What to do if the vacuum cleaner stops suddenly?

A temperature limiter triggers shutdown in case of overheating (e.g., clogged hose). Turn off, unplug, eliminate the cause, then wait 20 to 30 minutes before restarting.

The ComfortClean button lights up yellow, what should I do?

The vacuum cleaner automatically performs a cleaning cycle of the fine dust filter. Wait about 20 seconds until the cycle ends.

The ComfortClean button lights up red and the vacuum cleaner switches to the lowest level, why?

This indicates that the container is full or the pre-filter or fine dust filter is dirty. Empty the container and clean the pre-filter or filter.

Remove the dust container, take out the pre-filter, clean it under cold water without detergent, dry it well, then put it back in place.

How to manually clean the fine dust filter?

Remove the fine dust container, rinse the outside of the filter under cold water (never the inside), without detergent. Let it dry for at least 24 hours before reinstalling.

en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning

Do not let the vacuum cleaner, the Electrobrush, the telescopic wand and the suction hose get wet.
The Electrobrush, telescopic wand and suction hose contain electrical wires. The plug connectors must not come into contact with water - damp cleaning of these items is therefore not permitted.
Clean only with a dry cloth or slightly damp cloth when disconnected from the power supply. Exception:

• Dust container / fine dust container: only clean these parts with water and a small amount of liquid dish soap, then dry carefully.
• Fine dust filter: do not clean the inside of the fine dust filter. Rinse the outside under running cold water. Do not use soap. Do not use any sharp or pointed objects and do not brush the fine dust filter. After cleaning, leave the fine dust filter to dry for a minimum of 24 hours before placing it back in the fine dust container.
• Pre-filter / filter frame: clean these parts under running cold water. Do not use soap. Do not use any sharp or pointed objects. Dry these parts carefully after cleaning.

Proper use

• Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the dust container, pre-filter, fine dust container and fine dust filter fitted.

en - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not vacuum up anything which has been burning or smoking, e.g., cigarettes, ashes or hot ash, whether glowing or apparently extinguished.
- Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water, liquid or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed rugs or carpets are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.
- Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust. Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers, can conduct electricity.
- Do not vacuum up any flammable or combustible liquids or gases and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored.
Do not vacuum at head height and do not let the suction get anywhere near a person's head.

Accessories

To avoid the risk of injury when vacuuming with a Miele Powerbrush 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 accessories with the "ORIGINAL Miele" logo on them. Otherwise the manufacturer cannot guarantee the safety of the product.

Insert the Comfort handle into the telescopic wand until it clicks into position.
Press the release button to separate the individual sections from each other.

Adjusting the telescopic wand (Fig. 04)

One part of the telescopic wand is fitted inside the other so that the tube can be adjusted to suit your preferred height

for comfortable vacuuming, the maximum height, however, is until the end stop.

Press the release button and adjust the telescopic wand to the desired height.

Connecting the telescopic wand to the Electrobrush (Fig. 05)

Insert the telescopic wand into the Electrobrush until it clicks into position.

Using the Electrobrush

Please observe the flooring manufacturer's cleaning and care instructions.

Depending on the model, your vacuum cleaner will be fitted as standard with one of the following Electrobrushes.

• Electrobrush SEB 217

• Electrobrush SEB 228

• Electrobrush SEB 236

The Electrobrush is particularly suitable for the intensive vacuuming of carpets which are subject to hard wear.

Please note that the Electrobrush should not be used to vacuum deep-pile rugs and carpets or valuable hand-knotted rugs and carpets, e.g., Persian and oriental rugs, etc. or long piled rugs and carpets. There is a risk of the threads being pulled out.

Do not use the Electrobrush SEB

217 Electro to clean highly variable or uneven floors. The base plate might come into contact with the floor and cause damage.

For further information on use and maintenance please refer to the separate instructions supplied with the Electrobrush.

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.

Using the reversible floorhead (Fig. 07)

(included as standard depending on model)

Please be sure to observe the flooring manufacturer's cleaning and care instructions.

The floorhead can be used for vacuumcleaning carpets and rugs. It is especially suitable for cleaning hard flooring which is not susceptible to scratching.

The crevice nozzle and the upholstery nozzle are located in holders at the rear of the vacuum cleaner.

Reversible floorhead (Fig. 09)

(included as standard depending on model)

For general use and also for vacuuming the stairs.

For safety reasons when vacuuming stairs, it is best to start at the bottom of the stairs and move upwards.

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.

Floorbrush Parquet Twister XL with swiveling head (SBB 400-3)

(included as standard depending on model)

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 allow plug to whip when rewinding.

Unwind the power cord (Fig. 10)

Pull the power cord out to the required length (max. cord length approx. 21 ft / 6.5 m).

Insert the plug into the electrical socket.

If vacuuming for longer than 30 minutes, the power cord must be pulled out all the way. Otherwise there is a danger of overheating and damage.

Rewinding the power cord (Fig. 11)

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. 12)

Press the On/Off foot control ①.

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 runners
Low pile carpet and rugs
Hard flooring and heavily soiled carpets and rugs (also for cleaning upholstery and mattresses with the upholstery nozzle)

If the suction seems too high when using the Electrobrush/floorhead, reduce the suction until the Electrobrush/ floorhead is easier to maneuver.

Rotary dial (Fig. 13)

Turn the rotary selector to the suction power setting you require.

During vacuuming

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

When vacuuming, in particular fine dust, e.g. dust, sand, plaster, flour, 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 (Fig. 14).

If a large amount of dust is vacuumed at once, the ComfortClean self-cleaning function should be started manually either during a vacuuming pause or

straight away. This enables the vacuum cleaner to achieve the very best cleaning performance again straight away (see "Maintenance - Starting the ComfortClean self-cleaning function manually").

Switching the Powerbrush on and off (Fig. 15)

To use the Electrobrush, it has to be switched on additionally to the vacuum cleaner.

To do this, press the On/Off button on the Comfort handle.

This means that you can switch the Electrobrush off during vacuuming and the vacuum cleaner will continue to operate using suction only, e.g. when moving from vacuuming a fitted carpet to a high quality rug, for example.

Parking, transport and storage

Park system for pauses during vacuuming (Fig. 16)

(cannot be used with the Electrobrush SEB 236)

The park system allows you to conveniently park the suction wand and floorhead during pauses.

Slot the floorhead into the parking attachment on the vacuum cleaner.

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

Park system for storage (Fig. 17)

Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power supply when you have finished using it. Remove the plug from the socket.

Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.

It is a good idea to retract the telescopic suction wand fully.

Slot the floorhead downwards into one of the parking attachments on either side of the vacuum cleaner (the parking attachments cannot be used with Electrobrushes SEB 228 and SEB 236).

This makes the vacuum cleaner easier to carry or store.

For safety reasons, do not lift the vacuum cleaner using the dust container carrying handle.

Maintenance

Always switch off the vacuum cleaner for maintenance work and unplug the power cord from the wall socket.

Emptying the dust container (Figs. 18 - 23)

Empty the dust container before the dust has reached the max marking on the dust container.
Pull the dust container handle upward.
Remove the dust container upward.

The contents of the dust container can be disposed of with the normal household trash, providing it contains general household dust only.

Hold the dust container close to the bin 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 so that it clicks audibly.
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 (Figs. 24 + 25)

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 under cold running water.

Do not use detergent!

Do not use any sharp or pointed objects!

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 vacuum cleaner switches off automatically for approx. 20 seconds and carries out a cleaning process. You will hear this process running.

The ComfortClean button on the vacuum cleaner lights up yellow.

Starting the ComfortClean self-cleaning function manually (Fig. 26)

If a large amount of dust has been vacuumed 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.

• With the vacuum cleaner switched on, press the ComfortClean button for at least two seconds.

The vacuum cleaner is switched off automatically for approx. 20 seconds and a cleaning process is carried out which results in operational noise.

The ComfortClean button on the vacuum 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 "Fault resolution - Cleaning the fine dust filter manually").

When to change the thread catchers?

(only possible for models with a reversible floorhead included as standard)

The thread catchers on the suction inlet of the reversible 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 (Fig. 27)

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

Cleaning the roller on the AllTeQ floorhead (Fig. 28)

depending on model)

Clean the roller on the floorhead if required.

(1) Release the bearing (with bayonet fitting) using a coin.
② Press the bearing out, and remove.
③ Remove the roller.
- Remove any threads and hair, replace the roller and refit the bearing, locking it back into position.

Replacement parts are available from your Miele dealer or through Miele Technical Service.

Cleaning and care

Always switch off the vacuum cleaner before cleaning it and unplug the power chord from the wall socket.

Vacuum cleaner and accessories

The vacuum cleaner and all plastic accessories can be cleaned with a proprietary cleaner suitable for use on plastic.

Follow the special cleaning instructions 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 conditioning agents!

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