brushbar is used when vacuuming. If this is the case, we recommend vacuuming
in hard floors mode and consulting with your flooring manufacturer. (Refer to
carpets/hard floors section.)
• If used in a garage when car cleaning, care should be taken to wipe the soleplate
and wheels with a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles
which could damage delicate floors.
CARPETS/HARD FLOORS
The brushbar will always default to 'ON' (spinning) each time you switch on the
vacuum cleaner and recline it for cleaning. The brushbar will automatically stop if it
becomes obstructed. If the brushbar stops during use, please refer to the 'Clearing
brushbar obstructions' section. To switch the brushbar OFF (e.g. for hard floors),
recline the vacuum cleaner and turn it 'ON', then press the brushbar 'ON/Off'
button – the brushbar will stop spinning.
