Cleaning Tools (continued)
Cleaning tools can also be attached to the
curved handle for tasks where the wand is
not needed.
• Disconnect the wand from the curved
handle by pressing the Wand Release
Button (Fig. 1).
• Attach any of the cleaning tools directly to
the curved handle.
Adjusting the Suction Power for
Tool Cleaning
Full suction power may be too strong for
some cleaning situations. For example,
reduced suction power would be
appropriate for cleaning sheer curtains.
• On the curved handle, locate the Suction
Relief Valve and slide it backward (Fig. 2).
This reduces the suction power coming
through the tool. Slide the valve forward
when finished to restore full suction power.
Disconnecting the Hose
The hose can be disconnected from the
vacuum by pressing the two buttons on the
sides of the Hose Disconnect Cuff located
low on the back of the vacuum (Fig. 3).
This allows you to attach an optional
extension hose for longer reach and is also
a method for removing debris from the hose.
