the carpet height adjustment knob (C) to the desired setting.

For ease in turning the knob, place handle in upright position and tilt cleaner back slightly.

Settings

For maximum cleaning performance,

tile following carpet height settings are recommended.

• Low setting: for all types of carpet and hard floors.

Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push, rotate knob to the next higher setting.

• Medium and High settings: for deeper pile carpet where easier pushing effort is desired, while maintaining good cleaning performance.

Cleaning lightweight flexible rugs

Stand on one end of rug and move cleaner toward other end or edge. Before reaching edge, push down on handle. This will lift up the nozzle (front of cleaner) as shown and will prevent rug from clinging to cleaner. Continue to lift up nozzle so that when you have reached the edge, it is completely off

the rug. Move cleaner back to start

ward strokes.

A stair cleaning handle has been designed for ease in using your cleaner on stairs. With handle in operating posi- tion, place fingers under edge of stair cleaning handle and guide cleaner with other hand on upper handle.

As an alternative, you may use the hose and furniture nozzle for stair cleaning. Clean from bottom to top.

When using cleaning tools, the agita- tor will continue to rotate.

unnecessary wear to carpet, and to prevent the cleaner from falling,

always place it at the bottom of the stairs.
