Turbobrush features
The Turbobrush is operated by the suc‐
tion power of the vacuum cleaner. It
has a rotating roller brush which is very
effective at picking up thread, hairs and
fluff. Four rollers maintain the brush 1.5
mm away from the floor.
Recommended use

The Turbobrush should not be
used for vacuuming deep-pile rugs
and carpets or valuable hand-knot‐
ted rugs and carpets, e.g. Persian
and oriental rugs etc. There is a dan‐
ger of the threads being pulled out.

Do not use the Turbobrush to
clean highly textured or uneven
floors. The brush might come into
contact with the floor and cause
damage.
The Turbobrush is particularly suitable
for vacuuming thread and hair from cut
pile 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.

Using the Turbobrush
 To achieve the best effect, pass the
Turbobrush slowly backwards and
forwards over the carpet or floor co‐
vering.
For carpets with fringes always draw
the Turbobrush from the carpet across
the fringe towards the rest of the floor.
Fitting the Turbobrush
Model STB 205 (dia. 01)
This Turbobrush is intended for use
with Miele vacuum cleaners.
 Instead of the usual floor attachment,
fit the Turbobrush to the suction tube
by twisting it to the left and right. En‐
sure that the locking device engages.
Model STB 201 Vario (dia. 02)
This Turbobrush has an adjustable con‐
nector. It can be used on any suction
tube with a diameter of between 30 and
38 mm. The Turbobrush should, howev‐
er, only be used with the vacuum clean‐
er set to its highest power setting.
Open the air inlet valve (dia. 03)
The brush is operated by the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner. With
deeper, dense pile carpets the roller
brush may rotate more slowly. This is
caused by the carpet pile creating a
seal around the mouth of the Turbo‐
brush and hindering the flow of air. This
will affect how well the carpet is brush‐
ed.
 To increase the airflow, open the air
inlet valve (left hand illustration).
