Miele HS16 Canister Vacuum Cleaner

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE

This vacuum cleaner complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the vacuum cleaner, please read the operating instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, operation and maintenance. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.
Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power supply when you have finished using it, before changing any accessories, as well as for maintenance work and cleaning. Turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug it.

Correct use

• This vacuum cleaner is intended for cleaning flooring in domestic households and similar residential environments.
• This vacuum cleaner can be used for all normal cleaning of carpets, rugs and hard flooring.
• This vacuum cleaner is not intended for outdoor use.
• The vacuum cleaner must only be used to vacuum dry floor surfaces. Do not use on people and animals. Any other usage, modification or alteration is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
• Persons which lack physical, sensory or mental abilities or experience with the machine should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.

Safety with children

• Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.

• Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children. WARNING
  To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

• Check the voltage rating of the vacuum cleaner before connecting the power cord to an electrical outlet. Your power source should correspond with the voltage rating plate located on the underside of the vacuum. Use only household AC outlets. Never use DC power sources. If you are not sure of your home’s voltage supply, consult a qualified electrician. Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a higher voltage than indicated in these instructions may result in damage to the vacuum cleaner or injury.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.

Technical safety

• Before using the vacuum cleaner and its accessories, check for any visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
• 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 Electrobrushes 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.
• 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.

Proper use

• 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.

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 Electro brush 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)

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 .
• 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 Comfort Clean 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 (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 Electro brush 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 floor head downwards into one of the parking attachments on either side of the vacuum cleaner (the parking attachments cannot be used with Electro brushes 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.

****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 outa cleaning process. You will hear this process running. The Comfort Clean button on the vacuum cleaner lights up yellow.

Starting the Comfort Clean self-cleaning function manually

(Fig. 26)

If you are vacuuming a large amount of dust at once, the Comfort Clean 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 Comfort Clean 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 Comfort Clean 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 floor head included as standard) The thread catchers on the suction inlet of the reversible floor head 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 floor head

(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.
4. Remove any threads and hair, replace the roller and refit the bearing, locking it back into position.
