and linoleumed flooring): push the rocker switch on top of the nozzle with your foot to
make the brush strip come out of the housing. At the same time, the wheel is lifted to
prevent scratching and to increase manoeuvrability (Fig. 28).
2 Use the carpet setting to clean carpets: push the rocker switch again to make the brush strip
disappear into the nozzle housing. The wheel is lowered automatically (Fig. 29).
Combination nozzle (specific types only)
The combination nozzle can be used on either carpets or hard floors.
1 To clean hard floors, push the rocker switch on top of the nozzle with your foot (Fig. 30).
The brush strip for cleaning hard floors comes out of the nozzle housing.
