Miele S 500 - S 548 - Manual (Page 22)

Power cord
If the vacuum cleaner is operated for
more than 30 minutes, the power
cord must be unwound at least
2 /
3
of
its maximum length.
Unwinding
^ Hold the plug and pull out the power
cord to the required length:
S 500 - S 548 series: maximum cord
length is 24’ 7" (7.5 m)
S 600 - S 648 series: maximum cord
length is 31’ 2" (9.5 m)
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
the vacuum has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will only fit in a polarized
outlet one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified technician who can install
a proper outlet. Do not alter the plug
in any way. Danger of overheating
and damage.
Rewinding
^ Unplug the vacuum from the outlet.
^ Press the rewind button. The power
cord will rewind automatically.
Auto-reverse
(select models)
To use this feature, move the slide
switch to "Auto-Reverse". This releases
the cable reel brake and allows the
spring loaded reel to take up the slack
between the appliance and the outlet.
