HOW TO USE
1. Cord Retainer. To use, push electrical cord down into cord retainer.
2. ON/OFF Switch. International symbol I means On, International symbol
O means Off.
3. Hose/Floor Selector. Turn to select hose for above floor cleaning or
floor for floor surface cleaning. If cleaning hard floor surface also adjust
the cleaner height setting to hard floor.
4. Cam Latch. To release clear tubes.
5. Dirt Alert Indicator (on some models). The dirt alert sensor uses infra-
red technology to indicate whether or not floors are clean. When debris
breaks the light beam, the red light comes on indicating additional
cleaning is needed in this area. If there is no break in the light beam,
the floor is clean and no light will come on.
When using your new vacuum you may be cleaning deep down dirt
missed by your old vacuum causing the light to stay red longer. With
frequent cleaning, after the first few times you use your Eureka vacuum,
the red light should go on less.
To check if the dirt alert sensor is working properly:
A. While the red light is on, tip the vacuum backwards on rear wheels,
lifting the brush roll off the carpet a couple of inches.
B. After a few seconds the red light should turn off.
6. Bag Change Indicator (on some models). Some models feature a
bag change indicator to remind you to change the bag. When it is time
to change the bag, the bag change indicator will illuminate.
Certain types of fine particles like powder, plaster dust, or fine road
dust can restrict airflow very quickly. The fine particles will decrease
performance even before the bag appears to be full. Change the dust
bag to restore maximum performance.
7. Bag Cover Latch. Pull up on latch to remove bag cover giving access
to the dust bag and motor filter. Push on latch to close cover.
8. HEPA Filter Door Latch. Squeeze latch and pull out to remove HEPA
Filter Door giving access to the HEPA Filter. Push on latch to close
door.
9. Handle Release. Step on handle release. Pull handle back to a
comfortable position.
10. Stair Handle. To use when cleaning stairs.
11. Brush Roll Control. Flip this lever to choose between cleaning hard
floors and carpeting. Brush roll is “off” for hard floors and “on” for carpets.

12. Cleaner Height Setting. The front of the cleaner has an adjustment that raises or lowers the cleaner base to match the
type of floor surface. With the cleaner cord unplugged, set the adjustment to lowest setting for maximum carpet cleaning.
If the cleaner is difficult to push, move adjustment to next highest setting until cleaner is comfortable to push.
The brush roll must reach the carpet for effective cleaning. The optimal hard floor cleaning adjustment is located next to
lowest carpet setting. For ease in moving the adjustment knob, place handle in operating position and tilt cleaner back to
remove weight from front wheels.
NOTE: The suction against some types of flooring may require higher cleaner height setting. The Hard Floor
setting is recommended, but the actual setting used for your hard floor may need to be adjusted for best
performance and ease of movement.
WARNING: Avoid injury. Keep loose clothing, hair, fingers, and all other parts of body away from any moving
part (such as the revolving brush). Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner before changing the
cleaner height setting.
