If the suction seems too high when us-
ing the Electrobrush/floorhead, reduce
the suction until the Electrobrush/
floorhead is easier to maneuver.

During vacuuming
When vacuuming, pull the vacuum
cleaner behind you on its wheels. You
can stand it upright for vacuuming
stairs and curtains, etc.
When vacuuming, in particular
fine dust, e.g. dust, sand, plaster,
flour, etc., electrostatic charges build
up naturally. Under certain conditions
these charges will be released. To
avoid the unpleasant effects of these
discharges, a metal inlay has been
incorporated into the underside of
the handle. Please make sure that
you keep your hand in constant con-
tact with this metal strip during vacu-
uming (Fig. 14).
If a large amount of dust is vacuumed
at once, the ComfortClean self-cleaning
function should be started manually ei-
ther during a vacuuming pause or
16
straight away. This enables the vacuum
cleaner to achieve the very best clean-
ing performance again straight away
(see "Maintenance - Starting the Com-
fortClean self-cleaning function manu-
ally").
Switching the Powerbrush on and off
(Fig. 15)
To use the Electrobrush, it has to be
switched on additionally to the vacuum
cleaner.
To do this, press the On/Off button
on the Comfort handle.
This means that you can switch the
Electrobrush off during vacuuming and
the vacuum cleaner will continue to op-
erate using suction only, e.g. when
moving from vacuuming a fitted carpet
to a high quality rug, for example.
Parking, transport and storage
Park system for pauses during vacu-
uming (Fig. 16)
(cannot be used with the Electrobrush
SEB 236)
The park system allows you to conve-
niently park the suction wand and floor-
head during pauses.
Slot the floorhead into the parking at-
tachment on the vacuum cleaner.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a slop-
ing surface, e.g., a ramp, retract the
telescopic suction wand fully.
