 Lift the handle out of its holder to ac-
cess the telescopic suction tube (dia.
17).
 To increase stability turn the elbow
joint at the bottom of the hose down-
wards as illustrated until it clicks into
position above the retainer (dia. 16).
One part of the telescopic suction tube
is packed inside the other, and it can be
adjusted to suit your height for comfort-
able vacuuming.
 Press the release button and adjust
the telescopic suction tube to the de-
sired height (dia. 18).
For normal vacuum cleaning, the
parts of the telescopic tube must be
pushed back together and hooked
back into position.
Make sure the handle is correctly
hooked into its holder on the vacuum
cleaner (dia. 17).
Using the Electrobrush
Recommended use
Please observe the flooring manu-
facturer's cleaning and care instruc-
tions.
The Electrobrush is particularly suitable
for intensive vacuuming of carpets
which are subject to hard wear. It is
very effective at removing deep seated
dirt and preventing areas of frequent
use being trodden into a path.

Please note that the Electrobrush
should not be used for vacuuming
deep-pile rugs and carpets or valu-
able hand-knotted rugs, e.g. Persian
and oriental rugs etc. There is a
danger of the threads being pulled
out. If in doubt, contact the carpet
manufacturer/retailer.

Do not use the Electrobrush to
clean highly variable or uneven
floors. The brush might come into
contact with the floor and cause
damage.
Switching the Electrobrush on and
off (dia. 19)
To use the Electrobrush, you need to
switch it on in addition to the vacuum
cleaner with the
 button on the
handle.
The Electrobrush indicator light on the
control unit will light up yellow.
This button also enables you to switch
off the Electrobrush during vacuuming.
The Electrobrush will switch itself off
automatically as soon as the vacuum
cleaner is raised to its upright posi-
tion.
How to use the Electrobrush

To achieve the best results, pass the
Electrobrush slowly backwards and
forwards over the carpet or floor.
For rugs with fringes always draw the
Electrobrush from the middle of the rug
across the fringe towards the floor.
