• Ensure that the connection data on the data plate of the vacuum cleaner (voltage and frequency) match the household power supply. Without modifications, the vacuum cleaner is suited for 50Hz or 60Hz.

• The electrical outlet must be fitted with a 15 A fuse.

• Reliable and safe operation of this vacuum cleaner can only be assured if it has been connected to the electricity supply.

• The socket on the vacuum cleaner must only be used for the Miele Electro brushes listed in these operating instructions.

• The Miele Powerbrush is a motor driven accessory for use only with Miele vacuum cleaners. For safety reasons, the vacuum cleaner must not be used with an Powerbrush produced by another manufacturer.

• Repairs must only be performed by an authorized service agent in accordance with national and local safety regulations. Unauthorized repairs could cause injury or machine damage. Otherwise the warranty will be void.

• Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the power cord, and be careful not to damage the cord when withdrawing the plug from the socket. Keep the cord away from sharp edges and do not let it get pinched, for example,
  under a door. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner over the cord. This could damage the cord, plug or socket. The appliance must not be used if any of these have suffered damage.

• Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the power cord is damaged. If the power cord is damaged it must be replaced together with the cord reel. For safety reasons this must only be done by Miele Technical Service or a Miele authorized service technician.

• When vacuuming, in particular fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster, flour, talcum powder 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.

• Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele-authorized service technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons can cause considerable danger to users.

• Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.

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.

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 you are vacuuming a large amount of dust at once, the ComfortClean selfcleaning 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 (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 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 (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 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.

• 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 “Frequently asked questions – 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.
• Install new thread lifters.

Cleaning the roller on the All TeQ 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.
