DUST COMPARTMENT OPERATION (Fig. 7)

When the orange sign 6 appears continuously in the window,
empty the dust compartment.
Never allow the dust compartment to become so full that
the dirt will block the passage to the compartment.
Empty the dust compartment frequently when using the cleaner
on new carpets, due to rapid accumulation of carpet fluff. And
maintain the filters along Filter Care on Page 6.
In case the orange sign is still visible after emptying the dust
compartment, turn the cleaner off, unplug the cord and check
whether the duct hose is clogged. If so remove blockages.

NOTE: If the cleaner is used when the orange sign

appears in the window, it will not draw enough
air and the motor may overheat and may
eventually burn out.

CARRYING HANDLE (Fig. 8)

To move your cleaner from room to room, carry it by
the carrying handle
it on the rear wheels.
