Cord Rewind Button

3. Lower wand from upright position by pressing on the handle release pedal.

4. Select a pile height setting by pressing

the small pedal on the rear of the Power

Mate®. The pile height setting shows on the indicator. See SUGGESTED PILE HEIGHT SETTINGS.

CAUTION

DO NOT leave the Power-Mate* running in one spot in the upright position for any length of time. Damage

to carpet may occur.

1, Pull cord out of canister to desired length.

The cord will not rewind until the cord

rewind button is pushed.

NOTE: To reduce the risk of electric shock,

this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug; one biade 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, con tact a qualified electrician to install the prop er outlet. Do not change the plug in any

way.

2. Plug the polarized power cord into a 120 Volt outlet located near the floor.

To rewind: Unplug the cleaner. Hold the plug while rewinding to prevent damage or

injury from the moving cord. Push cord rewind button.

Attention: Refer to your carpet manufactur

ers cleaning recommendations. Some more delicate carpets may require that they be vacuumed with the Power-Mate® agitator turned off, to prevent carpet damage.

5. Select a switch position on the handle.

FLOOR - turns on the canister motor only. CARPET - turns on both the canister and

the Power-Mate® motors. NOTE - When this switch is in the FLOOR

position, the headlight DOES NOT function since no electricity flows to the Power Mate*.

Page 9

Suggested sweeping pattern.

For best cleaning action, the Power-Mate* should be pushed straight away from you and pulled straight back. At the end of each pull stroke, the direction of the Power-Mate* should be changed to point into the next section to be cleaned. This pattern should

be continued across the rug with slow, glid

ing motions.

NOTE: Fast,

jerky strokes do

not provide complete clean

ing.

The hose swivel allows the hose to turn without moving the canister. This is helpful for cleaning in small areas. Check hose for twisting before

pulling canister.

Carpeted stairs need to be vacuumed regu

larly. For best cleaning results, fully close the suction control.

WARNING

Personal Injury and Product Damage Hazard

• DO NOT ain over power cord with Power-Mate*. Persona!

injury or damage could result.

• DO NOT pull plug from wall by the power cord. If there is

damage to the cord or plug, personal injury or property damage could result.

WARNING

For best deep down cleaning, use the XLO setting. However, you may need to raise the height to make some jobs easier, such as scatter rugs and some deep pile carpets, and to prevent the vacuum cleaner from shutting off. Suggested settings are:

CAUTION

Product Damage Hazard Use care if the Power-Mate* and wand

is left in the upright position as it may tip over easily. Property damage can occur if tipped.

Personal Injury Hazard

Use care if canister is placed on stairs. If it falls, personal injury or property damage could result.

For best cleaning results, keep the airflow

passage open. Check each assembly area in HOW YOUR VACUUM WORKS occasion

ally for clogs. Unplug from outlet before

checking.

HI - Shag, deep pile, or scatter rugs, MED - Medium to deep pile, LO - Low to medium pile.

AUTO-CLEANING SYSTEM

This vacuum is equipped with an auto-clean ing system. Each time the power cord is extended a cleaning cam located inside the dust bin rotates and cleans the filter.

POWER-MATE® STORAGE

The lower wand has a “U” shaped flange in the area where the power cord attaches. The canis ter has a “U” shaped slot near ' the rear of the canis ter.

The slot allows the wands and Power-Mate® to be stored with the canister to conserve storage space.

The wand will slip out of the slot as it is lift

ed up for use and will slide into the slot as it is lowered for storage.

THERMAL PROTECTOR

This vacuum has a thermal protector which

automatically trips to protect the vacuum from overheating. The thermal protector turns the motor off automatically to allow the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to the vacuum.

To reset Turn off and unplug the vacuum

from the outlet to allow the vacuum to cool.

Check for and remove any clogs. Also check and replace any clogged filters. Wait approximately 30 minutes and plug the

vacuum in and turn back on to see if the

thermal protector has reset. In some cases, the unit may suddenly restart. DO NOT leave unattended while plugged in.

Personal Injury Hazard

Always unplug the vacuum cleaner before cleaning the brush area as brush may suddenly restart. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.

Page 12

The vacuum cleaner creates suction that

picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the dirt to the dust bin through the airflow passages. The dust bin lets the air pass through, while it traps the dirt.

For best cleaning results, keep the airflow passage open. Check the starred areas occasionally for clogs. Unplug from outlet before checking
