USE OF THE ELECTROBRUSH
The Electrobrush is a motorised rotating
brush that ensures very effective cleaning.
It vacuums and cleans deep down. It has
bristles all along, enabling it to remove
threads and animal hair embedded in rugs
and carpets.
Note: If the sucker attachment adheres to the
surface too much, place the switch back to the
«Floor» position.
ATTENTION Do not vacuum large debris that
may block the brush and damage it.
Do not use the electro-brush on deep pile
carpets, animal fur and curtain fringes.
CLEANING THE ELECTROBRUSH
ATTENTION Always stop and unplug your va-
cuum cleaner before maintenance or cleaning.
Delicately cut the threads, hairs, animal fur,
etc. following the notch designed for this
purpose on the electrobrush (fig.7).
