Miele HS18 Operating Instructions Manual page 43

Animals must be kept away from the robot vacuum cleaner. Do

not allow animals to stand or sit on the robot vacuum cleaner.
Take appropriate measures to prevent the robot vacuum cleaner

falling down large drops, e.g. from galleries or balconies. This can be
done, for instance, by setting up physical barriers.
Do not use the robot vacuum cleaner to vacuum up anything

which has been burning or is still glowing e.g. cigarettes, ashes or
coal, whether glowing or apparently extinguished. Do not use the ro-
bot vacuum cleaner in the vicinity of a fireplace.
Do not use the robot vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any water, li-

quid or damp dirt. Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed car-
pets or floor coverings are completely dry before attempting to va-
cuum.
Do not use the robot vacuum cleaner to vacuum toner dust. Toner,

such as that used in printers and photocopiers, can conduct electri-
city.
Do not use the robot vacuum cleaner to vacuum up any inflam-

mable or combustible liquids or gases and do not use it in areas
where such substances are stored.
Exercise constant care, and do not sit or lie on the surface being

cleaned whilst the vacuum cleaner is running. This is to prevent the
risk of loosely fitting clothes or long hair coming into contact with the
roller brush or other moving parts of the robot vacuum cleaner.
Handling the rechargeable battery and remote control batteries
Please contact Miele Customer Service Department before send-

ing the rechargeable battery.
Do not drop or throw the rechargeable battery. For safety reasons,

do not continue to use a rechargeable battery which has been
dropped or damaged.
