Power nozzle
The power nozzle adjusts automatically for cleaning hard surface floors and vari- ous heights of carpets. It is not recom- mended for very irregular surfaces such as brick, slate, and certain par- quet floors unless it is unplugged from the cleaner. This will stop the agi- tator from rotating. If desired, a special wall/floor brush (shown in “Cleaning tools” section) can be purchased for this task, if it is not included with your model.

upright and operating.
To lower handle to operating position, place your foot on the power nozzle and pull handle back.
Edge cleaning
q, Brushed edge cleaning is provid- ed on both sides of the nozzle to remove embedded dirt in carpet near
baseboards and furniture. Guide either side of nozzle parallel to edge of carpet or furniture.
