How to use
CAUTION: POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD This vacuum cleaner is
not intended to be used where water may be present. Carpet will
retain moisture long after it has been wet. This vacuum cleaner
should not be used on wet or moist carpet.
Rug and floor nozzle
Use the combination rug and floor nozzle to clean both carpet and hard surface floors. To connect rug and floor nozzle to the wands and hose, rotate
the plastic latch ring on the wand to accept the button projection on the end
of the rug and floor nozzle. Turn the latch ring to lock in place. To remove,
reverse the procedure.
Hard surface floors
Put the brush in the floor position
by moving the brush lock lever to
the “FLOOR” position on the nozzle.
Rugs
Put the brush in floating position by
moving the brush lock lever either
to the left or right to the “RUG”
position. You will find it convenient
to use only one hand when operating the cleaner on rugs and
carpet.
Page 9
On certain types of dense carpet, it
may be advantageous to keep the
brush in a position where it does
not come in contact with the
carpet. To lock brush into the nozzle, adjust lever to “RUG” position
then press the brush all the way in-
to the nozzle with your finger.
While still holding the brush, adjust
the lever to the “FLOOR” position
and the brush will be locked into
place. To release brush; move the
brush lock lever either to the left or
right to the “RUG” position.
Note: Before using the nozzle on
hard surface floors, make certain
the brush is not locked into the
nozzle; then adjust the lever to the
“FLOOR” position.
For most efficient cleaning,
place the nozzle flat on rugs
and hard surface floors.
Edge cleaning feature
This feature provides for improved
cleaning of carpet edges near
baseboards and solid furniture.
Passages have been added to the
side of the nozzle to increase air
flow carrying dust from the carpet
edge to the nozzle.
Adjusting suction
The suction regulator is located on
the hose grip and may be used for
adjusting the amount of suction
when cleaning carpet and rugs or
when using the attachments.
Set the suction regulator to MINI-
MUM, MEDIUM, or MAXIMUM
suction by rotating the plastic ring
until the raised plastic indicator on
the dial is directly under the desired
setting.
