MIELE Scout RX3 - Technical safety - 1

It is classified as a class III appliance.

This appliance is supplied by a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) power source where the voltage is low enough to protect users from the risk of electrical shock. A Class II plug-in power supply is used for supplying power to charge the robot vacuum cleaner.

Before each use of the robot vacuum cleaner, check both the vacuum cleaner and all of the accessories supplied with it for any visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged robot vacuum cleaner or accessory. The power socket for connecting the base station must be fitted with a 16 A or 10 A fuse. ▶ AUS/NZ: The mains electrical outlet must be fitted with an appropriate circuit breaker. ▶ Compare the connection data on the data plate of the robot vacuum cleaner and the power supply unit (mains voltage and frequency) with that of the mains electricity supply. This data must match exactly. ▶ Store the robot vacuum cleaner at an ambient temperature between 0 °C and 60 °C. While the robot vacuum cleaner is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated. ▶ Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorised service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons can cause considerable danger to users. ▶ Ensure that you do not damage the power supply cable and avoid mechanical stress. Do not place heavy objects on the power supply cable. The robot vacuum cleaner is fitted with sensors to detect steps and drops in height. Do not cover these sensors or the camera, and ensure that the function of the sensors is not hindered by obstacles whilst the cleaner is moving. ▶ Do not let the robot vacuum cleaner travel over the mains cable or other cables.

Do not drop the robot vacuum cleaner or any of the accessories supplied with it. Items that have been dropped or damaged should not be used for safety reasons.

▶ AUS/NZ: The robot vacuum cleaner must only be supplied at safety extra low voltage corresponding to the marking on the appliance.

▶ Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced with genuine Miele replacement parts.

Cleaning

Do not immerse the robot vacuum cleaner or the parts supplied in water. Clean all parts with a dry or slightly damp cloth only.

Correct use

▶ Do not use the robot vacuum cleaner without the dust box, pre-filter and exhaust filter fitted.

Remove all breakable or lightweight items from the floor and make sure that the robot vacuum cleaner cannot become entangled in cords, curtains, fringes, cables or similar.

▶ Animals must be kept away from the robot vacuum cleaner. Do not allow animals to stand or sit on the robot vacuum cleaner.

▶ Take appropriate measures to prevent the robot vacuum cleaner falling down large drops, e.g. from galleries or balconies. This can be done, for instance, by setting up physical barriers.

Disposing of sales packaging

The packaging material protects the robot vacuum cleaner from transport damage. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can therefore be recycled.

Recycling the packaging material 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 your old appliance

Before disposing of your robot vacuum cleaner, remove the exhaust filter and the pre-filter and dispose of them with your household waste.

Electrical and electronic appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with household waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with household waste.

Symbol of a trash bin with crossed lines indicating no waste or discharge, and a solid black rectangle below (no text or labels)

Instead, please make use of officially designated collection and disposal points to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances in your local community, with your dealer or with Miele. By law (depending on country), you are solely responsible for deleting any personal data from the old appliance prior to disposal.

Ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Disposing of old batteries

In many cases, electrical and electronic appliances contain batteries which must not be disposed of with household waste after use. You are legally obliged (depending on country) to remove any old batteries which are not securely enclosed by the vacuum cleaner and to take them to a suitable collection point (e.g. retailer) where they can be handed in free of charge. Insulate the metal contacts with adhesive tape to prevent short circuits. Batteries may contain substances which can be hazardous to human health and the environment.

The labelling on the battery will provide further information. The bin symbol with a cross through it means that the batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. A bin with a cross through it which also has one or more chemical symbols on it indicates that the battery contains lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and/or mercury (Hg).

MIELE Scout RX3 - Disposing of old batteries - 1

Old batteries contain valuable raw materials which can be recycled. Disposing of batteries separately makes them easier to handle and recycle.
