Features of the Powerbrush
The Powerbrush is driven by its own
motor.
It is very effective at removing deep
seated dirt and preventing areas of fre-
quent use being trodden into a path.
Two of the four rollers are height-ad-
justable, allowing you to adjust the gap
between the Powerbrush and the floor.
Recommended use
Do not use the Powerbrush on
high quality, hand knotted rugs, for
example Berber or Persian rugs, as
well as extremely long piled area
rugs and carpets. There is a danger
of the threads being pulled out.
The Powerbrush SEB 228 Electro Plus
is particularly suitable for intensive vac-
uuming of carpets which are subject to
hard wear.
The Powerbrush SEB 228 Electro SC
SoftCarpet is especially designed for
cleaning particularly soft carpeting.
The standard floorhead or one of the
Miele floorbrushes should be used for
cleaning hard floors.
It is also important to observe the
flooring manufacturer's cleaning and
care instructions.

How to use the Powerbrush
To achieve the best results, pass the
Powerbrush slowly back and forth
over the carpet or floor.
For rugs with fringes always draw the
Powerbrush from the middle of the rug
across the fringe towards the floor.

uum cleaner as illustrated.
Adjusting the height (Fig. 8)
The Powerbrush has five settings for
adjusting the distance between the
Electrobrush and the floor. The display
shows the setting selected.
Setting 1 - closest to the floor
Setting 5 or SC+ - furthest from the
floor
Press the foot switch repeatedly until
the required setting is reached.
