Setting Down, Transportation And Storage - Miele HS11 Gebrauchsanweisung

To open the air inlet valve (dia. 24)
It is easy to reduce the suction power
for a short time, e.g. to prevent rugs or
other objects being sucked into the va-
cuum cleaner.
 Open the air inlet valve on the handle
far enough to reduce the suction
power.
The floorhead will be easier to man-
oeuvre. Close the valve when you are
ready to use full power again.
During vacuuming
 When vacuuming, pull the cleaner be-
hind you on its wheels. You can stand
it upright for vacuuming stairs and
curtains etc.

When vacuuming, in particular
fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster,
flour, talcum powder etc., electro-
static charges build up naturally. Un-
der certain conditions these charges
will be released. To avoid the un-
pleasant 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 (dia.
25).

Park System for pauses during vacu-
uming (dia. 26)
The Park system allows you to conveni-
ently park the suction tube and floor-
head during pauses.
 Slot the floorhead into the slot in the
parking attachment.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a slop-
ing surface, e.g. a ramp,
- retract the telescopic suction tube
fully
- do not use the park system if your
vacuum cleaner has an EasyLock
suction tube.
Park system for storage (dia. 27 + 28)

Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical supply
when you have finished using it.
Switch it off at the wall socket and
unplug it.
If your vacuum cleaner has an Easy-
Lock suction tube you can separate
the two sections for storage purposes.
 Press the release button on the lower
section and pull the top section out.
 Push the connection piece attached
to the upper tube into the lower tube.
 Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.
If your vacuum cleaner has a tele-
scopic suction tube, retract the tubes
fully so that it takes up less room for
storage.
 Slot the floorhead downwards into
one of the parking attachments on
the side of the vacuum cleaner.
This makes the vacuum cleaner easier
to carry or store.
