en - Use
Height adjustment
You can adjust the height of two of the
four brush rolls on the powerbrush.
^ Step on the Height adjustment foot
pedal as shown until the desired
brush roll height is shown in the
display:

the floor
Level 5 = highest distance from
the floor
Releasing the intake socket /
Turning the powerbrush on
^ Step on the Lock release pedal and
release the intake socket. The
powerbrush is turned on.

en - Use
Using the powerbrush
To achieve the best results, slowly
^
pass the powerbrush back and forth
over the carpet.
When vacuuming rug fringes, place the
powerbrush on the rug and pull it over
the fringe onto the floor. Never push the
powerbrush over fringes, as they may
become entangled in the roller brush.
On/Off switch at the handle
(depending on model)
The electrical hoses (SES) have a
switch at the handle to turn the
powerbrush separately on and off.
This gives the option of using the
"vacuum only" instead of brushing the
carpet. This function is useful when
moving from hard floors to Berber or
other delicate carpeting.
