Setup
The Miele AllTeQ Floor Nozzle is designed for quick and easy attachment to your Miele vacuum cleaner wand.
- Ensure your vacuum cleaner is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet.
- Align the opening of the AllTeQ Floor Nozzle with the end of your vacuum cleaner's telescopic wand or hose handle.
- Push the nozzle firmly onto the wand until it clicks securely into place. A secure connection is essential for optimal suction.

Operating Instructions
The AllTeQ Floor Nozzle offers versatile cleaning for different floor surfaces. Use the foot switch to select the appropriate mode:
Cleaning Hard Floors
For hard surfaces such as parquet, laminate, tile, or stone, ensure the bristles are extended. Press the foot switch on the top of the nozzle to extend the bristles. This mode allows the nozzle to glide smoothly and effectively pick up dust and debris without scratching the floor.

Cleaning Low-Pile Carpets
For low-pile carpets and rugs, retract the bristles. Press the foot switch again to retract the bristles. This allows the nozzle to maintain optimal suction and effectively remove dirt and dust from carpet fibers. The wide thread catchers assist in collecting hair and lint.

Maneuvering
