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) 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.

Edge cleaning

Edge cleaning is provided on both
sides of nozzle to remove dirt in
carpet near baseboards and
furniture.  Guide either side of
nozzle parallel to edge of carpet or
furniture.

operating position, place fingers

injury or unnecessary wear to
carpet, and to prevent the
