Using the Attachments
1.Place vacuum in its upright position. Make sure that the vacuum cleaner is NOT plugged into the electrical outlet when adding or removing accessories.
2.Turn the carpet height selector
to the highest position and set the Carpet to Floor selector to the “Floor” position.
3.Remove the hose connector from the rear of the unit and push in the desired attachment firmly onto the end of the hose.
4.If additional length is required, attach the extension tubes to the end of the hose and then attach the crevice tool, round brush or upholstery brush to the end of the extension tube.
Warning: Avoid tipping the vacuum or setting it on furniture, fringed area rugs or carpeted stairs while you are using the hose with the attachments. When using the unit to vacuum floors or with attachments, set the Carpet to Floor Selector to the “Floor” position. This will stop the beater brush from rotating. When vacuuming carpets, avoid leaving the vacuum in one place for an extended period of time, particularly on thick carpet.
Caution: Do NOT pull the vacuum cleaner around the room by the hose as it could tip over and cause damage. When using the attachments, do NOT over extend the hose length when reaching. Trying to reach beyond the hose reach could cause the vacuum to tip over.
