Features of the Electrobrush
The roller brush in the Electrobrush is
motor-driven.
The Electrobrush removes deep-seated
dirt and prevents areas of frequent use
from becoming a path. Four rollers keep
the Electrobrush 1/16" (1.5 mm) above
floor level.
Use
Recommended use

Do not use the Electrobrush to
clean highly variable or uneven
floors. The base plate might come
into contact with the floor and cause
damage.

Please note that the Electrobrush
should not be used to vacuum deep-
pile rugs and carpets or valuable
hand-knotted rugs and carpets, e.g.,
Persian and oriental rugs, etc. or long
piled rugs and carpets. There is a
risk of the threads being pulled out.
The Electrobrush is particularly suitable
for the 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 back and forth
over the carpet or floor.
For rugs with fringes always draw the
Electrobrush from the middle of the rug
across the fringe towards the floor.
Connecting the Electrobrush to your
vacuum cleaner (Fig. 01 - 05)
 Connect the Electrobrush to the vac-
uum cleaner as illustrated.
On/Off switch on the handle
The electric 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 op-
erate using suction only, e.g. when
moving from carpeting to an area rug,
for example.
Multi-function indicator light
The indicator light on the Electrobrush
lights up yellow to let you know that the
Electrobrush is switched on.
Frequently asked questions
The multi-function indicator light is lit
up red
The red light indicates a roller blockage,
e.g., as a result of a large item being
vacuumed up.
