Settings
Some models have 3 settings, others have
5. For both types, the following recommen-
dations apply.
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 Higher settings:
for deep-
er pile carpet where easier pushing effort
is desired, while maintaining good clean-
ing 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 (D).
When it is necessary to raise and lower the
nozzle for various carpet pile heights, turn
the carpet height adjustment knob (E) to
the desired setting.
For ease in turning the knob, place handle
in upright position.
Nozzle won’t move to adjusted position
until handle is lowered to operating
position.
