Using the Electrobrush

The standard floorhead or one of the

Miele floorbrushes should be used for cleaning hard floors. It is also important to observe the flooring manufacturer's cleaning and care instructions.

The Electrobrush is driven by its own motor.

It is very effective at removing deep seated dirt and preventing areas of frequent use being trodden into a path.

How to use the Electrobrush

Two of the four rollers are height-adjustable, allowing you to adjust the gap between the Electrobrush and the floor.

For rugs and carpets with fringes always draw the Electrobrush from the middle of the rug or carpet across the fringe towards the floor.

 Release button  Connection socket  Foot switch for releasing the connection socket

 To achieve the best results, pass the

Electrobrush slowly backwards and forwards over the carpet or floor.

Connecting the Electrobrush to your cylinder vacuum cleaner (dia. 2 + 3)

The position of the socket on your vacuum cleaner will vary depending on model.

 Connect the Electrobrush to your vacuum cleaner as illustrated.

 Foot switch for adjusting the height

Adjusting the height (dia. 4)

The Electrobrush has five settings for adjusting the distance between the

Electrobrush and the floor. The display shows the setting selected.

 Please note that the Electrobrush

Setting 1 - closest to the floor

should not be used for vacuuming deep-pile rugs and carpets or valuable hand-knotted rugs and carpets, e.g. Persian and oriental rugs etc.

There is a danger of the threads being pulled out.

Setting 5 - furthest away from the floor

The Electrobrush is particularly suitable for intensive vacuuming of carpets which are subject to hard wear.

 Press the foot switch repeatedly until the required setting is reached.

Releasing the connection socket  Press the foot switch for releasing the connection socket (see “Guide to the appliance”) and release it.

Removing threads and hairs (dia. 5)

The electro hoses (SES) have an on/off switch on the handle which can be used to switch the Electrobrush on and off independently.

This means that you can switch the Electrobrush off during vacuuming and the vacuum cleaner will continue to operate using suction only. This is useful when moving from vacuuming a fitted carpet to a rug, for example.

 Use scissors to cut any threads or hairs which have wound around the roller brush. There is a groove on the roller to guide you.

Then run the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up the bits.

The Electrobrush switches itself off. The overheating protection mechanism has been activated due to overheating or a blockage.  Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical supply immediately. Switch off at the wall socket and unplug it.  Check the vacuum cleaner for any blockages and check all the filters in the vacuum cleaner. The Electrobrush has to cool down. To speed this up:  Reconnect the vacuum cleaner to the mains supply and switch it back on. The Electrobrush will be ready for use again after about ten minutes.

 Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power supply for maintenance work and for cleaning. Switch off at the wall socket and unplug it.
