During Vacuuming; To Regulate The Suction Power; To Open The Air Inlet Valve; Parking And Storing The Cleaner - Miele HS12 Mode D'emploi

During vacuuming (dia. 12)
,
When vacuuming fine dust, e.g.
sawdust, sand, plaster, flour, talcum
powder 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 contact with this metal
strip during vacuuming.

To regulate the suction power

(dia. 13)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to
manoeuvre the floorhead.
The vacuum cleaner has symbols on
the controls which indicate the type of
use the settings are suitable for.
# - curtains, fabric
$ - upholstery, cushions
% - thick pile carpets, rugs and
runners
* - for energy-saving vacuuming
(this setting is also very quiet)
( - loop pile carpet
) - heavily soiled hard flooring and
intensive cleaning of carpets
When using the AirTeQ floorhead, if
the suction seems too high, reduce
the suction until the floorhead is
easier to manoeuvre.
^ Turn the suction power selector
manually to the suction power setting
you require.
To open the air inlet valve (dia. 14 +
15)
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other objects being sucked into the
vacuum cleaner.
^ Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction
power.
The floorhead will be easier to
manoeuvre. Close the valve up again
when you are ready to use full power
again.

Parking and storing the cleaner

Park system (dia. 16)
The Park system allows you to
conveniently park the suction tube and
floorhead during pauses.
^ Slot the floorhead into the parking
attachment at the back of the
vacuum cleaner.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a
sloping surface, e.g. a ramp,
- retract the telescopic tube fully
- do not use the park system if your
vacuum cleaner has an EasyLock
suction tube!
