Regulating The Suction - Miele S 240 series Operating Instructions Manual

Vacuuming
^ When vacuuming pull the cleaner
behind you on its wheels. You can
stand it upright for vacuuming stairs
and curtains etc.
Warning: When vacuuming
especially fine dust, e.g. sawdust,
sand, plaster, flour, talcum powder
etc., electrostatic charges build up
naturally. Under certain conditions
these charges will be released. To
avoid the unpleasant effects of these
discharges, a metal inlay has been
incorporated into the underside of
the handle. Please make sure that
you keep your hand in constant
contact with this metal strip during
vacuuming.

Regulating the suction

(for models with a rotary selector)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring. The higher the
wattage the more powerful the suction.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to
manoeuvre the floorhead. Setting the
suction power selector according to the
degree of soiling and type of flooring
being cleaned, will save energy.
Smooth, lightly soiled flooring is easily
cleaned using the Economy d setting.
Fitted carpets and thick pile carpets
require the most powerful setting to
remove ingrained soiling.
