Settings
For maximum cleaning performance,
the following carpet height settings are
recommended.
• Low setting:
for all types of carpet and
hard floors.
Note:
If the cleaner is difficult to push,
rotate knob to the next higher setting.
• Medium and High settings:
for deeper
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 for-
ward strokes.
Carpet height
adjustment
The cleaning of carpet and rugs takes
place at the nozzle (B).
When it is necessary to raise and lower the
nozzle for various carpet pile heights, turn
the carpet height adjustment knob (C) to
the desired setting.
For ease in turning the knob, place handle
in upright position and tilt cleaner back
slightly.
