Miele SEB 213, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 20 / 68

Recommended use
Observe the cleaning instructions of
the floor manufacturer.
The Powerbrush is particularly suitable
for cleaning and restoring crushed
carpet pile of wall to wall carpeting and
floor coverings subject to hard wear,
especially in high traffic areas.
To clean hard flooring, it is better to use
the floor brush.
Do not use the powerbrush on:
– Floors with a variable or uneven
surface. The brush could come into
contact with the floor and cause
damage.
– High quality, hand knotted rugs, for
example Berber or Persian rugs, as
well as extremely long piled area
rugs and carpets. There is a danger
of the threads being pulled out. Turn
the powerbrush off to vacuum these
types of floor coverings and use only
suction.
