Miele S 4000 Series - Manual (Page 7)

Technical safety
Ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and
frequency) match the mains electricity
supply. It is essential that they match to
avoid damage to the appliance.
The plug must be fitted with a 13 A
fuse (UK).
Before using the vacuum cleaner,
check for any signs of damage. Do
not use a damaged appliance: it could
be dangerous.
There is a metal inlay underneath
the handle which is designed to
avoid the unpleasant effects of
electrostatic discharges. Please make
sure that you keep your hand in
constant contact with this metal strip
during vacuuming.
Do not pull or carry the vacuum
cleaner 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 and pose a safety hazard. The
appliance must not be used if any of
these have suffered damage.
If the cable is damaged it must be
replaced together with a complete
cable rewind. For safety reasons this
must only be done by the Miele Service
Department or a Miele authorised ser-
vice technician.
While the vacuum cleaner is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by Miele. Otherwise the
guarantee will be invalidated.
Repairs should only be carried out
by a Miele authorised service
technician. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for unauthorised work.
It is important to switch the vacuum
cleaner off before changing over
accessories and floorheads, especially
an Electro- or Turbobrush.
Do not let the vacuum cleaner get
wet. Clean only with a dry cloth or
slightly damp cloth when disconnected
from the mains supply. If moisture gets
into the appliance, there is a risk of
electric shock.
