Operating Instructions
Using the Floorbrush
The Miele SEB 236 Electro Premium Floorbrush is designed for optimal cleaning of carpets. Its motorized brush roll agitates carpet fibers to dislodge embedded dirt and debris, which is then efficiently suctioned by your vacuum cleaner.


Height Adjustment
The floorbrush features a five-level height adjustment mechanism to accommodate different carpet pile depths. Locate the height adjustment control on the top of the floorbrush. Adjust the setting to ensure the brush roll makes optimal contact with the carpet without causing excessive resistance or damage. A higher setting is generally for thicker, deeper pile carpets, while a lower setting is for thinner carpets or rugs.
LED Lighting
The integrated LED light at the front of the floorbrush illuminates the area being cleaned, making it easier to spot dirt, dust, and debris, especially in dimly lit spaces or under furniture. The light activates automatically when the floorbrush is powered on and connected to the vacuum.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the continued high performance of your Miele SEB 236 Electro Premium Floorbrush.
Cleaning the Brush Roll
Over time, hair, threads, and fibers may become entangled in the brush roll. To maintain effective cleaning:
- Disconnect Power: Always unplug the vacuum cleaner from the power outlet before performing any maintenance.
- Access Brush Roll: Depending on the model, you may need to release a latch or unscrew a cover to access the brush roll. Refer to your vacuum cleaner's main manual for specific instructions.
- Remove Debris: Carefully cut away any tangled hair or fibers from the brush roll using scissors. Be cautious not to damage the bristles or the brush roll itself.
- Clean Housing: Wipe down the exterior of the floorbrush and the brush roll housing with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Reassemble: Reassemble the brush roll and cover securely.
General Care
- Avoid vacuuming sharp objects that could damage the brush roll or internal components.
- Store the floorbrush in a clean, dry place when not in use.
