Miele S 140 Operating Instructions Manual page 15

(depending on model)
On some models the suction power can
be regulated to suit the type of flooring.
The higher the setting the more
powerful the suction. Select the suction
setting to suit the amount of dirt and the
type of material to be vacuumed.
Slightly soiled and smooth floor
coverings can be cleaned at an
energy-saving medium setting,
whereas thick-pile and fitted carpets
require the highest setting to ensure
deep-seated dirt is thoroughly
removed. The highest setting should
also be selected if a Turbobrush is
used.
The floorhead can be used for all
normal cleaning of carpets and rugs. It
can also be used with the brush
protruding to vacuum hard flooring
which is not susceptible to scratching.
For hard flooring, such as stone and
floors which are susceptible to
scratching, e.g. parquet, we
recommend using one of the special
Miele floor brushes (see "Accessories
available as optional extras").
Vacuum carpets and rugs with the
brush retracted:
^ Press the foot switch to g.
Clean hard flooring which is not
susceptible to scratching with the brush
protruding:
