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.
Two of the four rollers are height-ad-
justable, allowing you to adjust the gap
between the Electrobrush and the oor.
Recommended use
Please note that the Electrobrush
should not be used to vacuum deep-
pile 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 SEB 228 Electro Plus is particularly
suitable for intensive vacuuming of car-
pets which are subject to hard wear.
The SEB 228 Electro SC Soft Carpet is
especially designed for cleaning partic-
ularly soft carpeting.
The standard oorhead or one of the
Miele oorbrushes should be used for
cleaning hard oors.
It is also important to observe the
ooring manufacturer's cleaning and
care instructions.
