Please note: Floor tools are subject to a certain amount of wear, depending on the type of hard floor you have (e.g. rough, rustic tiles). Therefore, you must check the underside of the floor tool at regular intervals. Worn undersides of floor tools may have sharp edges that can damage sensitive hard floors, such as parquet or linoleum. The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage caused by worn floor tools.

depending on model38 Figure Set the adjustable floor tool: Rugs and carpets => Hard floors => If you are vacuuming up relatively large particles, make sure that you vacuum them up successively and carefully to ensure that the vacuum channel of the floor tool does not become blocked.
