tri-active nozzle (specific types only)
The Tri-Active nozzle is a multi-purpose nozzle for carpets and hard floors.
- The side brushes catch more dust and dirt at the sides of the nozzle and allow you to clean
better along furniture and other obstacles (Fig. 21).
- The opening at the front of the nozzle allows you to suck up larger particles (Fig. 22).
1 Use the hard floor setting to clean hard floors (for instance for tiled, parqueted, laminated
and linoleumed flooring): push the rocker switch on top of the nozzle with your foot to
make the brush strip come out of the housing. At the same time, the wheel is lifted to
prevent scratching and to increase manoeuvrability (Fig. 23).
2 Use the carpet setting to clean carpets: push the rocker switch again to make the brush strip
disappear into the nozzle housing. The wheel is lowered automatically (Fig. 24).
