Preparing for use
Using the standard floorhead
It is important to observe the flooring
manufacturer's cleaning and care
instructions.
The floorhead can be used for all
normal cleaning of carpets, rugs and
robust hard flooring. For hard flooring,
such as stone and floors which are
susceptible to scratching, e.g. parquet,
we recommend using the special Miele
Hard Floor Brush (see "Optional
accessories").
Connecting the electro
telescopic wand and the stan-
dard floorhead
^ Fit the electro telescopic wand into
the standard floorhead, and turn
clockwise or anti-clockwise until they
lock together with a click.
^ To release the handle from the
telescopic wand, press the locking
button and pull the handle away from
the telescopic wand.
Adjusting the standard
floorhead
Vacuum carpets and rugs with the
brush retracted:
^ Press the foot control ö.
Clean hard flooring which is not
susceptible to scratching with the brush
protruding:
^ Press the foot control ä.
Always clean hard flooring with deep
cracks or spacing between
floorboards with the brush protruding.
