The valve assembly will be closed when the cleaner is in the upright position° When you release the handle for normal operation the valve opens to allow air to pass for normal deep cleaning. This valve will sometimes become dirty and may need routine cleaning.
To clean the valve you must first remove the deep cleaning nozzle hose to gain access to the valve. Once the hose is
removed, wipe the surface of the valve.
Release the handle (see Handle Release section, page 8) and lay cleaner back,
With the cleaner in the back position the the valve is open. Wipe the inside with a soft cloth to remove any dirt or residue,
Return cleaner to the upright position. Re- attach nozzle hose and extension hose°
