the vacuum on or off.

vacuum cleaner off before unplugging it from the 
electrical outlet. 

Models: F3500 and F3500C –

forward to turn the machine on and pull  
the switch backward to turn the machine  
off (see figure 11).

middle position is the off setting, the rear 
position is the on setting and the forward 

position is for maximum power (see figure 12).

Push the switch halfway back to turn the vacuum 
off.  Push the switch all the way forward to use the

Edge Cleaning

The edge cleaning feature provides improved cleaning 

near walls and stationary furniture. For maximum edge 

cleaning, place the left side of the nozzle against the 
wall or stationary furniture.

Automatic Carpet Height Adjustment

Your Freedom vacuum is designed with an automatic, 

self-adjusting nozzle. No manual adjustments are 

required. The height of the nozzle is instantly and 
automatically adjusted to the flooring surface. This self-
adjusting feature allows the nozzle to float evenly over 
all flooring surfaces.

Bare Floor Cleaning - Models F3600, F3700  
and F3700C

The F3600, F3700 and F3700C models come 
equipped with a squeegee on the bottom of the 
vacuum to improve its effectiveness in cleaning bare 
floors.  When cleaning tile, hardwood, linoleum, etc., 

use the on setting, as opposed to the maximum 

 

power setting, for best results (see figure 13).
