Your new upright has many special features. All were designed for effortless cleaning because suction alone does not
make a vacuum cleaner clean. There must be "air movement" to have cleaning power. That's why the nozzle has
deep, wide air vents at both ends. These vents permit air to circulate between the nozzle and carpet at all times;
the result

our special self-propelling Cushionaire Cleaning. Your new upright also has exclusive curved fan blades
which create more air volume per minute at less motor speed than straight blades. This means more efficient carpet
cleaning and less electricity consumption; thus you save time and money.

Brush bristles, 10" Floor Brush Bristles and

nozzle insert are removable for washing.
TOUSEYOURCLEANERFORBLOWING
Sometimes only a powerful blast of air will do the cleaning job
needed. You may wish to blow-clean open bookcases, stereos,
piano interior, refrigerator or freezer coils. When blowing, be
conscious of
where
you will be blowing the dust. Our suggestion
is to always blow it toward a dampened towel which will trap the
dust and not scatter
it
in
the air to resettle on other furniture.
When you are finished, just toss the "dusty" towel into your
washer.
TO BLOW:
Unplug cleaner. Detach outer cloth bag coupling
from exhaust outlet. Attach metal end of hose in its place.
Insert crevice tool at opposite end of hose. Plug in cleaner.
Place dampened towel behind object to be cleaned and direct
air so that it blow the dust against the towel. When you are
finished, turn off and unplug the cleaner; remove the hose.
Twist and lock the cloth bag to its usual cleaning position.
ACCESSORlESlOPTlONS

USING THE FELT POLISHER PAD:
The convenient accessory makes light work of dusting and
polishing hardwood, linoleum, and other hard surface
floors. Made of special felt composition, the Pad loosens
dirt and surface film without scratching.
When you want to use the Felt Polisher Pad, exchange it
for the metal Rug Nozzle Guard. Adjust the Pad to the
hard surface floor as you would for a rug or carpet, until
the button pops IN. At this point, the cleaner's front
wheels will be "floating" slightly so that the Pad makes
full contact with the floor.
