Brush control

To turn the brushbar OFF for bare or delicate flooring, rugs, and carpets, put the machine in the cleaning position, and press the red button. Press it again to restart brushbar.

tip Ensure the stabilizer clicks into

place before vacuuming.

Small movements of the wrist will create a zigzag motion in the cleaner head for easier cleaning around furniture.

tip Twist and turn your wrist like you are turning a doorknob to make the

most of DC15’s maneuverability.

When finished, push the handle firmly beyond the upright position to drop the stabilizing wheels.

Ensure stabilizer wheels are fully locked in place before releasing the machine.

IMPORTANT

• The brushbar will reset to “ON” each time you start the machine and put it in the cleaning position.

• If the brushbar stops during use, please refer to the clearing blockages section.

• Ensure stabilizer wheels are fully locked in place before releasing the machine.

• Consult your flooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before vacuuming your flooring, rugs, and carpets. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brushbar is used when vacuuming. If this happens we recommend vacuuming in bare floors mode and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
