Vacuuming Carpet
For carpet cleaning, recline the handle
and push the On/Off Switch to the “On”
position. The Brushroll Mode Button will
illuminate green indicating the brushroll
is in the carpet cleaning “High” setting
(Fig. 2).
NOTE: For vacuuming plush or very thick
carpet, open the Suction Relief Valve on
the hose handle to reduce the suction
power (see Page 14).
Vacuuming Area Rugs
Recline the handle and push the On/
Off switch to the “On” position. Push
the Brushroll Mode Button once so
it is flashing indicating the brushroll is
in “Low Setting” for cleaning delicate
rugs, wool and silk carpet (Fig. 3).
Vacuuming Bare Floors
Recline the handle and push the On/Off
switch to the “On” position. Push the
Brushroll Mode Button twice so it is
no longer illuminated indicating the
brushroll is “Off” for cleaning bare floors
(i.e. tile, wood, vinyl) (Fig. 4).
Brushroll Auto Shut-Off Feature
When the vacuum is turned on in carpet
and rug mode and in the upright position,
the brushroll will stop spinning to
reduce the possibility of damaging
flooring surfaces. The brushroll will spin
when the handle is reclined.
Always turn the vacuum cleaner off before
unplugging it from the electrical outlet.
