Turbobrush features
The Turbobrush is operated by the suc‐
tion power of the vacuum cleaner.It has
a rotating roller brush which is very ef‐
fective at picking up thread, hairs and
fluff. Four rollers maintain the brush
1/16" (1.5 mm) away from the floor.
Recommended use

The Turbobrush should not be
used for vacuuming deep-pile rugs
and carpets or valuable hand-knot‐
ted rugs and carpets, e.g. Persian
and oriental rugs, etc. There is a
danger of the threads being pulled
out.

Do not use the Turbobrush to
clean highly variable or uneven
floors. The brush might come into
contact with the floor and cause
damage.
The Turbobrush is particularly suitable
for vacuuming thread and hair from
short pile carpeting.
The standard floorhead or one of the
Miele floorbrushes should be used for
cleaning hard floors.
It is also important to observe the
flooring manufacturer's cleaning and
care instructions.
Fitting the Turbobrush
Model STB 205 (Fig. 01)
This Turbobrush is intended for use
with Miele vacuum cleaners.
 Instead of the usual floor attachment,
fit the Turbobrush to the suction
wands, turning it clockwise or coun‐
ter-clockwise until it clicks into positi‐
on.
Model STB 201 Vario (Fig. 02)
This Turbobrush has an adjustable
adapter, enabling it it be used with non-
Miele vacuum cleaners. The adapter fits
suction wands with a diameter of be‐
tween 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" (30 and
38 mm). Only use the Turbobrush with
high performance vacuum cleaners.
Opening the air inlet valve
(Fig. 03)
The brush is operated by the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner. With
deeper, dense pile carpets the roller
brush may rotate more slowly. This is
caused by the carpet pile creating a
seal around the mouth of the Turbo‐
brush and hindering the flow of air. This
will affect how well the carpet is brush‐
ed.
 To increase the airflow, open the air
inlet valve (left hand illustration).
In all other situations the air inlet valve
should be closed, to benefit from the
full suction power.
 Close the air inlet valve (right hand il‐
lustration).
