Cleaning lightweight flexible rugs

Stand on one end of rug and move cleaner toward other end or edge. Before reaching edge, push down on handle. This will lift up the nozzle (front of cleaner) as shown 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 for- ward strokes.

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 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, always place it at the bottom of the stairs.

Cleaning tools

Tools allow for cleaning surfaces above the floor and for reaching hard to clean areas.

The cleaner is ready for tool use when handle is in upright position.

For best tool performance, set the ON- OFF-HUSH™ switch to ON and set the Power Boost Switch to lock.

CAUTION: Agitator continues to rotate while cleaner handle is in upright position. Avoid tipping clean- er or setting it on furniture, fringed area rugs or carpeted stairs during tool use.
