The Powerbrush is recommended for cleaning and restoring crushed carpet pile on most types of carpets. For cleaning non-carpeted floors, the use of the SBD 265, SBD 285, SBD 350, SBD 450 or SBD 550 Combination Floor Tool or the SBB 235 Smooth Floor Brush is recommended. When vacuuming rug fringes, place the Powerbrush on the rug and pull it over the fringe onto the floor. Never push the Powerbrush over fringes, as they may become entangled in the brush roller. For suggestions and recommendations on which type of Powerbrush or floor tool will work best for your application, please contact your Miele Vacuum Dealer.

Turning on the Powerbrush

SEB 217 with an upright vacuum cleaner The Powerbrush will start automatically when the vacuum cleaner is turned on. SEB 213 and SEB 217 The powerbrush can only be turned on if the vacuum cleaner is also on. The switch that controls the power brush can be found on the hose handle.

Using the Powerbrush

^ To achieve the best results, slowly pass the Powerbrush back and forth over the carpet.

Indicator light The electrobrush warning light has a double function. It lights – orange, when the brush is in use – yellow, if the brush roller is blocked. This can occur if enough threads wrap around it or if a large or long object has been vacuumed up. ^ Turn off the vacuum cleaner and unplug the power cord. ^ Remove the object preventing the roller from turning (see the "Maintenance and Care" section). ^ Wait approximately 2-3 minutes for this safety feature to reset before turning the vacuum cleaner back on.

Maintenance and Care

Always make sure the vacuum cleaner is unplugged and the Powerbrush is disconnected from the vacuum before attempting to clean or service the Powerbrush. To remove threads or hair wrapped around the roller: ^ Cut the threads or hair using a pair of scissors. The pieces will be drawn into the Powerbrush by the suction power of the vacuum the next time it is used. Stubborn tangles or other objects can be removed as follows: ^ Loosen the two lock screws on the bottom of the Powerbrush using a coin or screwdriver and remove the roller cover.

^ Pull up the roller brush until it releases from the main housing, and slide the drive belt over the end of the brush. The roller brush and roller brush compartment can now be cleaned.

Maintenance and Care

Re-installing the roller brush Please note that there are a series of notches on the roller supports located at each end of the roller brush (see illustration). A new roller brush or a brush with slightly worn bristles should be installed with the single notch facing up (left illustration). If the roller brush is old and/or the bristles are worn: ^ Install the supports so that the two notches are facing up (right illustration). The correct orientation of the supports allows the proper length of bristle to protrude from the roller cover. The brush can continue to be used in the "two notch" position until the bristles wear down to the point where they no longer clean. At that time, the roller brush must be replaced.

^ Replace the roller cover and tighten the lock screws.

Maintenance and Care

Replacing the roller brush drive belt The Powerbrush housing must be opened in order to replace the drive belt. ^ Remove the roller cover a by loosening the two lock screws on the bottom of the Powerbrush using a coin or screwdriver. Remove the roller cover. ^ Pull up the roller brush b until it releases from the main housing, and slide the drive belt over the end of the brush. Set the roller brush aside. ^ Remove the 4 screws c in the lower housing of the Powerbrush d, then separate the lower housing from the upper housing e. ^ Install a new drive belt by slipping it over the gear on the motor shaft and the toothed side of the roller brush. ^ Reassemble the Powerbrush by reversing the procedure.
