ation to the Turbobrush is at the owner's risk and could be
dangerous.
 The vacuum cleaner and Turbobrush can only be used

the vacuum cleaner and Turbobrush unless they are con-
stantly supervised.

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

Turbobrush features
The Turbobrush is operated by the suc-
tion power of the vacuum cleaner. It has
a rotating roller brush which is very ef-
fective at picking up thread, hairs and
fluff. Four rollers maintain the brush 1.5
mm away from the floor.
Recommended use
The Turbobrush should not be
used for vacuuming deep-pile rugs
and carpets or valuable hand-knot-
ted rugs and carpets, e.g. Persian
and oriental rugs etc. There is a
danger of the threads being pulled
out.
Do not use the Turbobrush to
clean highly textured or uneven
floors. The brush might come into
contact with the floor and cause
damage.
The Turbobrush is particularly suitable
for vacuuming thread and hair from cut
pile carpeting.
The standard floorhead or one of the
Miele floorbrushes should be used for
cleaning hard floors.
It is also important to observe the
flooring manufacturer's cleaning and
care instructions.
Using the Turbobrush
To achieve the best effect, pass the
Turbobrush slowly backwards and
forwards over the carpet or floor cov-
ering.
For carpets with fringes always draw
the Turbobrush from the carpet across
the fringe towards the rest of the floor.
Fitting the Turbobrush(dia. 01)
Instead of the usual floor attachment,
fit the Turbobrush to the suction tube
by twisting it to the left and right. En-
sure that the locking device engages.
To open the air inlet valve
(dia. 02)
The brush is operated by the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner. With
deeper, dense pile carpets the roller
brush may rotate more slowly. This is
caused by the carpet pile creating a
seal around the mouth of the Tur-
bobrush and hindering the flow of air.
This will affect how well the carpet is
brushed.
To increase the airflow, open the air
inlet valve (top illustration).
In all other situations the air inlet valve
should be closed, to benefit from the
full suction power.
Close the air inlet valve (bottom illus-
tration).

Maintenance
Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical supply for
cleaning and maintenance work on
the Turbobrush. Switch off at the wall
socket and remove the plug.
Removing threads and hairs (dia. 03)
Use scissors to cut any threads or
hairs which have wound around the
roller brush. There is a groove on the
roller to guide you.
Then run the vacuum cleaner to va-
cuum up the bits.
