Settings

For maximum cleaning perfor- mance, the following carpet height settings are recommended:

•Lowest setting: for all types of carpet.

Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push, turn knob to the next higher setting.

•Higher settings: for very deep pile carpet, where easier pushing effort is desired, while maintaining good cleaning performance.

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 forward strokes.

Stair cleaning

A stair cleaning handle has been designed for ease in using your cleaner on stairs. With handle in operating position, place fingers under edge of stair cleaning handle

(A)and guide cleaner with other hand on upper handle.

As an alternative, you may use the hose and power hand tool for stair cleaning. Clean from bottom to top.

When using cleaning tools, the agitator 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 bottom of stairs.
