Miele S 8370 Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
Opening the auxiliary air regulator
(see fig. 26)
(depending on model)
You can easily reduce the suction
power briefly to prevent the brush from
sticking to textile flooring, for example.
^
Open the auxiliary air regulator just
far enough so that the suction nozzle
moves easily.
This reduces the suction so the floor
tool is easier to push.
While vacuuming (see fig. 27 + 28)
The vacuum cleaner can also stand on
its end for vacuuming stairs, drapes
etc.
,
To prevent static electricity your
hand must touch the metal inlay on
the underside of the vacuum hand-
piece. Be certain to continuously
touch this inlay when vacuuming
fine dust, flour or sawdust as these
materials are more likely to create a
static electricity. To further prevent
static discharge while vacuuming,
pull the vacuum along by the hose
with one hand while continuing to
hold the handpiece in the other
hand.
Illuminating the work area (see fig. 29)
Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with
an LED on the handle to illuminate the
work area (depending on model).
^
Press the I button on the LED
handle.
It will turn itself off automatically after
approx. 30 seconds.
Parking, transport and storage
Park-System (see fig. 30)
(not for use with Powerbrushes
SEB 228 / EB03 and SEB 236 / EB01)
The Park-System allows you to park the
telescopic wand and the suction unit on
the vacuum cleaner during brief pauses.
^
Insert the parking clip attachment on
the suction unit into the parking slot
from above.
If the vacuum is on an incline, e.g. a
ramp, slide the tube sections of the
telescopic wand all the way in.
Turning on and off with the
Park-System
(depending on model)
The vacuum cleaner is automatically
turned off if you insert the suction unit
with the parking slot into the
Park-System.
Lifting the suction unit out turns the
vacuum cleaner automatically back on
using the last selected power level.
Park-System for storage (see fig. 31)
,
Turn the vacuum cleaner off
after use. Unplug the power plug
from the electrical outlet.
^
Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.
It is helpful to completely insert the
tubes into the telescopic wand.
