Q HOW DO I VACUUM MY UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE?

A 1. Convert to a canister. (See page 19.) (Do not use Power Nozzle (25) on furniture.)

2.Use the Attachment Hose with or without the following attachments:

•the Upholstery Nozzle.

•the Crevice Tool with the brush removed. (Use in between seat cushions and in crevices.)

•the optional Zippbrush.

The optional Zippbrush uses rotating brushes to agitate fibers and remove imbedded dirt and pet hair from the fabric. When using the Zippbrush, move it slowly from side to side across surface. Do not apply heavy pressure as it will slow the brush action. (If the brush becomes jammed and stops turning, simply rotate the inner rotating brush clockwise to free it up and let go. It should then resume turning.)

To clean hard-to-reach upholstery buttons, use narrow tip of the Zippbrush, located on the side opposite the hose, to work the dirt loose. (For additional information on the use and maintenance of the optional Zippbrush, see the Zippbrush section on page 45).
