Suggested Pile Height Setting:
You may need to raise the height of the vacuum to make some jobs easier, such as scatter rugs and longer pile carpets. Suggested settings are: HIGH: shag carpet, long pile, plush
scatter rugs
MED: medium to long pile
LOW: short to medium pile, bare floors
EX LOW: very low pile, bare floors
Place unit in "HIGH" setting when using attachments to prevent possible floor damage.
Attention: Special care is required when vacuuming certain types of carpet or floor covering. Always check the carpet or floor covering manufacturer's recommended cleaning instructions before vacuuming.
3.While holding the power cord out of the way, slide the handle into the opening at the top of the vacuum.
