Indicator light
The indicator light on the Electrobrush
has dual functionality.
It will light up:
– yellow, when the roller brush is rotat-
ing
– red, if the roller brush is blocked
(roller brush safety mechanism), e.g.
because a large object has been va-
cuumed.
 Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from
the electrical supply immediately.
Switch off at the wall socket and un-
plug it.
 Remove the blockage. See "Mainten-
ance".
Wait approx. two minutes before
switching the vacuum cleaner on again.
This will enable the roller brush safety
mechanism to reset itself.
Maintenance

Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the power supply for
maintenance work and for cleaning.
Switch off at the wall socket and un-
plug it.
Removing threads and hairs
(dia. 06, 07 + 08)
 Cut any threads or hairs that have

brush with a pair of scissors .
Then run the vacuum cleaner to va-
cuum up the bits.

The roller brush cover can be opened to
remove stubborn soiling or blockages
from inside the Electrobrush.
 Loosen both locking screws under-
neath the Electrobrush with a coin
and then remove the roller cover.
The roller brush can then be taken out
of its holder and cleaned. Clean the
area around the roller brush at the same
time.
Please observe illustration (dia. 09)
when refitting the roller brush.
The roller bearing has marks on it in the
form of notches.
With a new roller brush the end of the
roller bearing with the one notch must
face the base plate (see left hand illus-
tration). This enables the bristles to
stick out by 2 mm which is important
for good brushing.
When the bristles start to show signs of
wear after prolonged use:
 Refit the roller bearing so that the end
with two notches points towards the
base plate (see right hand illustration).
 Refit the cover over the roller brush
and secure it (dia. 10).
 Tighten the locking screws.
If the bristles on the roller brush are
worn down any more the roller brush
must be replaced with a new one.
Replacing a drive belt (dia. 11)
 Loosen both locking screws under-
neath the Electrobrush with a coin
and then remove the roller cover (dia.
07).
