Removing threads and hairs
(illustrations

,
g
and

)
^
Cut any threads or hairs that have
become entangled on the roller brush
with a pair of scissors. Then run the
vacuum cleaner to vacuum up the
bits.
For more obstinate tangles or
blockages inside the Electrobrush, the
cover can be opened.
^
Loosen the two locking screws on the
underside of the brush with a small
coin, and take off the roller cover.
The roller brush can now be taken out
of its supports and cleaned. The
compartment interior can also be
cleaned.
When re-fitting the roller brush
please note the following
(see illustration
i
)
There are notches on the supports.
With a new roller brush:
Fit the supports so that the single notch
points towards the roller cover, (see left
hand illustration). The bristles protrude
approx. 2 mm. This is important for the
brushing effect.
If the bristles are slightly worn out:
^
Fit the supports so that two notches
point towards the roller cover, (see
right hand illustration).
^
Put the roller cover back on and
close it, (see illustration
j
).
^
Tighten the locking screws.
If the bristles are totally worn out, a
replacement roller brush can be
purchased through your Miele Dealer or
the Spare Parts Dept.
