Cleaning lightweight rugs

To clean lightweight flexible rugs, stand on one end of rug and move cleaner toward other end or edge. Before reach- ing edge, push down on handle. This will lift up the nozzle (front of cleaner) and will prevent rug from clinging to cleaner. Continue to lift up nozzle so that when you have reached the edge, it is completely off the rug. Move cleaner back to start again, lower nozzle, and use only forward strokes.

Edge cleaning

Edge cleaning is provided on both sides of nozzle to remove dirt in carpet near baseboards and furniture. Guide either side of nozzle parallel to edge of carpet or furniture.

Stair cleaning

A stair cleaning handle has been designed for ease in using your cleaner on stairs. With handle in operating posi- tion, place fingers under edge of stair cleaning handle and guide cleaner with other hand on upper handle.

As an alternative, you may use the hose and furniture nozzle for stair cleaning. Clean stairs from bottom to top.

When using cleaning tools, the agita- tor will continue to rotate.

CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or unnecessary wear to carpet, and to prevent the cleaner from falling, use extra care if cleaner is placed on stairs.
