en U - Important Safety Instructions
Do not unplug vacuum by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the
~
plug, not the cord.
Turn off all controls before unplugging vacuum cleaner.
~
Do not submerge the Turbobrush into any liquid. Clean only with
~
a dry cloth or slightly damp cloth to avoid any moisture getting into
the vacuum cleaner, which could lead to the danger of an electric
shock.
Daily Use
Do not touch the brush roller while it is rotating.
~
Do not use the Turbobrush at head level. Long hair, ties, scarves,
~
etc. could be sucked in and become entangled in the brush roller.
Keep hair, loose clothing, curtains, fingers and all parts of the
~
body away from openings and moving parts.
Turn off all controls before unplugging. Unplug from the outlet

~
gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present, to avoid risk of
fire.

~
sucked in.

~
function and electrical safety of the vacuum cleaner, and could
create a risk of electric shock. Freshly shampooed carpets or
upholstery should be completely dry before they are vacuumed up.

en U - Operation
Features of the Turbobrush
The Turbobrush is driven by the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner. The
brush roll rotation increases the intake
of threads, hair and lint. Four wheels
keep the turbobrush 1/16" (1.5 mm)
from the floor.
Operation
The Turbobrush is intended for clea
ning short-to-medium pile carpeting.
Read these Operating Instructions
carefully and completely before
using this appliance. Failure to do so
can result in property damage or
personal injury to you or others.
– Uneven surfaces should not be va-
cuumed with the Turbobrush. The
brush could come into contact with
the floor and cause damage.
– Please consult the carpet manufactu-
rer before vacuuming 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.

Using the Turbobrush
To achieve the best results, slowly
^
pass the Turbobrush back and forth
over the carpet or flooring.
For carpets with fringes, always draw
the Turbobrush from the carpet across
the fringe towards the rest of the floor.

Attaching the Turbobrush to
the Miele Vacuum Cleaner
Model STB 205
This Turbobrush is intended for use
with Miele vacuum cleaners only.
Insert the suction wand into the neck
^
of the Turbobrush as shown. If the
locking mechanism does not comple
tely engage, gently twist the wand
while it is in the neck until it clicks into
place.
Using the Sliding Air Flow
Regulator
The Turbobrush is driven by the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner. Deeper
pile carpeting can be drawn into the
suction opening, thereby obstructing
airflow and impeding the action of the
wheel
en U - Operation
-
^ This can be remedied by sliding the
air flow regulator to the left as shown
in the left hand illustration.
For routine cleaning of low-to-medium
pile carpeting, or for deep cleaning in
general, slide the airflow regulator to
the right as shown in the far right illu
stration.
