References to illustrations The illustrations referred to in the text are shown on the fold-out pages at the end of these Operating Instruc- tions. Preparing for use Attaching the suction hose (Fig. 01) Insert the hose connector into the suction socket on the vacuum cleaner until it clicks into position. Disconnecting the suction hose (Fig. 02) Press the release buttons at the side of the hose connector, and lift the hose from the socket. Connecting the suction hose to the handle (Fig. 03) Insert the suction hose into the han- dle until it clicks into position. Connecting the handle to the wand (Fig. 04) Insert the handle into the wand until it clicks into position. To do this, line up the guides on the two pieces. To release the handle from the wand, press the release button and pull the handle out of the wand, twisting it slightly as you do so. Adjusting the telescopic wand (Fig. 05) One part of the telescopic wand is fitted inside the other so that the wand can be adjusted to suit your preferred height for comfortable vacuuming. Hold the release mechanism and ad- just the telescopic wand to the re- quired length. Connecting the telescopic wand to the floorhead/floorbrush (Fig. 06) (included as standard depending on model) Push the telescopic wand into the suction nozzle and turn it clockwise or counter-clockwise until it clicks into position. To detach these parts from each other, press the release button and pull the telescopic wand out of the suction nozzle, twisting it slightly as you do so. Adjusting the floorhead (Fig. 07 + 08) (only for models with a reversible floor- head included in the standard version) This vacuum cleaner can be used for the everyday cleaning of carpets, rugs and hard flooring. Miele offers a range of other floorheads, brushes and accessories for other types of flooring and special applications (see “Optional accessories”). Please always follow the flooring manufacturer's cleaning and care in- structions. Vacuum carpets and rugs with the brush retracted: Press the foot switch . Clean hard flooring which is not sus- ceptible to scratching, and flooring with gaps or deep crevices in it with the brush protruding:en-US

Press the foot switch . If the suction power of the adjustable floorhead seems too high, reduce the suction until the floorhead is easier to maneuver (see “Use – Regulating the suction power”). Using the accessories supplied (Fig. 09) Crevice nozzle For cleaning folds, crevices or cor- ners. Upholstery nozzle For cleaning upholstery, mat- tresses, cushions, curtains, etc. Dusting brush with natural bris- tles, supplied loose (depending on model) For cleaning base boards and as ornate, carved and particularly delicate objects. The head can be swiveled to the best angle. The crevice nozzle and the upholstery nozzle are located in holders at the back of the vacuum cleaner. The standard versions of certain models include a turbobrush that is not illus- trated. The turbobrush is supplied with its own set of operating instructions. Dusting brush integrated in the Eco Comfort handle (Fig. 10) Some models are equipped with an Eco Comfort handle. The dusting brush is suitable for vacu- uming scratch-resistant surfaces such as keyboards and for vacuuming up crumbs. Press the release button on the dust- ing brush and push the brush out un- til it clearly engages in position. When you have finished dusting press the release button and push the brush back into its original position until it clicks into place. Reversible floorhead (Fig. 11) (included as standard depending on model) For general use and also for vacuuming the stairs. For safety reasons when vacu- uming stairs, it is best to start at the bottom of the stairs and move up- wards. Floorbrush Parquet Twister with swiveling head (SBB 300-3) (included as standard depending on model) This brush is suitable for a variety of hard floor surfaces and has a swivel joint enabling it to get into awkward corners.en-US

Use Power cord Unwind the cord completely to aid the vacuum in dissipating heat. Do not pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the appliance over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not unplug by pulling the cord. To unplug grasp the plug, not the cord. This appliance is equipped with a power cord reel. Hold the plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do not al- low plug to whip when rewinding. Unwinding the cord (Fig. 12) Pull the cord out to the required length. Insert the plug into the outlet. If vacuuming for longer than 30minutes, the cord must be pulled out all the way. Danger of overheat- ing and damage. Rewinding the power cord (Fig. 13) Unplug the power cord from the socket. Step on the cord rewind foot switch. The power cord will then retract itself into the vacuum cleaner. If you do not want the cord to retract completely into the vacuum cleaner you can deactivate this function. To do this, take hold of the end of the cord while rewinding it and give it a short pull when you want the rewinding to end. Turning the vacuum cleaner on and off (Fig. 14) Press the On/Off foot control . Selecting the suction power The suction power can be adjusted to suit the type of flooring being cleaned. Reducing the power lowers the amount of effort required to maneuver the floor brush. The vacuum cleaner has symbols on the controls which indicate the type of use the settings are suitable for. Curtains, lightweight fabric Deep pile carpets, rugs and run- ners Low pile carpet and rugs Hard flooring and heavily soiled carpets and rugs (also for clean- ing upholstery and mattresses with the upholstery nozzle) Rotary dial (Fig. 15) Turn the rotary selector to the suction power setting you require. Opening the air inlet valve (Fig. 16) (not on models with the Eco Comfort handle)en-US

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 maneu- ver. During vacuuming When vacuuming, pull the vacuum cleaner behind you on its wheels. You can stand it upright for vacuuming stairs and curtains, etc. If you are vacuuming a large amount of dust at once, the ComfortClean self- cleaning function should be started manually either during a vacuuming pause or immediately afterward. This enables the vacuum cleaner to achieve the very best cleaning performance right away (see "Maintenance - Starting the ComfortClean self-cleaning function manually"). Parking, transport and storage Park system for pauses during vacu-uming (Fig. 17) The park system allows you to conve- niently park the suction wand and floor- head during pauses. Slot the floorhead into the parking at- tachment on the vacuum cleaner. If your vacuum cleaner is on a slop- ing surface, e.g., a ramp, retract the telescopic suction wand fully. Park system for storage (Fig. 18

Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power supply when you have finished using it. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. Stand the vacuum cleaner upright. Retract the telescopic suction wand fully. Slot the floorhead down into the parking attachment on the vacuum cleaner. This makes the vacuum cleaner easier to carry or store. For safety reasons, do not lift the vacuum cleaner using the dust con- tainer carrying handle.en-US

Maintenance Always switch off the vacuum cleaner for maintenance work and unplug the power cord from the wall socket. Emptying the dust container(Fig. 19 - 24) Empty the dust container before the dust has reached the max marking on the dust container. Pull the dust container handle up- ward. Remove the dust container upward. The contents of the dust compartment can be disposed of with the normal household trash, providing it contains general household dust only. Hold the dust container close to the trash can so that as little dust billows out as possible. Press the yellow release button on the bottom of the dust container. The flap will open and the dust will fall out. Close the flap firmly. It should click into place. Insert the dust container down into the vacuum cleaner so that it audibly clicks into place. Push the handle down. Cleaning the dust container Clean the dust container as required. Clean the dust container using water and liquid dish soap. Dry the dust container carefully. Cleaning the filter frame(Fig. 25 + 26

A removable filter frame is located in the dust container. This should be cleaned if it is obviously dirty. Place the emptied and open dust container on its front. Release the filter frame and remove it. Empty the filter frame and rinse it un- der cold running water. Do not use detergent! Do not use any sharp or pointed ob- jects! Dry the filter frame carefully! Place the dry filter frame in the dust container so that it audibly clicks into place. Cleaning the fine dust filter The fine dust filter is equipped with a self-cleaning function. When a specified degree of soiling is reached, the vac- uum cleaner switches off automatically for approx. 20seconds and carries out a cleaning process. You will hear this process running. The ComfortClean button on the vac- uum cleaner lights up yellow. Starting the ComfortClean self-clean- ing function manually(Fig. 27

If you are vacuuming a large amount of dust at once, the ComfortClean self- cleaning function should be started manually either during a vacuuming pause or immediately afterward. This enables the vacuum cleaner to achieve the very best cleaning performance again right away.en-US

With the vacuum cleaner switched on, press the ComfortClean button for at least two seconds. The vacuum cleaner is switched off au- tomatically for approx. 20 seconds and a cleaning process is carried out which results in operational noise. The ComfortClean button on the vac- uum cleaner lights up yellow. The vacuum cleaner will then switch back on automatically and will operate with the previously selected setting. We also recommend emptying and cleaning the fine dust container once or twice a year (see “Frequently asked questions – Cleaning the fine dust filter manually”). When to change the thread catchers? (only possible for models with a re- versible floorhead included as standard) The thread catchers on the suction inlet of the reversible floorhead can be re- placed. Check them from time to time and replace them if the pile has worn down. How to replace the thread lifters (Fig.

+ 29) Use a suitable screwdriver to remove the thread lifters from the slots. Install new thread lifters. Replacement parts are available from your Miele dealer or through Miele Service. Cleaning and care Always switch off the vacuum cleaner before cleaning it and unplug the power cord from the outlet. Vacuum cleaner and accessories The vacuum cleaner and all plastic ac- cessories can be cleaned with a com- mercially available cleaner suitable for plastic. Follow the special cleaning instruc- tions for the dust container and filter frame in “Maintenance” and for the fine dust filter, the pre-filter, and the fine dust container in “Frequently asked questions”. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, glass cleaning agents, all- purpose cleaners, or oil-based con- ditioning agents. Do not let the vacuum cleaner get wet. If moisture gets into the vac- uum cleaner, there is a risk of electric shock.en-US
