Warning and Safety instructions
Stop using the AP01 battery immediately if you notice an unusual smell from it, if liquid is leaking from it, if it is significantly overheating or if it is discoloured or deformed. Dispose of the AP01 battery immediately (see safety notice "Disposing of the AP01 battery" at the end of this chapter as well as "Caring for the environment" "Disposing of old batteries"). Batteries will deplete over time. They can then leak corrosive fluids. Avoid contact with the eyes and skin. In the event of contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice. To deal with leaking batteries, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (contact Miele to request a copy).
Correct use
Do not drop or throw the AP01 battery. For safety reasons, do not continue to use an AP01 battery which has been damaged. Keep the AP01 battery away from naked flames or other heat sources. Do not heat the AP01 battery. Do not expose the rechargeable battery to direct sunlight. Do not dismantle the AP01 battery. Do not cause a short circuit by bridging the contacts of the AP01 battery, either unintentionally or deliberately. Do not allow the AP01 battery to come into contact with liquids. Disposing of the AP01 battery: remove the AP01 battery from the vacuum cleaner. Insulate the metal contacts with adhesive tape to prevent short circuits. Dispose of the AP01 battery in a municipal recycling facility. Do not dispose of the AP01 battery with your household waste. The rechargeable battery must be removed before the appliance is scrapped.
10
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appliance
Before disposing of your old vacuum cleaner, remove the fine dust filter and dispose of it with your household waste. Electronic and electrical appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to your health and to the environment if disposed of with general waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old vacuum cleaner with your household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially designated collection and disposal points to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances in your local community, with your dealer or
with Miele. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
Disposing of old batteries
In many cases, electrical and electronic appliances contain batteries which must not be disposed of with household waste after use. You are legally obliged (depending on country) to remove any old batteries which are not securely enclosed by the vacuum cleaner and to take them to a suitable collection point (e.g. retailer) where they can be handed in free of charge. Insulate the metal contacts with adhesive tape to prevent short circuits. Batteries may contain substances which can be hazardous to human health and the environment. The labelling on the battery will provide further information. The bin symbol with a cross through it means that the batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. A bin with a cross through it which also has one or more chemical symbols on it indicates that the battery contains lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and/or mercury (Hg).
3E&G+J
Old batteries contain valuable raw materials which can be recycled. Disposing of batteries separately makes them easier to handle and recycle.

General battery information The rechargeable battery is supplied not fully charged. Charge the battery completely before using it for the first time. Allow approximately 4 hours for this.
It is essential to charge the battery for the first time in the PowerUnit in order to activate maximum power in the battery. Once the battery is fully charged, the battery charging state indicator switches off after 10 minutes to conserve energy. You can use the vacuum cleaner for up to 14 minutes if you are using it in its fully assembled state at the maximum power level. If, however, you are using the PowerUnit on its own and select the lowest power level, you can vacuum for up to 60 minutes.
Keep batteries out of the reach
of children. A swallowed battery can cause injury and even death. Even flat batteries can still be dangerous. If you suspect a child has swallowed a battery, seek medical advice immediately*. Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if compartment is not secure. * Australia: Poisons Information Centre, Tel. 13 11 26; NZ: National Poisons Centre, Tel. 0800 764 766
