These cleaners operate on a dirty air principal, i.e,
the air that brings dirt into the cleaner is separate

from the air that coo_flow is
illustrated in Fig 2.

The dirty air from the floor or above the floor if
using tools, goes past the motor area then directly
into the primary filter (the throw-away bag)

which captures the dust dirt and debris from the
surface being cleaned. It is very important that TA
bags are changed as needed for maximum performance.

"Breathe Easy ''ru models also have 3 layer,

washable "final filter" in a visible cassette on the
front of the bag housing. These filters trap 100%

dust mites and 99.98% ragweed and common grass

pollens. Like any filter, these must be kept clean to
insure maximum performance. Fig.3.

The On/Off Switch control is located on the front

of the upper handle. Fig 4.

On models with the Embedded Dirt FINDER TM
(EDF) feature, the switch (HI & LO) and indicator

lights are located on the top of the bag housing in

easy view of the operator. Fig. 5.

The EDF feature is powered by a 9 Volt battery

which the customer must install.

The DIRT FINDER feature tells the user when dirt

is being removed from the carpet via a small

microphone located in the fill tube. When dirt is
being picked up the mic senses it and the RED light

comes on. When the carpet is clean the light turns

GREEN.

The cleaning t0ol hose is permanently attached to
the cleaner body through an opening in the hood.
Therefore, the user must insure that the nozzle

control on the front of the hood is set properly for
floor or above the floor cleaning. Suction is diverted
via a gate valve located behind the aszitator cavity.

Settings I to 4 are carpet (or floor) settings. In any
one of these positions all suction is diverted to the

cleaner nozzle. There is no suction at the end of the
hose. Fig. 6.

Setting 5 is strictly for using the cleaning tools. In
this position, all suction is diverted to the hose and
there is no suction at the nozzle of the cleaner. Fig. 7.
