Parking, Transport And Storage; Maintenance; Emptying The Dust Container - Miele HS16 Operating Instructions Manual

en-US
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g., to prevent rugs or
other objects being sucked into the
vacuum cleaner.
 Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction
power.
The floorhead will be easier to maneu-
ver.
During vacuuming
 When vacuuming, pull the vacuum
cleaner behind you on its wheels. You
can stand it upright for vacuuming
stairs and curtains, etc.
If you are vacuuming a large amount of
dust at once, the ComfortClean self-
cleaning function should be started
manually either during a vacuuming
pause or immediately afterward. This
enables the vacuum cleaner to achieve
the very best cleaning performance
again right away (see "Maintenance –
Starting the ComfortClean self-cleaning
function manually").

Parking, transport and storage

Park system for pauses during vacu-
uming (Fig. 17)
The park system allows you to conve-
niently park the suction wand and floor-
head during pauses.
 Slot the floorhead into the parking at-
tachment on the vacuum cleaner.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a slop-
ing surface, e.g., a ramp, retract the
telescopic suction wand fully.

you have finished using it. Unplug
the power cord from the outlet.
 Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.
