Floor nozzles are subject to a
certain amount of wear, depen-
ding on the type of hard floors
you have (e.g. rough, rustic tiles).
You must therefore check the un-
derside of the floor nozzle at re-
gular intervals. Worn undersides
of floor nozzles may have sharp
edges that can damage sensitive
hard floors, such as parquet or
linoleum. The manufacturer does
not accept any responsibility for
damage caused by worn floor
nozzles.
