For maximum cleaning performance, the following carpet height settings are
recommended:
Lowest setting: for all types of carpet and hard surface flooring.

Higher settings: for very deep pile carpet, where easier pushing effort is
desired, while maintaining good cleaning performance.
ATTENTION: Special care is required when vacuuming certain types of carpet
of floor covering. Always check the recommended cleaning instructions of the
carpet or floor covering before vacuuming.
To Select Suction Control:
Turn the Suction Control Knob to desire setting from MIN to MAX.

WARNING
Do not place hands or feet underneath the brush unit at any time. When
using attachments, the agitator continues rotating.
Do not allow the cleaner to remain in just one place for a period as the
agitator may damage the floor surface.
Avoid placing the cleaner on furniture, the fringed area of rugs, deep pile
carpeting, or carpeted stairs. The ideal position for the cleaner when using
attachments is for the unit to be on a level area with the handle in the full
upright position.
TO USE ATTACHMENTS
Tools allow for cleaning surfaces above the floor and for reaching hard to clean
areas. The cleaner is ready for attachment use when handle is in upright position.
Use the hose and attachments for stair cleaning. Clean from bottom to top.
When using cleaning tools, the agitator will continue to rotate.
When using attachments, be careful not to overextend the hose length when
reaching. Trying to reach beyond the hose reach could cause the cleaner to tip
over.
If the dusting brush is being used and more distance is needed, the crevice tool
can be added to the wand, then the dusting brush can be added to the wand.

and lower cord retainer.
