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