To Regulate The Suction Power; Switching The Electrobrush On And Off - Miele HS15 Operating Instructions Manual

To regulate the suction power (dia.
20)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to
manoeuvre the floorhead.
The vacuum cleaner has symbols on
the Comfort handle which indicate the
type of use the settings are suitable for.
The selected power level will light up
yellow.
# - curtains, fabric
$ - upholstery, cushions
% - thick pile carpets, rugs and
runners
* - for energy-saving vacuuming
(this setting is also very quiet)
( - loop pile carpet
) - heavily soiled hard flooring and
intensive cleaning of carpets
When using the Electrobrush /
floorhead, if the suction seems too
high, reduce the suction until the
Electrobrush / floorhead is easier to
manoeuvre.
^ Press the + button on the Comfort
handle to select a higher suction
power level.
^ Press the - button on the Comfort
handle to select a lower suction
power level.
During vacuuming (dia. 22)
^ When vacuuming, pull the cleaner
behind you on its wheels. You can
stand it upright for vacuuming stairs
and curtains etc.
,
When vacuuming 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.
Switching the Electrobrush on and
off (dia. 23)
To use the Electrobrush, this must be
switched on additionally to the vacuum
cleaner.
^ To do this, press the On/Off button
j on the Comfort handle.
The LED on the Comfort handle will
light up.
This means that you can switch the
Electrobrush off during vacuuming and
the vacuum cleaner will continue to
operate using suction only. This is
useful when moving from vacuuming a
fitted carpet to a rug, for example.
