Plug cord into electrical outlet.
To turn cleaner ON, push switch (A) up.
To turn cleaner OFF, push switch down.
Polarized plug
Note: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

This feature allows you to control how quickly the cleaner moves.
Note: The self-propel feature operates only when the cleaner switch and the self propel button are both ON.
To move forward, push handle forward and guide cleaner away from you.
To move backward, gently pull handle back and guide the cleaner toward you.
Guide cleaner carefully at first until you have adjusted to the ease of operation.
For increased control in tight places
(e.g., around and under furniture, noncarpeted floors), slide the self-propel button to OFF to deactivate the feature.
Transporting cleaner

When the red light is on, you should take additional cleaning strokes in the area until it changes to green.
Embedded Dirt FINDERTM
feature (some models only)
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 red light may seldom come on during cleaning. This means that your cleaner is picking up primarily fine surface dust and lint which the system may not detect, or that the carpet is generally clean. To increase the feature’s sensitivity 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 to the “Reg.” (Regular) position.
Brush roll control
Note: When handle is in upright position, brush roll is automatically OFF.
Move the brush roll control only when the handle is in the upright position.
Slide control to “Carpet” to turn brush roll ON for cleaning carpet or rugs.
Slide control to “Hard” to turn brush roll OFF when cleaning bare floors.
