Illustrations The illustrations referred to in the text are shown at the end of these operat- ing instructions. Using the Electrobrush The roller brush in the Electrobrush is motor driven. The Electrobrush removes deep seated dirt and prevents areas of frequent use being trodden into a path. Four rollers keep the Electrobrush 1.5 mm above floor level. Use Recommended use Do not use the Electrobrush to clean highly variable or uneven floors. The base plate on the Electro- brush might come into contact with the floor and cause damage. The Electrobrush should not be used for vacuuming deep-pile rugs and carpets or valuable hand-knot- ted rugs and carpets, e.g. Persian and oriental rugs etc. There is a danger of the threads being pulled out. The Electrobrush is particularly suitable for intensive vacuuming of carpets which are subject to hard wear. 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. How to use the Electrobrush To achieve the best results, pass the Electrobrush slowly backwards and forwards over the carpet or floor. For rugs and carpets with fringes al- ways draw the Electrobrush from the middle of the rug or carpet across the fringe towards the floor. Connecting the SEB 216 to your cyl- inder vacuum cleaner (dia. 01 + 02) The position of the socket on your va- cuum cleaner will vary depending on model. Connect the Electrobrush to the va- cuum cleaner as illustrated. Connecting the SEB 217 to your cyl- inder or mini upright vacuum cleaner(dia. 03, 04 + 05) The position of the socket on your va- cuum cleaner will vary depending on model. Connect the Electrobrush to the va- cuum cleaner as illustrated. Switching on and off The Electrobrush switches on with the vacuum cleaner. Some vacuum cleaners have a switch for switching the Electrobrush on an off independently.en

Indicator light The indicator light on the Electrobrush has dual functionality. It will light up: – yellow, when the roller brush is rotat- ing – red, if the roller brush is blocked (roller brush safety mechanism), e.g. because a large object has been va- cuumed. Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical supply immediately. Switch off at the wall socket and un- plug it. Remove the blockage. See "Mainten- ance". Wait approx. two minutes before switching the vacuum cleaner on again. This will enable the roller brush safety mechanism to reset itself. Maintenance Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power supply for maintenance work and for cleaning. Switch off at the wall socket and un- plug it. Removing threads and hairs (dia. 06, 07 + 08) Cut any threads or hairs that have wound themselves around the roller brush with a pair of scissors . Then run the vacuum cleaner to va- cuum up the bits. The roller brush cover can be opened to remove stubborn soiling or blockages from inside the Electrobrush. Loosen both locking screws under- neath the Electrobrush with a coin and then remove the roller cover. The roller brush can then be taken out of its holder and cleaned. Clean the area around the roller brush at the same time. Please observe illustration (dia. 09) when refitting the roller brush. The roller bearing has marks on it in the form of notches. With a new roller brush the end of the roller bearing with the one notch must face the base plate (see left hand illus- tration). This enables the bristles to stick out by 2 mm which is important for good brushing. When the bristles start to show signs of wear after prolonged use: Refit the roller bearing so that the end with two notches points towards the base plate (see right hand illustration). Refit the cover over the roller brush and secure it (dia. 10). Tighten the locking screws. If the bristles on the roller brush are worn down any more the roller brush must be replaced with a new one. Replacing a drive belt(dia. 11) Loosen both locking screws under- neath the Electrobrush with a coin and then remove the roller cover(dia. 07).en

Remove the roller brush(dia. 08). Unscrew screws a underneath the Electrobrush and then separate the lower section b from the top sec- tionc(dia. 11). Replace the drive belt. Reassemble the Electrobrush in the reverse order. Replacing the mains cable If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a cable spe- cifically made for this Electrobrush. This cable can be purchased from your Miele supplier or from Miele dir- ectly.fr - Consignes de sécurité et mises en garde
