Mini turbo brush (specific types only)
The mini turbo brush is specially designed for effectively picking up animal hairs and fluff from
furniture and mattresses. The unique brush inside the mini turbo brush loosens the hair from the
fabric. Then the hair is picked up by the vacuum cleaner.
The mini turbo brush can be attached to the handgrip of the hose or to the telescopic tube.
1 To attach the mini turbo brush, insert it into the handgrip or the telescopic tube and turn a
little.
2 To detach the mini turbo brush, pull it out of the handgrip or the telescopic tube while
turning it a little.
using the appliance
1 Pull the cord out of the appliance and put the mains plug in the wall socket.
2 Press the on/off button on top of the appliance to switch on the appliance (Fig. 16).
Tip: To avoid bending your back, press the on/off button with your foot.
3 If you want to park the tube for a moment during vacuum cleaning, insert the ridge on the
nozzle into the parking slot (Fig. 17).
4 To ensure stable parking of the telescopic tube, adjust the tube to the shortest length.

adjusting suction power
1 During vacuum cleaning, you can adjust the suction power with the selection wheel on top of
the appliance (Fig. 18).
- Use maximum suction (+) power to vacuum very dirty carpets and hard floors.
- Use minimum suction power (-) to vacuum curtains, tablecloths etc.
2 Specific types only: You can also adjust the suction power with the suction power slide on the
handgrip (Fig. 19).

This prevents the side brushes from becoming bent (Fig. 12).
