When connecting the vacuum cleaner nozzle, its type designation can be recorded by the reader. This then gives the control device the possibility of adapting the suction power of the suction fan to the vacuum cleaner nozzle used.
  • the at least one cleaning element of the cleaning device is usually replaceable, since it is subject to wear during operation of the cleaning device and therefore wears off over time. It must then be replaced by a new cleaning element of the same type. Frequently, different cleaning elements can be used in a cleaning device. However, the user must be careful that he only uses cleaning elements that are actually suitable for the particular cleaning device. If the user uses an unsuitable cleaning element, this can lead to a disruption of the cleaning device or even to an unsatisfactory cleaning result. There is also the danger that the use of an unsuitable cleaning element will damage the surface to be cleaned.

It may, for example, be provided that the local storage element of the at least one cleaning element is read out directly when the cleaning device is started up.
  • the startup of the cleaning device and the beginning of the actual cleaning action of the cleaning element take place sequentially in time, so that the local memory element does not have to be read out simultaneously with the startup of the cleaning device in each case.
  • the readout process should be completed until the beginning of the actual cleaning files of the cleaning element, because this gives the possibility to delay the start of the cleaning action or even completely stop, if the evaluation of the read characteristic data comes to the conclusion that the cleaning element for the operation the cleaning tool is not suitable.
