is damaged it must be replaced together with a complete cable rewind. For safety reasons this work must be done by the Miele Service Department or a Miele authorised service technician.
The socket on the vacuum cleaner (depending on model) must only be used for the Miele Electrobrush specified for use with this appliance.
When vacuuming especially 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.
Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the mains supply when you have finished using it, before changing over accessories, as well as for maintenance work and cleaning. Switch the vacuum cleaner off at the wall socket and unplug it.

Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. Clean only with a dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from the mains supply.

Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorised service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

Correct use

To avoid the risk of damage, do not use the vacuum cleaner without the dustbag, dust compartment filter and exhaust filter in place.
If the dustbag is not fitted correctly, the dust compartment cover does not normally close. Do not force it.
Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or is still glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or coal, whether glowing or apparently extinguished.
Do not vacuum up any water, liquid or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed carpets or floor coverings are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
Do not vacuum up any inflammable or combustible matter or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored.
Floor attachments, accessories and tubes must not be used at head level to avoid the risk of injury, e.g. to eyes and ears.

en - Warning and Safety instructions

Important information on the handling of batteries:
- Do not short circuit or recharge batteries, or throw them into a fire.
- Disposing of batteries: Remove the batteries from the LED handle and dispose of them in your recycling bin. Do not dispose of them with the normal household waste.

Accessories

To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele Electrobrush or 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.
- Only use genuine dustbags, filters, accessories and optional accessories with the "Original Miele" logo on them. This will ensure optimum performance of the appliance throughout its life.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect use or operation or by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Disposal of packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum cleaner from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.

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.

Disposing of the dustbag and filters

These are made from environmentally friendly materials. The filters can be disposed of with the normal household waste. The dustbag can also be disposed of in this way if it has been used exclusively for general household dust.

Disposing of your old appliance

Before disposing of your old appliance remove the dustbag and all the filters and dispose of them with your normal household waste.

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

MIELE S8 UNIQ - Disposing of your old appliance - 1

    After approx. 30 seconds the parking system lighting switches off again.
    Press the rewind foot switch briefly. The cable will rewind automatically.

Switching on and off (dia. 21)

Press the On/Off foot control ①.

Regulating the suction

The suction power can be regulated to suit the type of flooring being cleaned. Reducing the suction power reduces the amount of effort required to manoeuvre the floorhead.

Some models also have symbols on the controls. The symbols indicate the type of use the settings are suitable for.

The setting selected will light up yellow.

  • curtains, lightweight fabrics
  • upholstery, cushions
  • thick pile carpets, rugs and runners

Auto = suction power is automatically adjusted for the type of floor being vacuumed

Do not use the "Auto" setting to vacuum lightweight materials or curtains. These could be sucked in and possibly damaged.

  • for daily energy-saving vacuuming (this setting is also very quiet)

  • loop-pile carpets

  • hard flooring and for intensive cleaning of carpets

When using the AirTeQ floorhead, if the suction seems too high, reduce the suction until the floorhead is easier to manoeuvre.

  • When vacuuming, pull the cleaner behind you on its wheels. You can stand it upright for vacuuming stairs and curtains etc.

When vacuuming especially 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.

Illuminating the work area (dia. 25)

Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with an LED on the handle to illuminate the work area.

Press the button on the LED handle.

It will switch itself off automatically after approx. 30 seconds.

Setting down, transportation and storage

Parking system for pauses in vacuuming (dia. 26)

(cannot be used with the SEB 234 L Electro Premium Electrobrush)

A parking system has been designed for conveniently parking the suction tube and floorhead during pauses.

Slot the floorhead into the parking attachment at the back of the vacuum cleaner.

If the vacuum cleaner is on a sloping surface, e.g. a ramp, retract the suction tube fully.

Switching on and off with the parking system

The vacuum cleaner switches off automatically when the floor head is slotted into the parking system with the parking attachment.

When the floorhead is removed from the parking system the vacuum cleaner switches back on at the last selected power level.

Parking system for storage (dia. 27)

Warning. Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical supply when you have finished using it. Switch the vacuum cleaner off at the wall socket and unplug it.

The parking system lighting will switch off approx. 30 seconds after disconnecting the vacuum cleaner from the mains.

  • Stand the vacuum cleaner upright when it is not being used and when it is being stored.

Retract the suction tube fully.

Slot the floorhead downwards into one of the illuminated parking attachments on either side of the vacuum cleaner (the parking attachments cannot be used with the SEB 234 L Electrobrush).

This makes the vacuum cleaner easier to carry or store.

Maintenance

Warning: 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 filters which must be replaced from time to time to ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs efficiently.

  • Dustbag
  • Dust compartment filter (for motor protection)
  • Exhaust filter

Only use genuine dustbags, filters, accessories and optional accessories with the "Original Miele" logo on them. Only this will ensure that the suction power of the vacuum cleaner is maintained, giving the best possible cleaning results.

Warning: The use of dustbags made from paper or paper-based materials, or dustbags with a cardboard collar, or dustbags that do not carry the "Original Miele" logo, can seriously damage the vacuum cleaner and invalidate the warranty.

Purchasing new dustbags and filters

Original Miele dustbags and filters can be ordered from your Miele retailer, from Miele or online at:

MIELE S8 UNIQ - Purchasing new dustbags and filters - 1

Ordering the correct dustbags and filters

Only use original Miele G/N dustbags with a blue collar. Using any other dustbags will damage the vacuum cleaner. Original Miele dustbags are identified by the "Original Miele" logo on the packaging or directly on the dustbag.

MIELE S8 UNIQ - Ordering the correct dustbags and filters - 1

MIELE S8 UNIQ - Ordering the correct dustbags and filters - 2

An Air Clean exhaust filter and a dust compartment filter are supplied with every packet of Miele dustbags.

If you wish to purchase original Miele exhaust filters separately, please quote the model number of your appliance when ordering to ensure you get the correct items.

When to change the dustbag (dia. 28)

Change the dustbag when the colour marker in the dustbag change indicator fills the display, or sooner if it is no longer effective (see possible reasons for this below).

Miele dustbags are disposable and designed for single use only.

Dispose of the dustbag when it is full. Do not attempt to reuse as suction would be reduced.

Checking the dustbag change indicator

  • Attach the AllTeQ or AirTeQ floorhead.
  • Switch the vacuum cleaner on and select the maximum power setting.
    Lift the floorhead off the floor a little.

How the dustbag change indicator works

The dustbag change indicator is set for normal household dust. This generally contains a mixture of: dust, hair, threads, carpet fluff, grit etc.

However, if the cleaner has been used to vacuum up fine dust, such as plaster, brick dust, cement or flour, the pores of the dustbag will become blocked very quickly. This affects the air permeability of the bag, and the marker will indicate that it is "full" even when it is not. If this happens you must still change the dustbag because suction power will be greatly reduced by blocked pores in the dustbag.

If, on the other hand, a large amount of hair and carpet fluff which typically contains a lot of air is vacuumed up, the indicator may fail to react even though the bag is full. You should still change it. Both these extremes can occur.

How to replace the dustbag (dia. 29 + 30)

  • Lift the release catch for the dust compartment lid and raise the lid as far as it will go (dia. 11).

The dustbag has a closing flap which closes automatically when the dust compartment lid is raised to prevent any dust escaping.

Pull the dustbag out by the grip on the collar.
Fit the new dustbag into the blue holder as far as it will go. Leave it folded up when you take it out of the box.

It should be unfolded as far as possible in the dust compartment.
- Close the dust compartment lid securely, making sure it clicks into position. Take care not to trap the dustbag when doing so.

Warning: The lid will not close without a dustbag in place. Do not use force.

When to change the dust compartment filter (for motor protection)

Replace this filter every time you start a new packet of dustbags. A dust compartment filter is supplied with every packet of Miele dustbags.

How to change the dust compartment filter (dia. 31)

Open the dust compartment lid.
Pull the dustbag out by the grip on the collar.
- Open the blue filter frame and remove the old filter. Hold by the clean, unsoiled section to remove it.
Replace with a new dust compartment filter.
Close the filter frame.
Fit the dustbag into the blue holder as far as it will go.
- Close the dust compartment lid securely, making sure it clicks into position. Take care not to trap the dustbag when doing so.

When to change the HEPA AirClean 50 exhaust filter (dia. 15)

Replace the exhaust filter if the exhaust filter change indicator is completely red.

This occurs after approx. 50 operating hours, or approx. one year of average use. The vacuum cleaner can still be used. However, the suction power will be reduced as will the effectiveness of the filter if it is not replaced in good time.

You can replace the HEPA AirClean 50 exhaust filter fitted in the vacuum cleaner with one of the other Miele exhaust filters if you wish (see "Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another").

How to change the HEPA AirClean 50 exhaust filter (dia. 32 + 33

Do not use more than one exhaust filter at a time.

  • Open the dust compartment lid.
    Lift the filter and remove it.
    Replace with a new filter, and push it down into place.
    Press the exhaust filter change indicator (dia. 13).
    After approx. 10 - 15 seconds a thin red stripe will appear in the left hand side of the strip (dia. 14).

If you wish to use an Air Clean filter, see "Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another".

Close the dust compartment lid.

Replacing one type of exhaust filter with another

Do not use more than one exhaust filter at a time.

You can replace the standard HEPA AirClean 50 filter c with either one of the following exhaust filters:

a Air Clean
b ActiveAirClean 50.

When replacing the HEPA AirClean 50 filter with an Air Clean filter, please note (dia. 34)

If you wish to replace the HEPA AirClean 50 filter c with an Air Clean filter a, then it is essential that you also fit the filter grille (See "Optional accessories").

Maintenance indicator with reset button (dia. 35)

The indicator lights up after approx. 50 hours of operation, which is equivalent to about a year of average use. The level of soiling of the dust compartment filter and the exhaust filter must be checked at this point and if the filters are replaced, the indicator must be reset. To do this the vacuum cleaner must be switched on.

Press the reset button.

The maintenance indicator and reset button will go out and reset to zero.

The indicator can only be reset by pressing the reset button after the light has come on. Pressing the button at any other time will have no effect.

Inserting batteries into the LED handle (dia. 9 + 10)

You will need three 1.5 V (AAA) batteries.

① Loosen the screws on the cover.
(2) Press down on both sides of the cover to remove.
(3) Take out the battery holder and change the three batteries, making sure they are the right way round.
(4) Replace the battery holder. In the direction of the arrows on the holder and battery compartment, so that both line up.
⑤ Replace the cover and tighten the screws.

When to change the thread lifters

The thread lifters on the suction inlet of the floorhead can be replaced.

Check them from time to time and replace them if the pile has worn down.

How to replace the thread lifters

AllTeQ floorhead (dia. 36)

Use a suitable screwdriver to remove the thread lifters from the slots. There are two grooves to help you.
Fit new thread lifters.

AirTeQ floorhead (dia. 37)

Use a suitable screwdriver to remove the thread lifters from the slots.

(1) Release the bearing (with bayonet fitting) using a coin.
(2) Press the bearing out, and remove it.
③ Take out the roller.

Remove any threads and hair, replace the roller and refit the bearing.

Replacement parts are available from your Miele retailer or from Miele (see back cover for contact details).

Cleaning and care

Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical supply before cleaning it. Switch off at the wall socket and unplug it.

Vacuum cleaners with textile velvet finish

Clean the vacuum cleaner casing with the dusting brush or a slightly damp cloth.

Vacuum cleaner and accessories

External surfaces of the vacuum cleaner and of the accessories can be cleaned with a proprietary cleaner suitable for plastic.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, glass cleaning agents, all-purpose cleaners or oil-based conditioning agents.

Dust compartment

The dust compartment can, if necessary, be cleaned using a dry duster, brush or, if available, a second vacuum cleaner to vacuum the dust out.

Warning: Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. If moisture gets into the appliance, there is a risk of electric shock.

Problem solving guide

The vacuum cleaner switches off automatically.

The overheating warning light also comes on (dia 39).

A temperature limiter switches the vacuum cleaner off automatically if it gets too hot. The overheating warning light will then come on to indicate that it has overheated.

This can occur if, for instance, large articles block the suction tube or when the filter bag is full or contains particles of fine dust. A heavily soiled dust compartment or exhaust filter can also be the cause of overheating. Switch the vacuum cleaner off immediately using the On/Off foot control ①. Disconnect it from the electricity supply. Switch it off at the wall socket and unplug it.

After removing the cause, wait for approx. 20 - 30 minutes to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down. It can then be switched on again.

The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug, (as applicable to the design of plug fitted).

Replacement fuses should be ASTA approved to BS1362 and have the correct rating. Replacement fuses and fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical supplier.
