1. SEB 216 for cylinder vacuum

2. SEB 217 for hand-held vacuum

cleaners and cylinder vacuum cleaners The illustrations referred to in the text are shown at the end of the operating instructions. Using the Electrobrush The Electrobrush is particularly suitable for intensive vacuuming of carpets which are subject to hard wear. It is very effective at removing deep seated dirt and preventing areas of frequent use being trodden into a path. The standard floorhead or one of the Miele floorbrushes should be used for cleaning hard floors, such as tiled or parquet floors. A separate motor drives the Electro

brush roller brush and four rollers maintain the brush 1.5 mm away from the floor. It is also important to observe the flooring manufacturer’s cleaning and care instructions. The following should not be vacuumed using the Electrobrush

Floor surfaces with a variable or uneven profile. The brush might come into contact with the floor and cause damage.

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. If in doubt, contact the carpet manufacturer/retailer. Operating the Electrobrush

To achieve the best effect, pass the Electrobrush slowly backwards and forwards over the carpet or floor covering. For carpets with fringes, always draw the Electrobrush from the carpet across the fringe towards the rest of the floor. Connecting the Electrobrush to the vacuum cleaner Connect the Electrobrush to the vacuum cleaner as shown in the illustrations at the end of the operating instructions. Cylinder vacuum cleaner - see illustrations a to d Hand-held vacuum cleaner - see illustration e The position of the socket for connecting the Electrobrush will depend on the vacuum cleaner model. For S 5000 and S 8000 vacuum cleaners the protective cap must be removed from the socket: see illustration a and c.

11For SEB 216-3 (see illustration a and c) This Electrobrush is easily removed enabling one of the other accessories to be used.

Press the release button and pull the suction tube with plug connector out of the Electrobrush. The cable will remain on the suction tube. Cable When the Electrobrush is connected to a cylinder vacuum cleaner, the cable must be secured to the telescopic tube and to the suction hose. Nine clips are supplied for this: – two for securing the cable to the telescopic tube (already in position) – seven for running the cable along the suction hose (these can be adjusted) ^ Fit the clips to the suction hose leaving approximately the same distance between each clip. Switching on and off The Electrobrush is operated in conjunction with the vacuum cleaner. Some models, however, are fitted with a switch which allows the Electrobrush to be switched on and off separately. Blocked roller warning light The indicator light on the Electrobrush has two functions. The light is

yellow when the Electrobrush is switched on.

red if the roller brush is blocked, for example, when a large object has been vacuumed up.

Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electricity supply immediately the red light comes on. Switch off at the wall socket and remove the plug. ^ Remove the cause of the obstruction, see "Cleaning and care". Then wait for about two minutes, before switching the cleaner back on again. This allows the blocked roller warning indicator to re-set itself.

12Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electrical supply for maintenance work and cleaning. Switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug. Removing threads and hairs (illustrations f, g and h)

Cut any threads or hairs that have become entangled on the roller brush with a pair of scissors. Then run the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up the bits. For more obstinate tangles or blockages inside the Electrobrush, the cover can be opened. ^ Loosen the two locking screws on the underside of the brush with a small coin, and take off the roller cover. The roller brush can now be taken out of its supports and cleaned. The compartment interior can also be cleaned. When re-fitting the roller brush please note the following (see illustration i) There are notches on the supports. With a new roller brush: Fit the supports so that the single notch points towards the roller cover, (see left hand illustration). The bristles protrude approx. 2 mm. This is important for the brushing effect. If the bristles are slightly worn out:

Fit the supports so that two notches point towards the roller cover, (see right hand illustration).

Put the roller cover back on and close it, (see illustration j).

Tighten the locking screws. If the bristles are totally worn out, a replacement roller brush can be purchased through your Miele Dealer or the Spare Parts Dept. Replacing the drive belt (illustrations k and l) The casing must be opened to fit a new drive belt. ^ Remove roller cover a (as already described) and lift roller brush b off its supports. ^ Unscrew fixing screws c from the brush base section d, and separate the base section from top section e.

Fit a new drive belt.

Reassemble the Electrobrush by reversing the procedure. Replacing the connection cable If the connection cable for this appliance is damaged it must be replaced by a connection cable specifically designed for this appliance. Please contact your Miele dealer, or the Miele Spare Parts Dept. en - Cleaning and care 13Deze elektrische borstel voldoet aan de geldende veiligheids
