OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
How to Adjust for Carpet Height
WARNING: To avoid injury, keep loose
clothing, hair, fingers and all other parts
of body away from any moving parts
(such as the beater brush). Turn off the
switch and unplug the vacuum before
adjusting the vacuum for the carpet
height.
The front of the power nozzle has a
carpet height adjustment knob that
raises and lowers the motorized power
head to match the type of carpet.
(Fig. 18) With the vacuum NOT
connected to the electrical outlet, set the
adjustment to the lowest setting for
maximum cleaning. If the vacuum is too
difficult to push, move the knob to the
next highest setting until the vacuum is
comfortable to push. The brush roll must
reach the carpet for the most effective
cleaning.
Vacuuming Floors & Carpets
The upright vacuum can be used to vacuum
all types of carpeting and bare floors.
The carpet-to-floor selector should only be
adjusted while the vacuum cleaner is turned
on and is in the upright position.
1. Turn the quick release cord holder
180° to either side to release the
power cord.
2. Plug the power cord into
the electrical outlet.
3. Depress on the handle
release pedal to
release the handle.

5. When vacuuming bare floors, set the
carpet-to-floor selector to the “Bare
Floor/Tools” position. This will lock the
brush roll and it will not turn. (Fig. 17)
CAUTION: Do not change the setting of
the carpet-to-floor selector while the
vacuum cleaner is turned off.
CAUTION: Do NOT pull the vacuum
cleaner around the room by the hose as it
could tip over and cause damage. When
using the attachments, do NOT over
extend the hose length when reaching.
Trying to reach beyond the hose reach
could cause the vacuum to tip over.
WARNING: Avoid tipping the vacuum or
setting it on furniture, fringed area rugs or
carpeted stairs while you are using the
hose with the attachments. When the
vacuum is turned on, the brush roll will
continue to rotate until you put the carpetto-floor selector to the “Bare Floor/Tools”
position. Avoid leaving the vacuum in one
place for an extended period of time,
particularly on thick carpet.
Note: When lifting your vacuum from the
carry handle, be careful not to press the
dust cup release button because you will
release the dust cup assembly.

Removing the Dust Cup Assembly
CAUTION: Always unplug the unit from
the electrical outlet before removing and
emptying the dust cup. Failure to do so,
may result in electric shock or personal
injury.

clean thoroughly, the dust cup should be
emptied after each use and/or each time
it reaches the “MAX” fill line.
1. To remove the dust cup assembly,
press the dust cup release button
and remove the dust cup assembly.
(Fig. 20)
Fig. 20
PRESS
IMPORTANT NOTE: See the
manufacturer’s recommendations when
vacuuming delicate or hand woven
carpets. They may suggest vacuuming
your carpet with the power nozzle on a
low height with the brush roll “Off. If this
is the case, set the carpet height
adjustor to the lowest setting and place
the carpet-to-floor selector to the “Bare
Floor/Tools” position.
WARNING: Always empty the dust cup
after each use and during prolonged
usage. Never over fill the dust cup
beyond the “MAX” fill line - r emove dirt
and clean the debris screen each time
the dust cup is emptied or during
prolonged usage or risk motor damage.
Empty the cyclonic chamber every three
months depending on the amount of
usage. Never let the dust in the c yclonic
chamber surpass the “MAX” fill line.
Using the Pet Hair Power Brush
The pet hair power brush may be used
with the telescopic wand or with the
handle.

high speed. Strong air suction is needed
to accomplish this. In order to ensure
that maximum air suction is maintained,
please read the following instructions:
1. Empty the Dust Cup prior to reaching
the “MAX” fill line.
2. Ensure that the rotating bristles on
the power brush is kept free of hair
and string.
3. Inspect the turbine regularly to
ensure that the air passage is free of
dirt and debris.
