Stair cleaning
23A stair cleaning handle has been designed for ease in using your
cleaner on stairs. With handle in oper- ating position, place fingers under the edge of stair cleaning handle and guide cleaner with the other hand on upper handle.
As an alternative, you may use the hose and furniture nozzle for stair cleaning. Clean from bottom to top.
