The motor of this cleaner shuts off when the temperature
rises above the proper operating level.This prevents damage
from overheating,and prolongs the life of the motor.

If the cleaner shuts off automatically due to overheating
protection:

• Depress the ON/OFF toe switch (S) and disconnect
power cord.

• Check the wands, hose, power nozzle, filter bag and afterfil-

ter for blockage.

• Replace the filter bag if it is full of debris or it has been used
to vacuum up fine particles, such as talculm powder or
sheetrock dust, which will prematurely clog the bag.

• With the power cord disconnected from outlet,allow the

To connect the power cord (T) to wall outlet, pull the cord
out to the length required.A yellow band on the power cord
indicates the limit of extension. Do not pull the cord beyond
that point. Cord will not lock at any length unless the canister is
in a horizontal (wheels on the floor) position. Connect the plug
into wall outlet.

To rewind the power cord (T), give the
power cord a light tug and it will
automatically rewind.During
rewinding, hold onto the plug,
feed the power cord slowly
into the unit; do not allow

the cord to whip
into cordwinder.

To start the cleaner, gently press the toe switch (S)

on top of the unit.To stop the machine, press the ON/OFF toe
switch again. Always switch the cleaner OFF before discon-

necting power cord.

Open the suction control
(U) to reduce suction for
gentle cleaning of delicate
fabrics, lightweight rugs,
lamp shades or net curtains.

The suction control always
needs to be open when
using the crevice tool.

Use the power nozzle for
every type of dry floor
cleaning. The power noz-

zle’s self-adjusting action
adapts to different carpet
heights as well as hard sur­face floors. It maneuvers
easily around furniture and
right up to walls, providing
superior edge cleaning and
two-sided corner cleaning

(V).

POWER ON/OFF

There are two settings
on the power nozzle
(W):

• Setting the switch to

“I” (ON) engages the
high speed brush to
dig embedded grit
from carpets and
whisk up dust and
dirt from hard surface
floors. Use the suction
control (U) to reduce suction when cleaning delicate rugs.

• Setting the switch to “O”(OFF) disengages the brush and
only the canister’s suction is used to clean hard surface
floors. Operating the power nozzle without the brush rotat­ing will help prevent marring of hard surface floors.

CAUGHT OBJECTS

If an object becomes caught in the power nozzle it will
automatically shut off.

To restart power nozzle follow these instructions:

Depress the ON/OFF toe
switch and unplug power
nozzle cord (X).

If the object is caught in the
revolving brush turn the
power nozzle over and
gently remove the caught
object from the brush (Y).

If the object is caught
further in the unit, detach
the wand and remove the
object through the elbow
(Z).

Reattach the wand and
power nozzle cord.Reset red
circuit breaker button (AA)
and turn cleaner ON.
