Using The Electrobrush - Miele SEB 217 Operating Instructions Manual

Operating instructions
These operating instructions are for
Electrobrush models:
1. SEB 217 for hand-held vacuum
cleaners and
2. SEB 215 / SEB 216 for cylinder
vacuum cleaners.
The illustrations referred to in the text
are shown at the end of the operating
instructions.

Using the Electrobrush

The Electrobrush is particularly suitable
for intensive vacuuming of carpets
which are subject to hard wear. It is
very effective at removing deep seated
dirt and preventing areas of frequent
use being trodden into a path.
A separate motor drives the
Electrobrush roller brush and four
rollers maintain the brush 1.5 mm away
from the floor. The normal floorhead or
one of the Miele floorbrushes should be
used for cleaning hard floors, such as
tiled or parquet floors.
It is also important to observe the
flooring manufacturer's cleaning and
care instructions.
10
The following should not be
vacuumed using the Electrobrush:
– Floor surfaces with a variable or
uneven profile. The brush might
come into contact with the floor
and cause damage.
– Carpets such as saxony with very
long-pile, berber and sheepskin
rugs, and valuable hand-knotted
carpets, e.g. Persian and similar.
There is a danger of the threads
being pulled out. If in doubt, contact
the carpet manufacturer/retailer.
Using the Electrobrush
^ To achieve the best effect, pass the
Electrobrush slowly backwards and
forwards over the carpet or floor
covering. For carpets with fringes,
always draw the Electrobrush from
the carpet across the fringe towards
the rest of the floor.
