This Electrobrush complies with all relevant local and national
safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.
Please read the separate operating instructions supplied with the

personal injury and damage to the appliance.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them
on to any future user.
Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power supply
when you have finished using it, before changing any accessories,
as well as for maintenance work and cleaning. Unplug the power
cord from the socket.

Proper use
Never touch the Electrobrush while it is rotating.

Features of the Electrobrush
The roller brush in the Electrobrush is
motor-driven.
The Electrobrush removes deep-seated
dirt and prevents areas of frequent use
from becoming a path. Four rollers keep
the Electrobrush 1/16" (1.5mm) above
floor level.
Use
Recommended use
Do not use the Electrobrush to
clean highly variable or uneven
floors. The base plate might come
into contact with the floor and cause
damage.
Please note that the Electrobrush
should not be used to vacuum deeppile rugs and carpets or valuable
hand-knotted rugs and carpets, e.g.,
Persian and oriental rugs, etc. or long
piled rugs and carpets. There is a
risk of the threads being pulled out.
The Electrobrush is particularly suitable
for the intensive vacuuming of carpets
which are subject to hard wear.
The standard floorhead or one of the
Miele floorbrushes should be used for
cleaning hard floors.
It is also important to observe the
flooring manufacturer's cleaning and
care instructions.
How to use the Electrobrush
To achieve the best results, pass the
Electrobrush slowly backwards and
forwards over the carpet or floor.
For rugs with fringe, always draw the
Electrobrush from the middle of the rug
across the fringe towards the floor to
keep the fringe smooth.
Connecting the SEB 213/217 to your
vacuum cleaner (Figs. 01 - 05)
Connect the Electrobrush to the vac-
uum cleaner as illustrated.
On/Off switch on the handle
The electro hoses (SES) have an On/Off
switch on the handle which can be
used to switch the Electrobrush on and
off independently.
This means that you can switch the
Electrobrush off during vacuuming and
the vacuum cleaner will continue to operate using suction only, e.g. when
moving from carpeting to an area rug,
for example.
Multi-function indicator light
The indicator light on the Electrobrush
lights up yellow to let you know that the
Electrobrush is switched on.
Frequently asked questions
The multi-function indicator light is lit
up red
The red light indicates a roller blockage,
e.g., as a result of a large item being
vacuumed up.
5
en-US
Turn off the vacuum cleaner and un-
plug it.
Remove the blockage. See “Mainte-
nance”.
Wait approx. two minutes before
switching the vacuum cleaner on again.
This will enable the roller brush safety
mechanism to reset itself.
Maintenance
Always switch off the vacuum
cleaner for maintenance work and
unplug the power cord from the wall
socket.
Removing threads and hairs
(Figs. 06, 0
Use a pair of scissors to cut any
threads or hairs that have wound
themselves around the roller brush.
Then, run the vacuum cleaner to vacuum up the cut pieces.
The roller brush cover can be opened to
remove stubborn soiling or blockages
from inside the Electrobrush.
7 + 08)
With a new roller brush the end of the
roller bearing with the one notch must
face the base plate (see left-hand illustration). This enables the bristles to
stick out by approx. 1/16" (2mm). This
is important for good brushing.
When the bristles start to show signs of
wear after prolonged use:
Refit the roller bearing so that the end
with two notches points towards the
base plate (see right-hand illustration).
Refit the cover over the roller brush
and secure it (Fig. 10).
Tighten the locking screws.
If the bristles on the roller brush are
worn down any more, the roller brush
must be replaced with a new one.
Replacing a drive belt(Fig. 11)
Loosen both locking screws under-
neath the Electrobrush with a coin
and then remove the roller cover(Fig.
07).
Remove the roller brush(Fig. 08).
Loosen both locking screws under-
neath the Electrobrush with a coin
and then remove the roller cover.
The roller brush can then be taken out
of its holder and cleaned. Clean the inside area around the roller brush at the
same time.
When refitting the roller brush please
note: (Fig. 09)
The roller bearing has marks on it in the
form of notches.

Unscrew screws a underneath the
Electrobrush and then separate the
lower section b from the top sec-
tionc(Fig. 11).
Replace the drive belt.
Reassemble the Electrobrush in the
reverse order.
