Warning and Safety Instructions

The turbobrush is designed for use with Miele vacuum cleaners. It can also be used with other vacuum cleaner brands if the Miele turbobrush can be securely attached to that particular model. If an adapter is necessary to connect the Miele turbobrush to a vacuum cleaner, use a Miele recommended adapter only.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE

WARNING: NEVER VACUUM LIQUIDS!

• Electrical shock could occur if the vacuum cleaner or turbobrush is used outdoors or on wet surfaces.

• Always turn off the vacuum cleaner and disconnect the plug from the outlet before servicing the turbobrush.
• Never vacuum cigarette butts, fireplace ashes, matches or other smoking materials, as this may result in a fire.

• Do not immerse any part of the vacuum cleaner or turbobrush in water.
• Do not use the turbobrush to clean another electrical appliance.
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner or turbobrush to vacuum humans or animals.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for damage or injury when this appliance is used in a manner inconsistent with its designed purpose, or if the instructions in this manual are not followed.

Read these Operating instructions carefully and completely before using this appliance. Failure to do so can result in property damage or personal injury to you or others.

The Turbobrush is intended for cleaning short to medium pile carpeting. It can also be occasionally used on smooth floor surfaces.

Operation

Attaching the Turbobrush to the Miele Vacuum Cleaner

Model STB 205

This Turbobrush is intended for use with Miele vacuum cleaners only.

• Insert the suction wand into the neck of the turbobrush as shown. If the locking mechanism does not completely engage, gently twist the wand while it is in the neck until it clicks into place.
• To remove the turbobrush, press the release button while pulling the suction wand out of the neck of the turbobrush.

Model STB 201

This turbobrush has an adjustable collar that will allow it to be used on suction wands with a diameter of 1 3/16 inch - 1 1/2 inch (30 - 38 mm). It should be used on high performance vacuums, otherwise the overall performance of the vacuum may be compromised

Operating the Turbobrush

The Turbobrush is driven by the suction power of the vacuum cleaner. For the best results and control, set the vacuum cleaner for maximum suction, and adjust the Turbobrush speed by using the sliding air flow regulator located on the top of the Turbobrush housing.

• For routine cleaning of low-to-medium pile carpeting, or for deepcleaning in general, slide the air flow regulator to the right as shown in the far right illustration.

Deeper pile carpeting can be drawn into the suction opening, thereby obstructing air flow and impeding the action of the roller.

• This can be remedied by turning sliding the air flow regulator to the left as shown in the left hand illustration.

Important: When vacuuming rugs with fringes, always start the Turbobrush on the rug and pull it towards you onto the surrounding floor. Never push the turbobrush over the fringes, as they may be pulled off of the rug by the rotating roller.

Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the wall outlet before performing any maintenance or cleaning.

Maintenance

Always disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the wall outlet before performing any maintenance or cleaning.

To remove threads and or hair wrapped around the roller

• Cut any threads or hair that are wrapped around the roller using a pair of scissors.
  

The cut pieces will be drawn into the vacuum cleaner the next time it is used.

More obstinate tangles or blockages can be removed after opening the roller cover.

• Loosen the two locking screws using a coin or screwdriver, and remove the roller cover.
• Remove any items stuck in the brush compartment or wrapped around the roller brush.
  
• Replace the cover and tighten the locking screws.
