ward and guide cleaner away from you.

using cleaning tools; operating posi-

tion for general operation on carpet

and floors; low for reaching under low

furniture.

Step on handle release lever to lower

handle.

Carpet height

adjustment

When it is necessary to raise and lower

the front of the cleaner for various car-

pet pile heights, slide the carpet height

control (B) to the desired setting.

For maximum cleaning performance,

tile following carpet height settings are

recommended:

• Low setting: for all types of carpet

° Higher settings: for very deep pile

carpet where easier pushing effort is

desired, while maintaining good clean-

ing performance.

Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push,

slide control to the next higher setting.

Embedded Dirt FINDER TM

feature (available on some models)

With red and green lights (C), the 'Dirt

FINDER' system alerts the user to areas

of carpet that may need more cleaning

attention. It is able to sense when larger

amounts of dirt particles, especially

embedded dirt, are removed.

To let you know that the 'Dirt FINDER'

feature is ready the red light will come on

when the cleaner is first turned on. After

a few seconds, the red light will go off

and the green light will come on.

Cleaning may then begin.

The green light will remain on through-

out cleaning except when the detector

senses that a larger amount of dirt is

being picked up; then the red light will

come on.

When the red light is on, you should

take additional cleaning strokes in the

area until it changes to green.

°The red light may seldom come on

during cleaning. This means that your

cleaner is picking up primarily fine sur-

face dust and lint which the system may

not detect, or that the carpet is general-

ly clean. To increase the feature's sen-

sitivity to dirt, set the switch (D) to the

"Hi" position.

°At other times, the red light may stay

on for a considerable amount of time.

This means that the carpet contains a

high level of dirt which is being

removed by the cleaner. To decrease

the feature's sensitivity to dirt, set the

switch (D) to the "Reg." (Regular) posi-

tion.
