Miele S 658 - Manual (Page 6)

Do not use to pick up flammable or
combustible liquids, such as
gasoline, or use in areas where they
may be present.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to
pick up liquids, as this could impair
the electrical safety of the vacuum
cleaner. This applies to freshly
shampooed carpets. Wait until they dry.
Do not pick up anything that is
burning or smoking, such as
cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
Do not vacuum up items which are
heavy, hard or have sharp edges.
They could cause a blockage and
damage the appliance.
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,
such as that used in printers and
photocopiers can conduct electricity.
Always turn off the vacuum before
connecting or disconnecting the
Electrobrush, Turbobrush or
accessories.
Do not use without dustbag and/or
filters in place.
Do not turn on or attempt to operate the
vacuum cleaner unless a dustbag, dust
compartment filter and exhaust filter are
in place. Use only genuine Miele
double-layer dustbags and filters (see
"Maintenance" for instructions on how to
insert the dustbag and filters.) If a
dustbag has not been inserted, the
dust compartment cover will not close.
Do not use force!
To aid the vacuum in dissipating
heat during extended operation
(longer than 1 hour), the Auto-Reverse
feature should be turned off and the
power cord should be unwound from
the cable reel at least two thirds of the
way.
A temperature limiter automatically
switches off the vacuum cleaner if
it gets too hot, see "Problem solving
guide".
On the underside of the vacuum
hand piece is a metal insert
designed to absorb electrostatic
charge. Please make certain that your
hand remains around this metal insert.
