The casing of the vacuum cleaner is heated up by the motor.
Due to its high output, the motor generates a lot of heat, which is transferred to the casing. This is normal and does not affect the vacuum cleaner in any way.
This is not a fault.

Casing is getting very hot
The casing of the vacuum cleaner is getting very hot.
The airways are blocked.
The casing of the vacuum cleaner can heat up if the airways are blocked by bulky objects.
Switch the vacuum cleaner off using the On/Off footswitch.
Remove the electrical plug from the socket.
Disassemble the floorhead, hose, handle, and telescopic wand.
You can carefully push coarse particles which are jammed in the hose or in the telescopic wand toward the floorhead using a long object (e.g., a broom handle).
Items causing a blockage are usually easy to shake out of the handle.
After removing the cause of the fault, wait for approximately 30 minutes to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down. It can then be turned on again.
The FilterBag or dust container is full and/or the filters are clogged.
The casing of the vacuum cleaner can heat up if a full FilterBag/dust container and clogged filters impede the optimum discharge of air from the vacuum cleaner.
Switch the vacuum cleaner off using the On/Off footswitch.
Remove the electrical plug from the socket.

After removing the cause of the fault, wait for approximately 30 minutes to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down. It can then be turned on again.
The cable is still retracted in the vacuum cleaner.
If the vacuum cleaner is used for a long period of time, the power cord in the vacuum cleaner heats up. The heat is transferred to the casing.
A temperature limiter switches the vacuum cleaner off automatically if it gets too hot.
Risk of damage due to overheating.
The power cord may overheat after a long period of use.
If vacuuming for longer than 30 minutes, the power cord must be pulled out all the way.
If the fault persists, please contact Miele Service or book a repair appointment online.
