Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical supply
for maintenance work and cleaning.
Switch off at the wall socket and
withdraw the plug.
Removing threads and hairs
(illustrations
f, g and h)
^ 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.
Replacing the drive belt
(illustrations
k and l)
The casing must be opened to fit a new
drive belt.
^ Remove roller cover a (as already
described) and lift roller brush b off
its supports.
^ Unscrew fixing screws c from the
brush base section d, and separate
the base section from top section e.
^ Fit a new drive belt.
^ Reassemble the Electrobrush by
reversing the procedure.
