Adjusting the
floorhead (dia. 17, 18 + 19)
Depending on the model, your vacuum
cleaner will be fitted as standard with
one of the floorheads illustrated.
This vacuum cleaner can be used for
daily cleaning of carpets, rugs and ro-
bust hard flooring.
Miele offers a range of other floorheads,
brushes and accessories for other types
of flooring and special applications (see
“Optional accessories”).
Please observe the flooring manu-
facturer’s cleaning and care instruc-
tions.
Clean hard flooring which is not sus-
ceptible to scratching, as well as floor-
ing with gaps or deep crevices in it with
the brush protruding:
 Press the  foot control.
This type of flooring can be briefly va-
cuumed with the brush retracted. Car-
pets and rugs should be vacuumed with
the brush retracted:
 Press the  foot control.
If the suction power of the adjustable
floorhead seems too high, reduce the
suction until the floorhead is easier
to manoeuvre (see “Use” – “Regulat-
ing the suction power”).
Adjustable floorhead (dia. 20)
The adjustable floorhead can also be
used for vacuuming the stairs.

For safety reasons when vacu-
uming stairs, it is best to start at the
bottom of the stairs and move up-
wards.

quired length.

overheating and damage.

plug it.

To regulate the suction power
(dia. 24)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to man-
oeuvre the floorhead.
The vacuum cleaner has symbols on
the controls which indicate the type of
use the settings are suitable for.
