4. How to operate
Carrying Cleaner
The cleaner can also be moved by using the carrying
handle (Fig.4/1).
Handle Positions
The handle of your cleaner has three positions; upright
for storage and when using cleaning tools; operating
position for general operation on carpet and floors; low
for reaching under low furniture.
Step on handle release lever to lower handle (Fig.4/2).
Carpet Height Adjustment
The cleaning of carpet and rugs takes place at the nozzle
(A). When it is necessary to raise and lower the nozzle for
various carpet pile heights, place handle in upright
position and turn the carpet height adjuster (B) to the
desired setting (Fig.4/3).
NOTE: The nozzle will not move into the adjusted
position until the cleaner handle is lowered to the
operating position.
Settings
For maximum cleaning performance, the following carpet
height settings are recommended:
• Lowest setting: for all types of carpet.
NOTE: If the cleaner is difficult to push, turn knob to
the next higher setting.
• Higher settings: for very deep pile carpet, where easier
pushing effort is desired, while maintaining good cleaning
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 (Fig.4/4).
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.
Stair Cleaning
A stair cleaning handle has been designed for ease in
using your cleaner on stairs. With handle in operating
position, place fingers under edge of stair cleaning
handle and guide cleaner with other hand on upper
handle (Fig.4/5).
