Using the brush attachments
Turbo brush for floors/carpets (1)(draw-
ings 11-12)
The turbo brush can be used to vacuum
floors, rugs and carpets with long or short
pile, and is ideal for picking up animal fur.
The cylindrical brush with hard bristles ro-
tates under the action of the air current and
its bristles effectively remove animal fur
and loose carpet and rug fibers.
Note: Never use the turbo brush to
clean rugs with fringe and pile of 15 mm
or more, because the rotating brush
can cause damage to such rugs. Do not
run the turbo brush over power cords
and turn off the vacuum cleaner imme-
diately after you are done using it.
