You can stand it upright for vacuuming stairs and curtains etc. , When vacuuming especially fine dust, e. g. sawdust, sand, plaster, flour, talcum powder etc. , electrostatic charges build up naturally. Under certain conditions these charges will be released. To avoid the unpleasant effects of these discharges, a metal inlay has been incorporated into the underside of the handle. Make sure that you keep your hand in constant contact with this metal strip during vacuuming. Switching the Electrobrush on and off The Electrobrush is switched on separately from the vacuum cleaner by pressing the j button on the handle. This means that you can switch the Electrobrush off during vacuuming and the vacuum cleaner will continue to operate using suction only. This is useful when moving from vacuuming a fitted carpet to a rug, for example. 18 Setting down, transportation and storage Parking system (cannot be used with the SEB 236 Electrobrush) A Park system has been designed for conveniently parking the suction tube and floorhead during pauses. ^ Slot the floorhead into the parking attachment at the back of the vacuum cleaner. Switching on and off with the parking system The cleaner is automatically switched off when the floorhead is placed in the parking attachment. Lifting the floorhead out of the Park system switches the cleaner on again. 19 Setting down, transportation and storage Transportation and storage ^ Stand the vacuum cleaner upright when it is not being used and during storage. ^ Slot the floorhead downwards into one of the parking attachments on either side of the vacuum cleaner (the parking attachments cannot be used with the SEB 236 Electrobrush). ^ Retract the electro telescopic tube fully.
