when wearing open toe shoes or sandals.

• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches,

lower the nozzle for various carpet

pile heights, slide the nozzle control

knob (B) to the desired setting.

HIGH BARE

FLOOR

2-7

Handle position

For ease in sliding knob, the handle

should be in the upright position (C).

The nozzle will not move into the

adjusted position until the cleaner

handle is lowered to the operating

position (D).

Settings

For maximum cleaning performance,

the following carpet height settings are

recommended:

• Lowest setting: for all types of carpet

Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push,

slide knob to the next higher setting.

• Higher settings: for very deep pile

carpet where easier pushing effort is

desired, while maintaining good cleaning

performance.

Cleaning lightweight

flexible rugs

Stand on one end of rug and move

cleaner toward other end or edge.

Before reaching edge, push down

on handle. This will lift up the nozzle

(front of cleaner) as shown and will

prevent rug from clinging to cleaner.

Continue to lift up nozzle so that

when you have reached the edge, it

is completely off the rug. Move

cleaner back to start again, lower

nozzle, and use only forward

strokes.

Cleaning tools

Tools allow for cleaning surfaces

above the floor and for reaching

hard to clean areas.

The cleaner is ready for tool use

when handle is in upright position.

CAUTION: Agitator continues to

rotate while cleaner handle is in

upright position. Avoid tipping

cleaner or setting it on furniture,

fringed area rugs or carpeted

stairs during tool use.

2-9 2-11

Stair cleaning

A stair cleaning handle has been de-

signed for ease in using your cleaner on

stairs. With handle in operating position,

place fingers under edge of stair clean-

ing handle and guide cleaner with other

hand on upper handle.

As an alternative, you may use the hose

and furniture nozzle for stair cleaning.

Clean from bottom to top.

When using cleaning tools, the agita-

tor will continue to rotate.

CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or

unnecessary wear to carpet, and to

prevent the cleaner from falling,

always place it at bottom of stairs.

Edge cleaning

Special edge groomers are provided

on both sides of the nozzle to

remove dirt in carpet near base-

boards and furniture.

Guide either side of nozzle parallel

to edge of carpet or furniture.

area.

Push cover down to secure in place.

How to clean tools

To clean the hose, wipe off dirt with

a cloth dampened in a mild deter-

gent. Rinse with a damp cloth.

Cleaning tools may be washed in

warm water with a detergent. Rinse

and air dry before using.

2-13

necting hose to hose tube (A).

Check bag indicator

The indicator (K) will begin to show

red as the filter bag fills with dirt.

There are three conditions that will

cause the indicator to become com-

pletely red:

1. If the bag is full; change the bag.

2. If very fine materials have been

picked up, clogging the bag pores;

change the bag.

3. If there is a blockage in the nozzle,

hose, tools or at the bag opening;

remove the blockage (see “Clearing

blockages” section).

Select proper tool

2-16 2-17

3. Maintenance

Familiarize yourself with these home

maintenance tasks as proper use

and care of your cleaner will ensure

continued cleaning effectiveness.

Filter bag

When to replace

Check filter bag from time to time. It

is recommended that you change

the filter bag when dirt reaches the

dotted line. If more dirt than this

accumulates, your cleaner will not

operate effectively.

Note: All new carpet has loose

fibers which can fill the bag quick-

ly while vacuuming. This type of

debris does not activate the “Check

bag” indicator available on some

models.

So, if you are using the cleaner on

new carpet, be sure to change the

filter bag often, even if you have a

“Check bag” indicator and it does

not show red.

CAUTION: Very fine materials,

such as face powder, cornstarch,

fireplace ashes or fireplace soot,

may seal the filter bag and may

cause it to burst even though it is

only partially full of dirt. When

cleaner is used to remove material

of this nature, change filter bag

often.

Secondary and final

filters

The secondary filter (A), located

dition.
