Automatic Height Adjustment - Miele S179i Operating Instructions Manual

E) HANDLE HEIGHT AND BEATER BAR ADJUSTMENT
To lower the body of the cleaner, step on the foot pedal at the bottom left corner of the vacuum cleaner.
Once the body is reclined, the brush will automatically start to rotate.
If you wish to stop the beater bar, simple return the cleaner into the upright position. In case you want to
stop the beater bar while the cleaner is in the reclined position, push the beater bar stop pedal located on
the left side of the cleaning head, just above the foot pedal.
1. Upright position
The body should be in an
upright position when cleaning
tools are used.
F) AUTOMATIC HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Your Miele vacuum cleaner has an
Automatic Height Adjustment, feature
which adjusts the cleaning head to the proper
height of any carpet pile.
This system allows you to move from one
carpeted area to another, without having to
make manual adjustments.
G) FLOOR SCRATCH PREVENTION
To prevent scratching floors while using the vacuum cleaner on tiled or polished floors, two small wheels
are built into the base plate.
These two wheels also make it easy to slide the vacuum cleaner across carpeted floors.
2. Middle position
For normal cleaning, press the
foot pedal and pull back the
handle to a comfortable angle.
Release the pedal to lower the
cleaning head.
