Opening The Air Inlet Valve - Miele S 500 Operating Instructions Manual

Use
Automatic setting
If the Automatic setting is chosen the
vacuum cleaner automatically adjusts
the suction power to suit the surface
being cleaned. This ensures the correct
power setting for the type of floor or
carpet being cleaned.
^ Keep pressing the - control until the
Automatic setting is activated.
^ Press the + control to de-activate the
Automatic setting.
,
Do not use the Automatic setting
to vacuum lightweight materials or
curtains. These could be sucked in
and possibly damaged.

Opening the air inlet valve

Opening the air inlet valve allows you to
reduce the suction power quickly and
easily for brief periods. This is very use-
ful if you have vacuumed up something
too large by mistake, or when moving
from cleaning a carpeted floor to a
lightweight rug. Reducing the suction
will prevent the object or rug from being
sucked up and causing a blockage.
^ Open the air inlet valve far enough to
reduce the power. If necessary, re-
move any blockage, close the valve
up again and continue vacuuming.
