Do not use the Powerbrush on floors with a variable or uneven surface. The brush could come in contact with the floor and cause damage.
Turning the Powerbrush On/Off (see fig. 24)
The beater bar in the Powerbrush is driven by a separate motor, which can be switched on and off.
Press the "Carpet/Floor" button on the handle.
The Powerbrush turns on. The indicator on the control panel lights yellow.
You can also use the button to switch off the Powerbrush while vacuuming, for example when moving from carpet to hard floors.
The Powerbrush automatically shuts off anytime the body of the vacuum cleaner is placed into the full upright position.
For best results, move the Powerbrush slowly back and forth over the area you wish to clean.
Maintenance and care
Turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before performing any maintenance work.
The Miele filter system consists of the following three components.
–FilterBag
–Exhaust filter
–Dust compartment filter
Each of these components must be changed periodically to maintain the vacuum cleaner’s efficiency.
Only use Miele FilterBags, filters and accessories with the "Original Miele" logo. Only then can the suction power of the vacuum cleaner reach its optimum potential creating the best possible cleaning results.
The use of FilterBags made of paper or a similar material, or FilterBags with a cardboard retaining plate can lead to serious damage to the vacuum cleaner and possibly voiding the warranty, just as with the use of filter bags without the "Original Miele" logo.
Purchasing new FilterBags and filters
Original Miele FilterBags and filters can be purchased from an authorized Miele vacuum dealer or by visiting the Miele store at http://store.miele.com.
