G Warning and Safety instructions

This Electrobrush conforms to current safety requirements. Incorrect use can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the vacuum cleaner and to the brush please read these operating instructions, as well as the instructions supplied with the vacuum cleaner, before using this appliance for the first time.

Keep these instructions in a safe place, and make them available to future users.

Correct use

The Miele Electrobrush is a motor driven accessory appliance for use

only with Miele vacuum cleaners. It must not be used with vacuum cleaners produced by other manufacturers.

The Electrobrush must only be used for household purposes to

vacuum and brush dry floor surfaces. Do not use on people or animals.

Any other use, modification or alteration to the brush is at the owner’s risk and could be dangerous.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.

Technical safety

Before using the Electrobrush for the first time, ensure that the

connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. It is essential that they match to avoid damage to the appliance.

Do not use the Electrobrush if it shows any sign of damage.

A damaged appliance could be dangerous.

Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the mains supply

when you have finished using it as well as for maintenance work and cleaning. Switch off at the wall socket and remove the plug.

Do not let the appliance get wet. Clean with a dry or slightly damp

cloth when disconnected from the mains supply. If moisture gets into the appliance there is the risk of an electric shock.

Safety with children

Do not let children play with the appliance or its controls. Supervise

its use by older children and the elderly or infirm.

G Warning and Safety instructions

Use

Never touch the roller brush while it is rotating. Danger of injury.

Do not use the Turbobrush at head level. Long hair, ties, scarves etc.

could be vacuumed in and become entangled in the roller brush.

Keep the Electrobrush away from curtains, clothing etc, as these

could be vacuumed in and become entangled in the roller and possibly get damaged.

Do not vacuum up items which are heavy, hard or have sharp edges.

They could block the Electrobrush and the vacuum cleaner and cause damage.

Do not vacuum up ashes or coal, whether glowing or apparently

extinguished. The Electrobrush and the vacuum cleaner might catch fire.

Do not vacuum up any inflammable or combustible liquids or gases

and do not vacuum in areas where such substances are stored. Danger of explosion.

Do not vacuum up any water, liquid or damp dirt. This will cause major

faults and could seriously impair the functioning and electrical safety of the vacuum cleaner and the Electrobrush. Danger of electric shock! Wait until any freshly cleaned or shampooed carpets or floor coverings are completely dry before attempting to vacuum.

Blocked roller warning light

The indicator light on the Electrobrush has two functions.

The light is

–green when the Electrobrush is switched on.

–red, if the roller brush is blocked (blocked roller warning light), for example, when a large object has been vacuumed up.

^Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the electricity supply immediately the red light comes on. Switch off at the wall socket and remove the plug.

^Remove the cause of the obstruction, see "Cleaning and care".

Then wait for about two minutes, before switching the cleaner back on again. This allows the blocked roller warning indicator to re-set itself.

Disposing of an old appliance

When disposing of an old Electrobrush first make it unusable.

Make appropriate arrangements for its safe disposal.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Operating instructions

These operating instructions are for Electrobrush models:

1.SEB 217 for hand-held vacuum cleaners and

2.SEB 215 / SEB 216 for cylinder vacuum cleaners.

The illustrations referred to in the text are shown at the end of the operating instructions.

Using the Electrobrush

The Electrobrush is particularly suitable for intensive vacuuming of carpets which are subject to hard wear. It is very effective at removing deep seated dirt and preventing areas of frequent use being trodden into a path.

A separate motor drives the Electrobrush roller brush and four rollers maintain the brush 1.5 mm away from the floor. The normal floorhead or one of the Miele floorbrushes should be used for cleaning hard floors, such as tiled or parquet floors.

It is also important to observe the flooring manufacturer’s cleaning and care instructions.

The following should not be vacuumed using the Electrobrush:

–Floor surfaces with a variable or uneven profile. The brush might come into contact with the floor and cause damage.

–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. If in doubt, contact the carpet manufacturer/retailer.

Using the Electrobrush

^To achieve the best effect, pass the Electrobrush slowly backwards and forwards over the carpet or floor covering. For carpets with fringes, always draw the Electrobrush from the carpet across the fringe towards the rest of the floor.
