Using Your Cleaner

Press the recline pedal to lean your vacuum 

back for cleaning. To get even lower, press 

the recline pedal a second time. When 

you’re finished, lean it all the way back up 

to lock it into the upright position.

NOTE: 

Some frieze and berber carpets have long delicate fibers or threads that 

may be damaged by rotating brush. Repeated strokes in the same area may 

enhance this condition.

WARNING 

Before using your vacuum, make sure that the dirt container is 

in locked position and that all filters, both pre and post-filters are in place. 

DO NOT operate your vacuum without these filters.

WARNING 

The rotating floor brush continues to rotate while tools are in 

use. To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, always move the cleaner with the carry 

handle at the front of the unit. To prevent carpet damage, do not lean on the vacuum or 

let the powerfoot tilt forward. Always place the cleaner on the floor with the handle in the 

upright position when using tools. Never place your fingers under the cleaner when it is 

running. Never place the powerfoot on furniture or uneven surfaces. Do not place vacuum 

cleaner close enough to objects to pull them into rotating brush.

Automatic Cord Rewind

When you finish using your vacuum, 

unplug it from the outlet. Hold onto 

the plug and press the automatic cord 

rewind button until it’s fully retracted. 

If the cord doesn’t fully retract on the 

first try, pull a little bit of cord out and 

press the rewind button again.  

To plug your vacuum in, gently pull the 

cord out of the automatic cord rewind 

and stop at the yellow mark on the 

cord.  Do not pull past the red mark.  

Once you have the desired amount of 

cord, plug it into the outlet.

Press the red power switch      with 

your foot to turn on the unit.  Press it        

again to turn your vacuum off when 

you’ve finished cleaning. 

NOTICE 

The floor brush will continue to rotate while you use your vacuum for above floor cleaning. 

To prevent carpet damage, do not lean on the vacuum or let the powerfoot tilt forward.
